Top notch - By: Londoner, 27 Aug 2008 
This book does exactly what it says on the cover, takes you through all the functions (with easy to see colour pictures)), working with light, exposure, photographing different subjects, etc. It explains your Nikon D40 & all of the features, I cannot recommend this highly enough. Between this & the Ken Rockwell website I have learnt so much about the D40.
Great - By: Mr. G. R. Mustion, 03 Jul 2008 This book tell you all you need to know when starting out with the Nikon D40in an easy & comprehensive way unlike the original confusingly laid out manual. Additionally this book give good photo taking techniquesin a variety of situations. Nice!
for newcomers - By: Estelle, 15 May 2008 This book is brilliant if you are new to DSLR photography & the manual that comes with the camera confuses you-like it did me! I have learnt so much & have already been practising with it. Things have made sense & I have to reread it to then put it into practice, i can see me taking this book on holiday & not the manual!
Excellent Read - By: Mr. J. Wilson, 14 May 2008 This is one of several books I have bought, & it is by far the best. Not only does it explain what all the camera controls do, but also why you use them. Also included are sections on exposure, lenses, using the flash & basic composition. It then goes on to cover how to compose & shoot different types of photos, including action shots, animals, landscapes & taking photos at night. All of this is presentedin a very clear readable style & is accompanied by detailed colour photos throughtout. A thorough & compelling guide to the D40/D40x which I would highly recommend.
Enjoyable and useful - By: happy chappie, 03 Apr 2008 Compared to the standard D40 user guide this book is an enjoyable & well thought out publication. Each chapter is well laid out & the whole book leads you through the actions to take & things to learn on how to get the best from this camera. I haven't read a book for a long time but I just can't put this guide down.
If you have a D40 or D40X I'd highly recommend this great value book to help you get the most out of the camera.
