Great Know-How Book

This book is a terrific guide to helping understand all the functions of the D70/D70s. The explanation is more understandable than the owner's manual. I think this is a must for all new users of the D70/D70s.
An outstanding book - highly recommended!

I have no idea what the previous reviewers are doing comparing this book to the owner's manual, much less calling it a "re-hash." I guess they must have received a different manual with their camera than I did. I found the stock manual to be poorly written, vague and epidermal at best. Crappy photos and illustrations. Way lame, especially for a $1G+ camera. This book features clear and concise explanations, outstanding photos, and a far more comprehensive and lucid discussion of camera technique and use of controls. Plus, the author is unafraid to chide Nikon for certain decisions and provides useful work-arounds to most challenges. I purchased the book a week before I received the D70 and, boy, I'm glad I did. You will be, too. Highly recommended and well worth the double-sawbuck!
Help for a complicated camera!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Finally got the help I needed. Maybe others think the instruction book that came with the D70 was fine, but I had problems figuring it all out. This guide really helped me and I highly recommend it. Mr. Stafford sure knows his stuff and adds lots of tips and hints and some things he does NOT recommend...all very useful. If you really want to understand how your camera works, this is the book to buy.
Excellent! Much better than the instruction manual.

The manual that came with the camera was impossilbe for me to understand. Thank heavens for this guide... I finally figured out how to operate the camera and what the different settings do. Maybe I need "remedial help" but this book certainly was worth the price. Love the camera too...thanks to the Magic Lantern.
