3.0 out of 5 stars An Extra Manual, February 23, 2008
I purchased this book along with the d40x Field Guide, and have to say the Field Guide is much better. This book offers little that the original manual doesn't already have.

Get this instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars a complement to the manual, September 10, 2007
This book is a terrific guide to help understand all the functions of the D 40, and I realized that it gave me significant insight concerning not only what functions were on the D 40, but what settings and features should be changed from defaults.Very useful.Thanks to the author and Magic Lantern Guides.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very illuminating, March 8, 2009
Sorry to be the skunk at the garden party, but this book did nothing for me. The writing is stilted and abtuse and there's little in here that goes beyond the owner's manual, which is actually clearer and easier to understand. The author spends several pages on AF (autofocus) modes and settings and only confused me further. He uses terms like "moire" and "aliasing" without explaining. You have to go to the glossary in the back for elaboration.

Waste of money; just read the owner's manual or visit www.kenrockwell.com and get ken's easy-to-follow D40 guide.

The book is difficult for me to understand, however, I believe this is due to my total lack of knowledge of photography terms. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty basic
I got this book and it is just an expanded version of the user's guide that came with the camera. I picked up David Busch's Field Guide and it is much more helpful than this one.
