Just ordered Nikon D7000 from Best Buy and am really excited. Havea a Nikon D90 (which I'll keep as backup). What book on the D7000 did u find most helpful? Is there a lot different in the 7000 from the 90?
Nikon D7000, From Snapshots to Great Shots by John Battdorf, its a great book.

David Busch's Nikon D7000 is very informative, and a good read. Also, there are many YouTube instructional videos that are quite helpful.

I've gotten several, and there was one I did not like. The author kept saying, "Refer to page xxx in your manual." If I wanted to read the manual, I would read the manual. I didn't want to keep two books nearby so I could read one. I don't know what D7000 book that was, but another member might know. Also, when you read descriptions of the books, that feature might be mentioned.

Nikon manuals are pure rubbish. If I have a question and am directed to page 34 and then 5 sentences later am told to go to page 58 and I read 8 more sentences later am told to go to page 145 etc. If Nikon can make a quality camera they sure as hell could find someone to write a comprehensive manual with info in the same place rather than having you go to 5 different spots to get an answer. This is true if you buy a $100 Nikon or a $3000 Nikon, same crap just different manuals. This is my only complaint about Nikon so I guess all and all that's not bad. I bought "Nikon D7000 for Dummies" which is very easy to understand but gets a little wordy---I'm going to check out the book suggested by Darrel Young and see how that fares. Don't really need it anymore but one can always pick up something new it seems..............

The series "From Snapshots to Great Shots" are really fine books. I highly recommend them.

I agree about the Nikon manual, Darrel's book is wonderful.
