    5.0 out of 5 stars Most comprehensive D5100 guide!, August 14, 2011
    By 
    This review is from: David Busch's Nikon D5100 Guide to Digital SLR Photography (Paperback)
    This is easily the best book on the Nikon D5100, as it has more depth, more tips and techniques, and more easily understood explanations than you'll find in the smaller books, which are basically just reprints of the user manual using different phrasing. Everything in this book relates directly to using the Nikon D5100, from the introduction chapters that provide full descriptions of the controls to the chapters on choosing the best Nikon lenses and working with the flash. The chapters on using menu settings are longer than many of the other books, more than 100 pages, with detailed and easy to understand explanations of what every menu option is for, and most importantly why you should choose each particular option (rather than just a simple listing of what the option does. Many of us need the extra help the author provides.) I liked this book so much I immediately ordered Busch's condensed version,... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Most complete and easily-understood D5100 Guidebook, July 28, 2011
    This review is from: David Busch's Nikon D5100 Guide to Digital SLR Photography (Paperback)
    This is the latest Busch's industry-best guidebooks, offering a comprehensive manual for the Nikon D5100 mid-level digital SLR. This one is a companion for Nikon's ground-breaking upgrade from the entry-level D3100. The D5100 features a swiveling LCD, full HDTV movie making, 16.2 megapixel resolution, and other features not usually found in a low-cost D-SLR. Busch gives them all a workout in this book, going much deeper than the run-of-the-mill camera guide to offer advice on how to use every control, select every menu option, and take the best pictures of your life. The author's friendly style leads you through the camera's features and tells you not only what each capability does, but gives examples of when you'll get the most benefit from using it. Busch explains all the new features for the D5100 in a way that's easy to understand. His novel approach is to condense all the essential information about each and every control on the camera into a multi-page "roadmap" that... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must Read" for this camera, September 18, 2011
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: David Busch's Nikon D5100 Guide to Digital SLR Photography (Paperback)
    I recently purchased the Nikon D5100 and read the owners manual as diligently as I could, trying to figure out how to fully use all of the possible options this camera has to offer. It becomes quite apparent that the Owners Manual simply isn't enough.

    I ordered this book and it arrived a couple of weeks ago, and it really opened my eyes as to what this camera is capable of. Everything is set out in sensible chapters, shows and explains every mode available, and gives you a sense of empowerment over the camera, instead of bewilderment.

    If you are upgrading from a basic DSLR or taking a huge jump to this camera as a first DSLR, then this book is a must. Without it, or something like it, then realizing the full potential of this camera could take a very long time, and be very frustrating.

    With my camera body I bought a very good lens. I'm delighted I also bought this very good book.
