Nikon D40 For Dummies
Today I came across a decent camera book while browsing the shelves of my local Barnes and Noble. I’m kind of a book fanatic and typically I’ll just go online to buy at a discount, but today I happened to have a little extra time so I headed right over the Photography Books section.
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m real sucker for any how-to book. I’ve always been. In fact, the simpler, the better! If I see a book on the shelf that thicker than an inch, I’ll likely steer clear of it no matter what the title.
In any regard, and I really hate to admit this, but I’ve always loved the Dummies series of books. I mean afterall even the title is a bit humiliating and if you drag one of these up to the checkout counter, you’d prefer keeping it hidden until it is paid for. Right?
The reality is that they are really practical books that get straight to the point without having to read the riff-raf in between. Typically they give me enough detail to get started and if I have further questions I then go online and do some research.
Luckily enough, I came across a camera book titled “Nikon D40/D40x For Dummies”. My jaw dropped because there were very few books devoted to individual camera models. Most are too general and vague. I quickly scanned the first two chapters of this book (scanning the content was easy) and within half and hour I learned more about my new Nikon D40 that I had learned from the user manual or the six hours of classes that I had already taken.
If you are interested in learning more about your camera, be sure to look for any book devoted to your specific camera model. They can provide a wealth of information that could save you a ton of time. I recommend the the For Dummies books if you can find one for your camera.
