Reviews
This is the 3rd David Busch compact camera guide I've bought. I do like the the way he organizes and explains the camera features and have never found them to be be boilerplate versions of general photography books. Granted, some things will apply to all cameras regardless of make or model but I always find instructions and explanations specific to whatever camera I'm trying to learn.In the case of the Nikon D7200, I found the photography section (particularly the item-by-item camera set up instructions) point on, clear, and well-explained. I might or might not go with his particular choice but, at least, I understand the implications of going another way. I am used to still photography and understand what I'm choosing when I choose most settings.In respect to the video part of the instructions I found that section less clear. Granted, it is not something I have ever had to do or make decisions about. As of now, I still haven't set those preferences or used that function of my camera. I'm still using a separate video camera to take videos when I need to. I don't find this part as easy to understand as the photography section, but that's probably my fault because I don't grasp the benefits or consequences of one setting over another. I've had the camera for 3 months and haven't taken a single video.
