An excellent resource for the D5100 ownerBy pm444First of all. ignore the "For Dummies" part of the title. as this book is aimed at users ranging from beginners to those with some experience. and its certainly not written for dummies. It is one of several excellent books that focus specifically on the Nikon D5100. Each has its strengths. and in this case. the book offers many color photos showing the cameras controls and menu screens along with a wealth of helpful information. It is well organized. the author goes into a lot of detail. and she presents the material in a way that allows the reader to quickly find just what he or she is looking for. Then. if you want to go further. the information is there.For me. this has become my go-to reference manual for the D5100. It has a very good index. so when I want more information on a certain topic. its easy to find. I usually find additional information that adds to my understanding of the camera. and photography in general.I have not worked through this book in a systematic way. as I have with Rob Sylvans book Nikon D5100: From Snapshots to Great Shots. but instead I use it as a supplement. In fact. these two books make a great combination. Sylvan presents his material almost like a course. starting out with basic concepts and building up to more complex ones. while King covers each topic in detail from the beginning. I certainly refer to this one often enough that I would not want to be without it.31 of 31 people found the following review helpful. How the User manual ought to beBy ColininOzI was disappointed that Nikon only provided a very basic printed user manual for this excellent just above entry level DSLR camera. The full information is supplied on a CD - which is fine if you want to take a laptop with you on early shoots and keep referring back to it. This book is easy to read. with a few little humorous asides. and covers all the bases - both for beginner and the more experienced not so dumb reader. Very well illustrated too. Decent index. The lady knows how to teach as well as how to shoot images. Recommended.39 of 40 people found the following review helpful. Great Book for D5100 BeginnersBy LitiGatorI have owned my D5100 for several months now and have read numerous books/manuals for this camera. and in my opinion. this is the best book for individuals new to the D5100 and DSLR cameras in general. There are other highly rated books that. while informative. are more complex/detailed and better suited to more experienced photographers. As someone new to photography. there is an overwhelming amount of information available. and it is easy to get bogged down in the details. This book cuts to the chase. is organized in an easy to read format and will help you get up to speed on the ins and outs of the D5100 quickly.
