Customer Reviews

Great DVD intro/step by step
I really enjoyed this as it was a video and you grab your D200 and follow along and for me this was better than reading how to do things but that is my preference but the person on the video was very knowledgable and they covered the camera very well.

Decent explanation of the D200
Warning, This is a beginners guide. I bought it, because it would teach my partner, how to get the most from the D200.
It gave a decent explanation of the basic photographic workings, like depth of field. It did the job better than I ever could, because she could rewind and see it again. I don't have the patience to do it.
For the more advanced photographer it is almost useless.
Anyway, my partner found the camera too heavy and decided on the D40.
Overall...good for the uninitiated, but for the techies it is old hat.

Very helpful and well arranged.
The DVD was fantastic. The instruction was very well organized and it focused on the most important features of the camera. They didn't just talk about the D200, they talked about photography basics as well. If you're a pro it might not be the best DVD for you because they do spend a lot of time teaching techniques to taking better pictures using the D200
