Title: Mandatory "equipment" in my classes
Product review: I teach classes in SLR photography, and when students ask for a recommendation for an inexpensive, full-featured camera, I point them towards the Nikon D50. Not all of them go ahead and buy it, of course, and many of the students already have a DSLR. But for those who do own this entry-level Nikon camera, I strongly recommend that this book be the first "accessory" they buy. If they have a Canon Digital Rebel or Nikon D70s instead, I recommend the other two Digital Field Guides in this series.While the basic usage information about the cameras is good, I haven't found a better brief introduction to photo basics than these books. Those students who use the Digital Field Guides for a few weeks (before we get into more advanced techniques) seem to do much better than those who "go it alone." You can't go wrong with any of these three books.
