 Just a Rehash - Not Worth the Money December 11, 2008

I was not impressed with this book. It is really a general photography book that happens to have information on the D50. Here's what I did not like:
1. Many of the diagrams pointing to camera features used black lines pointing to a black camera body and it was impossible to even tell what button was being pointed out.
2. When explaining camera features and options, the same "lingo" from the camera menu itself was used. Just repeating menus is useless and pointless. Users want to know what a menu item means, not just what the word is.
3. The portions of the book dealing with the camera are totally unorganized. A user wants to know, "How do I do X, or Y or Z?" The book simply runs through button menus and there is very little context of the meaning of the menus.
Very little thought went into this book. I think the publisher takes a general photography book, adds some pages for each different camera, and then titles it "Nikon D50 Guide" etc. Don't waste your money. There is nothing in here that isn't in the Nikon manual, even though that manual is also poorly written.

I love the way the author walk me through on using the D50 by Nikon and his tips on photography was more than I expect on book about a camera. In fact the author inspired me to work harder with the camera and gave me wonderful ideas on using the camera.
 Keep the Manual but Buy This Book Too! May 6, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The D50 was my third DSLR after two Canons...a 10D and a 300D. I got this Nikon D50 and immediately liked it better than the Canons. So much so that I've already upgraded to a D70s, sold it and upgraded again to the D80. Now I'm looking for a good deal on the D300.
But, back to the D50 Field manual (which I sold with the D50). Good book, clear text and nice slick pages and color photos. Sure it talks a lot to generic DSLR photography but it also addresses specific functions of the D50 in great detail. Did I like it ...yeah! How much? Well...I'm waiting for my D80 Field manual to arrive and if I ever get the D300, well I'll probably get a Field manual for it too!! This is a Good Buy!!!

The "Nikon D50 Digital Field Guide" is more than just that it is a D50 owners necessity. This will easily explain how digital images taken specifically with your D50 gives insight to the menues and electronic functions of the D50.

Why do manufacturers of such splendid kit as the D50 supply such impenetrable manuals? It wasn't until I bought the D50 Field Guide that I was able to fathom and use many useful features. Excellent and heartily recommended. A bit big for my back pocket, but you can't have everything!
