Product Description
Mastering the Nikon D300 by Nikonian Darrell Young provides a wealth of information and professional insights for owners of this powerful new camera. Each chapter explores the features and capabilities of the D300 in detail, surpassing basic user manuals by providing step-by-step menu setting adjustments coupled with illustrations and logical explanations for each option. Darrell Young's writing style allows the reader to follow directions in a friendly and informative manner, as if a friend dropped in to share his experienced knowledge without "talking down" to you, explaining the how and the why. The learning experience for D300 beginners (and refresher information for professionals) goes beyond the camera itself. When camera features and options expand to additional Nikon equipment (such as with the use of optional Speedlights) Darrell adds the necessary information. Young's frequent references to user manuals provided by Nikon (complete with specific page references) allow the reader to easily navigate past the "confusion factor" that often comes with new equipment. Mastering the Nikon D300 is the inaugural title kicking off the Nikonians Press imprint "the exciting, new joint venture between Nikonians and Rocky Nook.

This is my third book on the D300. This is the best. Rather than just re-hash the help file and the menus, this book teaches why the camera does things the way it does. I don't need another book to tell me the commands to use, for example, Live View. Instead, I need a book that acts as the instructor sitting over my shoulder, telling me when and why to use Live View. The explanations are clearly written and easy to understand. This book is a keeper.

Nikon D300 - The Nikon Way to Go! December 25, 2008

I have just purchased the Nikon D300 (upgrade from my D50). The stock manual kind of intimidated me a bit. I went searching online for an easier and faster way to master the D300. There were quite a few options, but I am glad I made the decision to purchase Darrell Young's book. Easy reading, colorful images, step-by-step menus, and one of the most important features: his personal experience transmitted in a friendly way. No other "manual" you will find this. I have just started reading and I can tell that I will quickly be able to master my new Christmas Toy, my D300! A must have tool if you are taking your D300 serious.
Love it! December 24, 2008

The book is wonderfully written and loaded with practical advice. Best of the best! Thanks Darrell! Minor complaint: the font is so tiny, you need a magnifying glass to read it.
Best D300 Book I've Ever Read! December 24, 2008
Having struggled with the OEM manual like many, I have found Darrell's book both a sound and witty reference that capture the enthusiasm all Nikon users embrace. I can even use AF properly now too! Thanks for the many hours spent on getting this book in our hands, Darrell. I look forward to your future references as I progress into the FX format.
