"Photography for the people" is how the ads read for the NikonF5-the perfect blend of toughness, simple use, and the latest technology. Problem is, F5 has far more features than most owners know what to do with. Chris Weston's years of F5 mastery demystifies the camera's features, translating its technical jargon into terms most photographers already know. Detailed descriptions of functions and features are accompanied by a chart that describes and defines each part. The basic functions of focusing and exposure, including autoexposure, get a complete, photo-filled chapter. So do each of the F5's flashes and lenses, as well as all available accessories. Best of all: you-are-there depictions of outdoor weather challenges and indoor shooting sessions with unpredictable people.

Nice glossy setup, not much content:
Nice visual presentation on the Nikon F5. But 5 minutes alone with the camera will give you as much information without destroying innocent trees. Basically disappointing.
Turns a monster camera into a manageable tool:
Manuals that come with cameras are OK, but it has been really nice to have clear photos of all the little buttons and step-by-step instructions on how to master this fine camera. Clear, concise, accurate - for me this book was money well spent!
