Book Reviews of Nikon D50 Digital Field Guide
Book Review: Excellent substitute for the D50 manual
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this because the D50 is my first foray into the DSLR world. The manual that comes with the D50 whilst comprehensive is confusing. What I wanted was something a bit more practical which could tell me, for example, what bracketing was and when to use it. I also wanted to know more about some of the other features that might be peculiar to the camera. Did you know that the D50's autofocus won't work on lenses slower than f5.6? No me neither. It also talks a bit about accessories and why you might want them. It describes which flash attachments work and what the difference is between front and rear curtain sync. It really is a five star book for that sort of thing. The only reason I haven't rated it 5 stars is that I just think it is maybe a bit thin on the Field Guide element. I does have a lot of detail on using it for different situations i.e. wildlife or portraits etc but it is really a bit too basic. Maybe I'm being unfair because whilst this is an extremely useful book, it will be redundant when Nikon replace the D50 with something else. As a result it is perhaps wrong to expect it to combine too much information on photographic technique. For that I can't recommend "Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera by Bryan Peterson" enough. It is well worth the 6 week wait when buying it on Amazon.
All in all, any newcomer to the Nikon range and digital SLR photography in particular, will definitely get a lot of really useful stuff from this book.
