Nikon D750: From Snapshots to Great Shots

This book is a great source for getting started with your Nikon D750. It has some great tips on getting the camera set up, such as warning you to change the default setting that lets you appear to be taking pictures even though there is no memory card in the camera to save them. Unlike an oweners manual, this book tells you why you want to use a feature, not just how to use it. It covers popular topics like portraits and landscapes. Mr. Sylvan, a professional photographer, gives inciteful tips and illustrations on how the features of this camera come into play when taking portraits, etc. I found it easy to understand and it is not overly taxing to read from cover to cover. It is not an exhaustive book on the D750 and does not purport to be. If you're going to spend $2,000 on a camera, you want to get the most out of it. This book will help most amateurs quickly realize more of the potential of this fine camera, especially if you do not have experience with a recent Nikon DSLR.
