Lots of camera information for Nikon digital SLR users.
East to read.

Read this prior to properly using my new Nikon D60, and did feel at times like I was reading French rather than a camera manual! However, I do feel the book is very informative, and will make much more sense once I get to grips with how my camera works. A bit more practical demonstration would have been great.

Information dense but not enough practical application instruction for me. He made a bunch of good recommendations but I need to know exactly how to execute them.
