- Just read the manual, nothing new here
Can't really recommend to anyone with any earlier experience with digital SLR's...perhaps for beginners purchasing D300 as their first DSLR? On the other hand, D300 is not really aimed for that target group.
Two stars for beginner book...0-1 starts for anyone else.
Number of clear errors in text. Lot of very general information of photography. Hardly any useful D300 information, that is not easily found from the Nikon D300 manual. Good basis for writing same kind of book from ... Read More

- Nikon D300 Camera body
I found this camera very easy to opporate, even with many multi-function buttons. Havingused a F3 for most of the last 20 years and a D50 for the last couple. Everthing just felt normal and well built. I also purchased the battery pack, as I pefer to use AA batteries to power the camera. I'm more than happy with the purchase and expect this camera to last me for many years to come.
I'm experimenting with the various formats (currently RAW) and having a blast using the different features ... Read More

- Better than any tutorial DVD.
As mentioned elsewhere, I am in the process of converting from film to digital photography and there are certain aspects which I have found quite daunting. Altogether, I have purchased several books and tutorial DVDs on the subject as that process of conversion continues and this product is one of the best.
Having already worked my way through this particular title (with camera in hand) I found this particular book was able to provide instruction which was far superior to any of the tutorials ... Read More
Rating: - Digital Field Guide Nikon D300
This guide is little more than camera manual, too brief and skimpy on detail. Much of the contense are devoted to telling me about how to be a photographer rather than helping me be better aquainted with my new camera. The author frequently describes non Nikon equipment as he wanders through topics like poritature, landscapes and sporting shots.

- Less than 1/2 the book is D300 specific
The rest of the book is generic photography 101 material.I was disappointed.The book lacks depth on the D300 features and capabilities.I recently received and read David Busch's D300 book and it is much more in-depth and has very little generic photography 101 in it.
This "field guide" will be discarded in favor of David Busch's D300 guide.
