This book, completely revamped with six brand new chapters for this latest edition, is an introduction to digital SLR photography, with nuts-and-bolts explanations of the technology, more in-depth coverage of settings, and whole chapters on the most com- mon types of photography. While not specific to the D7000, this book can show you how to get more from its capabilities.

Digital SLR Pro Secrets

This is my more advanced guide to dSLR photography with greater depth and detail about the topics you’re most interested in. If you’ve already mastered the basics in Mastering Digital SLR Photography, this book will take you to the next level.

Family Resemblance

If you’ve owned previous models in the Nikon digital camera line, and copies of my books for those cameras, you’re bound to notice a certain family resemblance. Nikon has been very crafty in introducing upgraded cameras that share the best features of the models they replace, while adding new capabilities and options. You benefit in two ways. If you used a Nikon D90 prior to switching to the latest D7000 model, you’ll find that the parts that haven’t changed have a certain familiarity for you, making it easy to make the transition to the newest model. There are lots of features and menu choices of the D7000 that are exactly the same as those in the most recent models, or even “big sib- lings” like the D300s. This family resemblance will help level the learning curve for you.

Similarly, when writing books for each new model, I try to retain the easy-to-under- stand explanations that worked for previous books dedicated to earlier camera models, and concentrate on expanded descriptions of things readers have told me they want to know more about, a solid helping of fresh sample photos, and lots of details about the latest and greatest new features. Rest assured, this book was written expressly for you, and tailored especially for the D7000.

Who Are You?

When preparing a guidebook for a specific camera, it’s always wise to consider exactly who will be reading the book. Indeed, thinking about the potential audience for David Busch’s Nikon D7000 Guide to Digital SLR Photography is what led me to taking the approach and format I use for this book. I realized that the needs of readers like you had to be addressed both from a functional level (what you will use the D7000 for) as well as from a skill level (how much experience you may have with digital photography, dSLRs, or Nikon cameras specifically).
