Customer Review: Wouldn’t call it a “field guide” but….
A most excellent book. I agree with the other reviewer that said this should come with the camera(grammar is much better here:)). Well put together and has an intellectual flow. Paper is a bit weird, but my guess that is just so the photos look better. All in all, a great buy!!!
Customer Review: Excellent introduction and reference tool!
The D60 field guide is an absolute must have for anyone who has a D60 and is new to DSLR photography. If you are not new to DSLR, I would still recommend getting yourself a copy anyway as it serves as an excellent reference tool. I anxiously awaited the release of this guide after I got a D60 in May. While I waited for its release I used various resources on the internet to familiarize myself with the camera and learn important basics for DSLR photography. Although I was fairly successful on my own, this book would have saved me hours of researching and frustration (not to mention an entire set of photos from the zoo that came out terribly grainy). Overall, the book does a wonderful job introducing the user to the features and functions of the D60. Also, it is intuitively organized and presents information in a way that makes sense (unlike the user’s manual which I find equally as useful as the spanish version that came with the camera too). For the novice, a first read through will answer a great deal of the seemingly infinite amount of questions that one may have starting out with DSLR and the D60. For the intermediate to experienced user, the book will prove to be a handy reference guide for specific types of photography. I keep the book in my backpack wherever I go to take shots and I find that most of the time there are a few pages specifically dedicated to explaining tips and techniques on how to approach and shoot the exact type of photos that I am trying to take. The full color examples with a brief discussion of how to achieve the same are extremely helpful as a starting point for a specific type of shot.

Customer Review: Excellent reference
Excellent guide - especially in conjunction with your user manual - or if you don’t have a user manual at all. The Magic Lantern Guides are clearly written. You can go from beginning to end or just by the certain sections for what you need.
