[113] I bought this book along with the one for the Canon R5/R6. I wanted to compare the usage and ergonomics of each before deciding which to purchase. David.always gives clear and factual information that really helped in my selection. Definitely recommend getting the book. 5

[5 x 4.8 x 0.1"] I was a newspaper photographer in 70's and 80's got out when digital was coming in. I recently went back to work for a newspaper and this book has really helped get me back up to speed. I still have aways to go, but i will take this book every step of the way. 5

[0.05 lb] Useful tips on how to make sure I don't lose data. 5

[Retail Box] David Busch‘s books are a constant companion whenever I switch from one camera to another. This time I switched from D850 to Z7 II. I know Nikon since decades, but David does it for me. He explains things immediately. I don’t have to try it out first. It saves you a lot of time and on top of that there is always something you didn’t even know you can do. 5

[0.05 lb] Covers features & generic techlology & loads more. Practical insights, great 'best uses', & loads of useful recommendations. The style is pleasant, & the text is well diagrammed & has many pix to demonstrate the ideas. The depth covers more than the OEM User Manual & the Chapter on Custom Settings (12) is worth the price of the book. 5

[113] Scott Kelby does an excellent job in presenting the material in a work flow process format after he gives a brief introduction to the books flow. I am new to Lightroom 6 and am using a PC. After reading the first chapter and looking at the table of contents, I jumped right in and made edits to my first .nef photo. I am certain that I have much to learn and will follow up on reading the book in its entirety. 5

[113] No matter your skill or experience level, John's book is a great read and guide. His writing style explains techniques in ways pretty much anyone will grasp. For the Professionals out there it has little memories that might jog you. Enjoy and thank-you John and Ken. 5
