Tries to cover too much...:
This is an OK book, but not as focused as I was hoping. In addition to covering operation of the D60, it covers several topics more broadly related to digital photography including exposure, lighting, and more -- he could have written all this stuff for ANY camera... why waste chapters in a book about the D60??? Plus, it spends entire chapters just rephrasing stuff that is in the manual (a "tour" of the D60 is just page after page of pictures pointing out where all the various buttons, dials, etc. are...... more info
Nikon D60:
I owned a couple of nikons before which helped, but I still thought the information was well written and had terrific illustrations. The book made it even easier to use the camera.
D60 guide:
After wading through the skimpy Nikon manual for this excellent camera a few times, I bought the David Busch book.I was desperate for intelligent information.
The official manual was confusing, many references to other pages, badly written, and ineffective.
Busch should be complimented on his excellent book which is easy to follow, and contains many first class photographs of different parts of the camera in each chapter to clearly assist the reader.
I highly recommend this book to anyone... more info
Alternative to manual:
I recently bought the new Nikon D60 prior to travelling overseas. I lost the new manual during this travel. This book is better than the manual since it is written by a user who understands what is important and how to set up for those difficult shots you miss when travelling. Simple to read and good with the basics and also for those who want those special pictures.
