What Readers are Saying about Doug Klostermann’s dSLR User’s Guides:

Brilliant – just what I was looking for! A manual that was exciting, clear to follow, had examples and was used by a professional who gave just the right amount of technical info with explanations of why you use those settings, when to use those settings and so on…all properly explained. Doug’s book is a joy to follow, well thought through and well written. The camera company should be employing Doug to write their cameras manuals!
-Robert D.

A Must-Have Accessory – What a great addition to my bag. This is a well written, full body of work that explains, in plain English, how to get the most out of my new camera. Doug provides the knowledge and experience to bring you to the next level. I look forward to learning more every time I open the book.
-Steven

Definitely reduces the slope of the learning curve to an easy gradient – I found that it was easy to read and understand, full of important hints and suggestions and allowed me to get to grips with the tools available in the camera in a very short time indeed. Excellent value!
-O.B.

It’s the first guide I’ve read which has taken me through all the settings in an understandable way. I now feel that I have control over the camera.
-Peter S.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get a quick start to using their camera. Manuals are nice, but this e-book highlights the important information and gives a quick easy to understand explanation of most all of the functions and controls.
-Ray M.

This e-book is helping me actually understand the camera at my own pace, and best of all is that the book isn’t hard to understand. It’s a great book that I carry on my iPad wherever I take my camera.
-I.M.E. 

Really Focuses on the “Why” – I found the (camera’s) manual good for understanding how to set things up but not much on the why – this book really focuses on the “why.” The guide helped me understand why to use specific settings for specific needs. The Custom Settings sections helps to make firm decisions on how to apply settings by understanding the usage of each in addition to knowing how to set them up. I would like to thank you for saving me time – now I’m confident that my camera is well tuned!
-Benoit A.

This manual is a clearly written, concise and useful explanation of the rationale for the seemingly infinite and often confusing settings options. Used in conjunction with the (camera’s) manual I feel a bit more confident in understanding how to at last proceed in getting better photographs.
-W.L.S.

This book, together with the manual that came with your camera, is all you need to start discovering all the potential of this camera.
-Max M.

It’s clear, concise and gets to the heart of the camera’s multiple and often confusing options. Very highly recommended – for experienced user and beginner alike. The official manual is very good on what to do, but not so clear on why. Perhaps Nikon should just hire Doug to write their manuals – it would be so much simpler for all concerned!
-G.S.A.

Quite a Helpful Book – It is a great foundational teaching on the camera and was a lot of help in getting me comfortable with the controls. I also found the personal experiences and thoughts shared by the author to be quite helpful. I have recommended and will continue to do so.
-J.S.B. 

It really made using the camera very simple – I also liked the fact that it is in pdf format, which means I can keep it on my iPhone or iPad while I’m out in the field. The price is right, the product is sound and most of all, the information is useful.
-Michael M.

Excellent Learning Jump Start – The book and author do not disappoint. There are so many helpful and practical tips shared and in terms I can understand as a novice.
-Cathryn C.

Amazing! – Great and easy to understand and very complete. Very highly recommended. The guy REALLY knows what he’s talking about.
-P.M.

Awesome Book – Bought this book right after I got the camera – was the best decision I made. It shows the key points of setting up and taking images with the camera. I am a novice when it comes to dSLR’s and I still felt this book helped me a ton. Would highly recommend it to anyone.
