Summary: Not as useful as I would have liked
Comment: The book serves as a minor re-introduction to photography. I minored in photography in college, but have let the hobby slip since losing my equipment many years ago. I got a digital camera some years ago, and was frustrated by the lack of control over the image. I finally moved back into SLRs by purchasing a D60 (which I love.)

This book was a brief re-introduction to basic settings, but shows no real comparative results between the various settings, as a previous reviewer had already mentioned. There is SOME usefull information in this book, but none of it unique to this particular camera. General information about aperture and speed control can be gotten from better general books. Don't bother buying this one.

Summary: Not enough detail
Comment: What is needed in a book of this type is a lot of detailed information on variations of settings and examples of what effect on the pictures changing the multiple different settings would have. This would take a lot of the trial and error out of working with a complicated new camera and shorten and simplify the learning curve by detailed suggestions of settings in various situations. Unfortunately, this book fails to do this and mostly comes across as an expanded version of the owner's manual. There is very little detailed information given on the various settings and even the pictures and examples given do not have details of what settings were used. I found the book to be mildly helpful in familiarizing me with various settings and options, but poorly helpful in giving suggestions or examples to get me off to a fast start. I am left with learning by trial and error, something a book like this should help you to avoid.
