  • Great manual for the Nikon D850.
The author is a veteran Nikon user and expert. He covers just about everything I could want to know, and in a readable conversational style. There are sections for novices that Nikon vets can skip. I liked his comments covering many of the Nikkor lenses one might be tempted to purchase. The manual is HEAVY. That’s why it is complete! I also have the official Nikon D850 manual (it is worth having as well) but this “third party” is well worth the price in my opinion. ... show more

Still reading all the information, full of suggestions and tips.

  • Informative Read for Nikon D850
Nothing to dislike. This book not only covers Nikon’s D850, but provides simple, intelligent and insightful DSLR photography suggestions.

  • EXCELLENT Information and Presentation
The material in the book is excellent, complete and easy to follow. I don't think there's a thing missing. Pictures are in color, sharp, clear and easy to see. I have nothing negative to say about what the author did in delivering his message. GREAT JOB ! ! ! I DO have a couple of suggestions that apply to this book and all other books I've seen, and perhaps it's only because of my own particular situation.... but I don't think so. First, I wish the print size was a little larger to make things easier to read for those of us who need larger print; perhaps a large-print edition???? Second, and this is something I'd like to see in all manual-type books of this type, would be for the books to be spiral bound so you could fold over the pages and keep the book open to the pages you're looking at while working with the camera. It's most annoying for creatures like us with two arms to deal with books like this that don't let you leave them open and fiddle with the controls on the camera at the same time. I give the book FIVE stars for the material in it, and two stars for the physical aspect of the book. ... show more

  • As usual, David Busch provides us with the go-to guide for this new camera
Once again, David Busch has provided us with his insight and wisdom on this newest Nikon offering. I have had Busch's manuals for the other Nikon cameras I have owned and this volume does not disappoint. I am pleased that he has removed basic photography information that I found in his past manuals. In the D850 guide he has focused on the camera -- a change that I support. Someone here requested that an author -- maybe David -- hone in on a "What's New" volume. Nikon has really provided us with a boatload of nifty new features and options with the D850 and I would love for a book that delves into these exclusively. It might be that David could define a "fast track" through this volume that would take us through the book chapter by chapter with indications of what is new for this area, have any controls/menus changed, has David changed any of his usual recommendations based on a new feature, and so forth. Overall, David is the source I turn to whenever I have purchased a new Nikon digital camera. I embrace his clarity and writing style. He is my go-to guy when my camera does something strange, or when the result was not what I intended. Almost always I can find what I am looking for in his guide. My only, very minor, complaint concerns the index. I found it to be a bit less complete or robust as his previous books. The index is absolutely essential in books of this sort and a more thorough one is always welcome! Thank you, David, for exceeding my expectations with this volume. I can certainly recommend this book as the one you need to purchase if this new camera has made it's way into your life! ... show more

  • The Gold Standard
This is by far the gold standard of D850 guides. The D850 is the most complex camera I have ever owned - after using film cameras for many years, I started digital photography with the D40, and have progressed upward as Nikon has improved their products, with the D750 being my most recent. The D850 is an order of magnitude more complex, with capabilities I never dreamed of in my more than 50 years of photography. I purchased a different book to help me with the D850, and was disappointed in the level of explanation it provided. I had some experience with David Busch's books in the past, so I bought the Kindle version when it became available. This is an excellent book, and I recommend it highly. Not only does it provide very good detailed advice on the various settings, and the best ways of utilizing the camera under differing circumstances, it also provides a great deal of explanation of many of the finer points of digital camera design and engineering. Understanding some of these things has helped me be a better photographer. ... show more
