Nikon D5000 For Dummies August 8, 2010
Ralph Magarian
I find this book very informative for such a complex subject. It helped me immeasurably. I only wish they would come out with " Nikon D5000 For Idiots" to make it even more simple.

Love this book - it give me the answers I need, quickly and in easy terms. I am just starting out as a "photographer" after using a point and shoot for about a year. The D5000 was a big jump and investment. This book is clear, easy to follow and has great tips from beginning to end. Just sit down with your camera, go through page by page and have patience. Beautiful shots are just around the corner...learning how to get 'em is easier than ever now.

I've been using a 35mm rangefinder film camera for over 40 years and finally bought my first digital camera (and first SLR), the Nikon D5000. I needed a book that would not make any assumptions about what I knew or didn't know. I bought King's Dummies book and Thomas's Field Guide. King's book is far superior: It lays out what you need to know in layers, beginning with the absolute basics, is well-organized, and never assumes that you know more about photography than you do. Thomas's book is poorly organized, the first half (on the D5000 in particular) is little more than a glorified user manual, with lists of what each button does but little or no explanation of why you'd want to use them, and the second half is a general intro to photography. Worse, Thomas's book is obviously a bad cut-and-paste from other books he's written, because it has false information about the D5000 (it has no LCD window on the top, for instance, though Thomas claims that it does).

A great simple, straight to the point, easy to understand book covers all the basics. Although the camera comes with a printed manual (yes, actual paper and not electronic), this book does a great job covering all the basics and where to find them in your camera. It also discusses which settings are more important to play with and which can be left to run on Auto (the camera has 1645 possible controls so this information is invaluable). Covers the basics for artistic creation as well. Between this book to learn to operate the camera and the Ken Rockwell site ([...]) is all you need to cover all the basics.
