Photographer's Guide to the Nikon Coolpix P610

Excellent research book....well written and organized...with links and photos that make it a pleasure to use. It is far better than anything Nikon has available (that I know of). I still have his guides to my D5100 and Coolpix P600 ....and will not buy any new camera until I have confirmed that his guide is available...today's cameras are increasingly complex and the support is essential. I have recommended the 600 series to a couple of friends, adding that my endorsement depends on their simultaneous purchase of White' guide. And, having the books on Kindle allowsfor quick lookups on iPhone or iPad while "in the field"!

I actually got this book before getting the camera. Once I actually had the CoolPix 610, I delved into this most clear, complete, and well-written/user-friendly book; I still haven't felt the need to go online to Nikon and read the camera user manual. One other thing: when the camera came and I first turned it on, I found that everything that appeared on the screen was in Japanese and I had teouble figuting out how to switch to English. So I emailed Mr. White for assistance, he immediately responded, I made the language switch, and I'm now learning the nuances of the P610 with much help from Mr. White's book.

The manual that came with my camera is 45 small pages of microscopic print with a few black and white illustrations. This one is 171 full size pages with many full color illustrations showing step-by-step procedures- far better and easier to use. One example: I was interested in WiFi remote operation which is barely covered in the NIkon manual. This book took me through the process in detail with color images. This book was the only one I could find on the P610 subject, and I'm glad I bought it.

This book is fantastic. It's far more comprehensive and in-depth than the Nikon documentation. I haven't had a chance to see everything in the book but whenever I've had a question about the operation of the camera I've been able to look it up quickly and it has yet to disappoint.I'm actually going to get another for the D7000 I have.This book is a must have unless you know everything there is to know about your camera.

Near perfect guide to owning the Nikon Coolpix P610. This type of guide should have come with the camera. The manual Nikon furnished was worthless. The author is very well knowledgeable in photography and the Camera. However the guide could use a little tweaking by a technical writer, as one reviewer stated they had to go back and forth and re-read several sections several time to understand the material. In my view some of the chapters are out of order; for example, the camera familiarization chapter (I believe chapter 5) should have been the first or second chapter.Although I gave it a "4" due to layout issues, this guide is a "must have" if you buy the Nikon P610

This book offers so much more information than the manual that came with the camera. I am using many features that I would never have figured out without the book. I am a beginner photographer and so much of this is new to me so I am happy to have a good reference.I wanted to practice with my camera before a big trip I have upcoming. I think I will have many great photographs when I return.

Given the lack of other manuals, I chose to purchase this. I bought the digital version and put it on my phone. Now it's handy wherever I go. I also have it on my laptop.I find that it has a fair amount of information. It has come in handy a few times. Some things are a little vague. Overall, I would recommend it.

This book is written about a specific model camera and deals with the various features in detail. Because it is for a specific camera, everything matches up and it is easy to find answers to questions about functions. I take it with me wherever I take my camera and have used it several times to get the most and best use out of my photography.

I bought this to help me get to grips with the Coolpix P610 that I treated myself to.I am so very glad I did. The author explains all the various dials and modes clearly - explaining what they do and why and gives clear photos of the various menus and results.Having this book to hand has enabled me to get much more out of the camera than would be possible with the fairly limited handbook that came with the camera. If you have this camera, get this book, I am sure that you will learn new stuff and that your photography will improve.

Valuable for any Nikon 610 user. Whilst the quick starter and on line guides supplied by Nikon cover everything, this guide is really well explained and illustrated for novice and intermediate users. I bought the Kindle edition, which is illustrated in colour and good value for what it covers. Bearing in mind the technical scope of the camera this guide is invaluable to get full use out of the 610.

This book is bigger than I expected. Delivery service very good. Technical in some places. Clear pictures and some good ideas on how to use the camera. Just wish I could take it out with me when taking photos. Some of the 'instructions! seem to be more for an American market than an English one. Helpful especially as Nikon do not provide an instruction manual.

I am a complete beginner with using a camera and need a ton of guidance. This book is so helpful. It explains everything in a plain and simple way, with illustrations and clear and concise instructions. I wouldn't even have been able to set my camera up without this book. If you're a beginner and buying a Nikon P610 camera I highly recommend that you purchase this book too . It's going to be invaluable to me.
