Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I’ve had my Nikon D3000 for several years and have been trying to learn how to use it correctly on my own. Buying this book was the best thing I’ve done to move forward with my camera. This book is helpful and easy to understand. Julie Adair King explains each feature of the camera in detail with great tips along the way. I’m so happy that I bought this book. I highly recommend it for anyone with this camera! Thank you Julie Adair King!

⭐I am new to digital photography and photography in general. After much research I decided to purchase the Nikon D3000. Upon making my purchase and pulling the camera out of the box, I was overwhelmed by all the knobs and buttons on the camera. The users guide which came with the camera really didn’t do a good job at explaining what the buttons were actually for and didn’t explain how to use them. I decided to purchase this book as well as a D3000 field manual (also form Amazon.com). I can honestly say I would be so lost with out this book. If you are going to buy just one book to help you understand the D3000 this one is it. The book is well written and explains everything this camera has to offer. I highly recommend purchasing this book if you want to learn how to use your new D3000.

⭐Having come from a point ‘n shoot to DSLR, this book has been invaluable! It is easy to read and you can jump around if you want. The text, font, size, and pictures are also accessible and easy on the eyes.Yes, it is simple for dummies, but this is a complicated piece of photography, so it will go into some detail- but without losing you in the process. You’ll get an education in photography as well as your camera.My camera would have been almost useless without this purchase!

⭐Very informative

⭐Very easy to follow. I highly recommend.

⭐Nice

⭐This is great! Went perfect with my daughter’s camera that she got.

⭐Nice book in almost new condition. Content easily understood. Pictures aid in demonstrating menus & settings.

⭐Having recently purchased a Nikon DSLR D3000, and wanting to get more from it than just using automatic modes, I set about to find a good book for complete DSLR beginners.I found this book to be written in easy to understand language, jargon is broken down so you can understand what it all means and gently pushes you along to want to take ‘creative control’ and just mess about with the settings, but understand the settings so you can begin to create the look you want.If you really are a complete beginner and have moved up from your point and click automatic to the world of DSLR, then I would recommend this book to you. If you already have a good idea what the settings are and know about fstops etc, then it might be a bit too basic and no doubt other publications that go into more technical details will be more appropriate.

⭐If you are a complete SLR novice, purchased the D3000 camera to take better pictures, but don’t know how to use the many features then you were just like me and this book is what you need.The American author takes you through a gradual learning curve, chapter by chapter, in a clear and logical manner. The colour pictures are extremely useful for demonstrating such areas as shutter speed and depth of field etc – things which I did not have a clue about before reading this book.A few weeks after buying this book I am now taking better photographs and in danger of looking like I know what I am doing! The Dummies series of books are great and this one has proven to be a very useful addition to the collection.

⭐excellent ,has helped tremendously

⭐interesting, useful book

⭐The dummies guide for the Nikon is an excellent guide book for new or not so new users of the Nikon. It is written in a non technical language but encompasses all the important facts that allow you to use the camera to its full effect. It is written for the young and not so young, experianced or not so experianced as all the Dummies guides are. Highly recommended for people who don’t know an F stop from a macros.
