About the Author

With more than a million books in print, David D. Busch is the world's #1 selling digital camera guide author, and the originator of popular digital photography series like David Busch's Pro Secrets and David Busch's Quick Snap Guides. He has written more than a dozen hugely successful guidebooks for Nikon and Nikon digital SLR models, as well as many popular books devoted to dSLRs, including Mastering Digital SLR Photography, Second Edition, and Digital SLR Pro Secrets. As a roving photojournalist for more than twenty years, he illustrated his books, magazine articles, and newspaper reports with award-winning images. He's operated his own commercial studio, suffocated in formal dress while shooting weddings-for-hire, and shot sports for a daily newspaper and upstate New York college. His photos and articles have appeared in Popular Photography & Imaging, The Rangefinder, The Professional Photographer, and hundreds of other publications. He has also reviewed dozens of digital cameras for CNet and Computer Shopper, and his advice has been featured in National Public Radio's "All Tech Considered." When About.com named its top five books on Beginning Digital Photography, debuting at the #1 and #2 slots were Busch's Digital Photography All-In-One Desk Reference for Dummies and Mastering Digital Photography. During the past year, he's had as many as five of his books listed in the Top 20 of Amazon.com's Digital Photography Bestseller list--simultaneously! Busch's 120-plus other books published since 1983 include bestsellers like David Busch's Quick Snap Guide to Digital SLR Lenses. Visit his website at http://www.dslrguides.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great read Jan 19 2012
Format:Spiral-bound
This book fits great in my camera bag for reference in the field if I ever need it or I simply want to play and learn more about all the great functions of my D5100. Good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended Reference for D5100 Dec 28 2011
Format:Spiral-bound
What a pity Nikon could not commission David Busch to write the manual that is included with the Nikon D5100 (and likely for their other DSLR cameras as well)instead of the very deficient and badly composed version that they provide with the camera. This book provided more of what I expected of the manual in terms of information and format and promises to be an invaluable reference as I work my way through what is otherwise, an excellent camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Field Guide Aug 17 2011
By James Hood - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Spiral-bound
This book contains exactly the information I need when out shooting. I can quickly look up the author's advice on settings for particular shooting situations. He lists the most common subjects, such as outdoor sports, indoor sports, all purpose, stage performances, long exposures, HDR, portraits, landscapes, etc. in a chapter full of tables that show every single recommended setting for those situations. There are many other tables I found useful, and when you're away from home, the two chapters of descriptions of why you should select every menu option, and when to use it, is invaluable. When you don't need a lesson on photography, but just want a field guide to supply on the spot advice, this compact book is what you need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect companion Nov 4 2011
By Mike - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Spiral-bound|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the absolute necessity for your camera bag if you are shooting a D5100. The right information, easily reached, and lays flat when trying out experiments with the camera that has to many features for the casual photographer ! While I also have the complete Guide companion, that I've yet to finish, this is perfect when I need to research the one feature I could use in the instance when I don't remember the camera setting or switch. Well worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great manual! Jan 24 2012
By davesnothere - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Spiral-bound|Amazon Verified Purchase
Great manual. It's what Nikon should have included with the camera. Clear,concise, and thorough description of the functions and settings for the D5100. Provides a better explanation of many functions than Nikon did with the product manual.
