I bought and read 3 books titled with Nikon D5200. I have never considered myself as a "Dummy" or an "Idiot" so those type book titles never appealed to me. However after reading the first 3 books and still not sure how to use my $1000+ toy I was beginning to wonder if maybe I was ????? ... so... I ordered this one for dummies. This lady is a teacher!!! Best laid out and executed instructional book on any subject I have ever read. Book is on quality paper, full of instructional pictures (worth a 1000 words) and the author anticipated my needs and questions. There is a difference between knowing how to operate a camera and how to "use" a camera (I figured out the left-right arrows, scrolling, and selecting stuff all by myself in less than 5 min) this is all the other books dealt with, endless pages of sequence button pushing. By using this book I learned how to "use" my camera, not just "operate" it. Don't waste your time or money with the other rewrites of the owners manual, this is an Excellent book, Ms King is to be congratulated!!

Very useful book and easy to understand. Unfortunately some of the instructions given in the book do not mach with the D5200 controls. This means that those parts have been copied from another models guide book and the write didnt check it they are still valid for D5200. Therefore I cannot give full points. Still, this book gives all the basics. Now I want to find another manual with more precise and more advanced information. Any suggestions?

I am just starting to delve deeper into DSLR photography, and bought this book along with my camera after reading reviews of other D5200 guides. I have to agree with the majority of reviewers and give this book 5 stars. It is an excellent guide that will help you to make sense of all the buttons and features on the D5200. It is well written, easy to understand, and has an excellent index for quick reference. It takes a somewhat intimidating load of information and breaks it down into usable pieces. I don't think I could have gotten such a good start with my new camera without this book.

I am a newcomer to SLR cameras, and thought I would treat myself to the Nikon D5200. I found this book to be an absolutely marvelous introduction to my new camera. It covers the broad array of camera functions clearly and also explains the basics of camera lenses and photo editing software. I would recommend this as a first stop for anyone new to SLR photography.

This taught me soooo much! I took notes while I was reading through here & in my notes I refferenced what page # that was in the book that way if I ever forget what I learned I can just go back through my notes!! This book is AMAZING she really took her time to explain things in great detail!!! I have started a small photography gig on the side now that I know how to use my camera I'm getting some amazing pics!!! Great Buy!!!!

Great book makes learning your camera much easier. Offers you the technical term along side the it's laymen explanation. If you need to know anything about the Nikon D5200 this is the book for you. Don't suffer trying to understand the manual if you've never had a photography class you'll struggle with the terms. No more of that. Enjoy it and buy knowing you'll be using your camera like a pro.

I have more than one reference for the camera and this is by far the easiest to find answers in. Other books seem to bury answers in verbose descriptions and this one generally makes the answer clear and then adds more explanation later. Really a good resource for anyone who is not a pro.

Great book for learning your way around the D5200. It contains so much more information than the user manual that comes with the camera. Easy to understand and great for beginners. I've long been a fan of the Dummies book series. In spite of the name this book will make you smarter about the D5200 in no time.
