I have been a hobbyist photographer for several years and although I mainly shoot in Aperture Priority and Manual Mode, I know there is still a lot I do not know about my camera and I'm always looking for opportunities to learn more about photography. This was my first DSLR Guide so I wasn't sure what to expect. First of all there are almost 500 pages of content! David has done a REALLY great job of providing a resource for both new and seasoned photographers alike. The book starts out with the very basics of the D7200 but quickly begins to cover in detail every single button, feature and menu item on the camera (which in itself is an incredible feat). David provides his suggested settings and throughout the book and even tells you why he recommends them. There are photos and examples on almost every page of the book that illustrate the feature or show where on the camera that particular feature is found. So far I'm 1/2 way finished with the book. I've already learned a lot from this book and am excited to finish the rest of the book and learn about the features and settings that I am not as familiar with. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to any photographer!
I found this book to be the best purchase ever!!!! I determined what camera I was going to purchase first, then bought the book. I am a beginner when it comes to photography. I purchased a SLR digital camera several years ago and hated it. The quality of the pictures were terrible even using the automatic settings. I am hosting a German exchange student and decided I needed a new camera. I received the book and read most of the book and played very close attention to the section on recommended accessories that should be considered for purchase. The most important section to me was on lenses. I was able to determine the best starting lens for me was the AF-S DX ZOOM-NIKKOR F/3.5-5.6 G VR II. The book save me a lot of frustration, disappointment, and money by helping me make my decision on a lens before buying the camera. I was able to find a camera package that included this lens on from Cameta Camera.The book is easy to read and understand for a beginner like me. I have also purchased the following books; David Busch's Compact Field Guide for the Nikon D7200 and David Busch's Mastering Digital SLR Photography, Fourth Edition.
I don't actually enjoy writing reviews, which is why, out of the all-too-many items I buy on , I only come back to provide reviews when something is really bad, or really good. In the case of David Busch's D7200 book, it's the latter. Not only is this the best camera guide I have ever owned (and I started taking pictures in 1965), it is quite possibly one of the best product guide books I have ever owned. Logically arranged, clearly written, with just enough repetition (and no more) to keep you from flipping back and forth, this is a book I will be coming back to multiple times as I learn more about my D7200. One of my favorite features, beyond the simple clarity of his explanations of the many settings, is Busch's providing of recommendations for those settings, along with succinct rationales for his suggestions and advice on alternate choices. I also appreciate the careful editing: over the course of about 500 pages, I think I noted maybe 3 typos. Total. And if that doesn't impress you, you've never written an essay. ;-)
Good book. I have not read it cover to cover yet but I have found it helpful. Even though it is well written, for me, Nikon 7200 for Dummies was easier to follow. They are both worth tie price. In the evening you will find me in my recliner with my laptop in my lap along with my camera one of these two books. I take a lot of pictures of the TV while trying whats in the books. It is fun to take as many photos as you want trying different settings knowing that you can delete them and reuse the SD card over and over.
Bought this book the same week I got my D7200. Very detailed explanations in plain English. The other plus is the recommendations for different settings. I jumped from a D3200 to the D7200 and the added flexibility was a bit overwhelming. Much better explanations of how to set up the camera and to take advantage of the flexibility than what I could glean from the manual.
I had purchased the book by David Busch on the D3300 when I first started using that camera. Now that I've upgraded to the D7200 I knew I had to have this one. It's the best guide I've seen on the D7200. I highly recommend this book for anyone who needs to know just what their camera can do.
Really does go into the correct depth on how this camera works and how to use it to get your best results. Easy to understand explanations of how focus works and how lots of smaller items fit in to that. It just gives you greater confidence on how to correctly use your camera.
Rich in detail, sometimes "cut and paste" approach becomes obvious for those buying books for different models. Occasional editing inconsistencies, else very useful addition to a user unfriendly Nikon User Guide
