DVD Reviews of Introduction to the Nikon D300
DVD Review: D 300 introduction
Summary: 4 Stars
Better than the manual specially to a newbie like me. it is very informative, well made and most important it is very clear and accurate. I highly recommend this and in fact I have the Vol. 2 for the D300 & 700 advance as well. DVD Review: basic introduction
Summary: 4 Stars
Is adequate basic introduction to Nikon 300. Handles the most used features. Not much detail on the complexities of the menus and how they can be used. If you have Nikon 200 DVD this does not add much.DVD Review: Very useful but often too fast.
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the third in a series of training tutorials I have purchased from the USA - all of which, incidentally, work perfectly well in my DVD player here in the UK.
The title of the product is an "Introduction to the Nikon D300" camera. Anyone who is already conversant with the complexities and techniques of other digital cameras and has upgraded to the D300 will probably learn very little from this product. For those of us who are beginning a whole new chapter in photography by converting to digital for the first time, there is much to learn and understand and this tutorial is quite reasonable in achieving the goals required.
If, however, you are new to photography altogether and the D300 is your very first camera, there may be certain areas such as the correlation between film speeds, shutter speeds and aperture settings which need to be understood before you sit down and watch this DVD.
The presentation is rather wooden but not as monotone as some I have seen. If, however, I were to make one truly constructive criticism, it would be that the speed of delivery is often too fast.
The only way to learn through these tutorials is to sit down with a Nikon D300 and follow what is being said. I found too many instances when the presenter made one point and by the time I had looked at my camera and back again at the screen he had already moved on and I had missed something. This was especially evident towards the end of the DVD and gave me the impression he was in a hurry to be elsewhere.
All that said, this particular DVD runs for approx. 2 hours and compares very well to others. Criticisms about it being for beginners are misplaced - because it is INTENDED to be an introduction to the camera and is not for advanced users.
The presentation ends with recommendations of two further Blue Crane products called "Through the eyes of a Pro" which, we are informed, contain more advanced instruction. I already possess these products and will be studying them very shortly. So watch this space.
NM
Addendum. I have now studied "Through the eyes of a Pro (Volume 1)" and found it to be very different from what I was given to expect. That product contains no specific instructions relating to the Nikon D300 camera whatsoever. See my review of that particular product for more information.
Another star lost for this product for having misled me.
DVD Review: It's what I needed to get to know my Nikon D300
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read the manual, but same time you need same one to tell you hot tips of your camara and how to use it to get the best out of it. This video give you just that.
When you start by your self, this video is a good professor.
Nice material when you are starting with the camara.
DVD Review: Nikon Battery Pack D300/D700
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this Nikon battery pack for my Nikon D300. This product enables your Frames Per Second to increase as well as overall battery life. Additionally it offeres and provide the user with a better sense of balance when using larger telephoto lenses such as my 70-200mm F/2.8 telephoto lens. After I purchased this product, the New Nikon D700 Full Frame Camera was announced and was made available. I decided to upgrade to Full Frame (FX) format and this battery pack fits perfectly on my new Nikon D700. I am thourougly satisfied with this product and the fine job that Amazon.com did in shipping it too me. Great product at a great price with excellent service is what you can expect from Amazon.com. Thanks
