Recently got a D3000, although the manual explained the camera, the D3000 Digital Field Guide completely surpassed the manual and any other book that I have read about DSLR’s. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has a D3000, it should be mandatory :) The book goes into great detail about the different settings that can be used with the camera, how to achieve certain photos and also has a glossary in the back if you don’t understand some of the photography words like me. The book also comes with a gray card and color checker and explains how to use it and the reasoning behind it. As a new mother I wanted to have professional looking photos of my baby and now I do, I didn’t have to pay someone else to achieve it either! Another great thing about the book is the size, you can take it with you on your photo taking adventures, it is easy to flip through and find which settings you should use to take amazing photos in any situation. Overall the book gets you ready and comfortable with your D3000. After reading it, you have the sense of excitement about taking photos, because you actually know what you are doing instead of just taking snapshots.

I first purchased the D3000 Field Guide by Thomas and found that almost half of the book was dedicated to general photography issues. The technical portion of the book was only fair and did not go into much detail (ie. in the manual mode it tells you how to change the shutter speed – move the Command Dial – but not the aperture). I was highly disappointed in the the book.
So I purchased the D3000 for Dummies and was amazed at the quality and amount of information it provides (ie. in the manual mode you have to hold down the exposure compensation button and then turn the Command Dial to change the aperture). The D3000 for Dummies hits all the basics and then goes well beyond the basics to really explain the potential of the D3000.
I would recommend the D3000 for Dummies over the D3000 Field Guide.

Package arrived ahead of time (arrived about 2 week earlier than what I expected). Arrived in good condition. The content of the book covered a lot of what I’ve been looking for.

We found the book to be very helpful and has more information about using the camera than the book provided by Nikon.

I received the book in less than a week.
Still learning to use the many functions on my new camera and the book has lots of good information.
Something I will refer back to many times. I just wish there were note cards that would fit in
my camera bag with basic quick functions listed on it. The camera itself has a built in funtion guide
programed into the memory but still would be nice to have small note cards.
All in all the book is very good. I’m loving being able to take pictures to a whole new level.
It’s great fun and very addicting, already purchased another lens and filter,(not to be my last)
and will buy more photo books soon.
