David Busch's Nikon D300 Guide to Digital SLR Photography

I'm still reading it and will continue to do so until I have mastered this camera. Simple enough for non-techy's like me...helpful enough for the pro-photographer.

If you own a Nikon D300, this book is a must for your library.
What the author has done is amazing. I can think of no camera that has a better book to go along with the manual than this one. This book offers ideas and suggestions that I have to go to other books to get. This book is an all in one book.

I just hope the author does another on for the Nikon D700.
This is a must purchase for all Nikon D300 owners.

Excellent book, highly recommended. Have been using Nikon F-series cameras since 1979, my D300 is my first digital camera, and the David Busch guide has really helped me get comfortable with the camera, and explained a lot of associated things along the way. Definitely not a rehash of the manual.

My only criticisms would involve editing; there are some "oops" sections that better editing would have clarified, and some of the discussions that are supposed to take place in later chapters don't (at least I haven't found them, and I'm on my 4th reading).

I had only had my Nikon D300 for a few months before ordering this book. I had read the user's manual and was enjoying the camera very much. I knew I was not fully utilizing the camera and wanted more. This book did it. It was easy to read and understand. I am now doing more with this camera than I ever dreamed possible. If you want to understand your D300 to the max, this is the book!

David Busch writes clearly and covers all facets of using the D300. The book is best for less-experienced users of Nikon DSLRs. I was hoping for deeper insights and a larger collection of tricks and special methods of using the sophisticated exposure and focus controls than the writer offers.
