Very Detailed and Helpful Book
This book is easy to read. The words just flow and I always read more than I can absorb at one time! David Busch explains how the D300 works, where all of the buttons are located and what to do with those buttons. I can't wait to get into the later chapters.
This book is a great companion for the D300. I recommend it.
So much more than you get in the manual
The manual that comes with the camera tells you little more than how to use the controls. This book goes far beyond that to explain why you'd want to make each setting, and how to use the features of the Nikon D300 to improve your exposures and take better pictures. The sections on working with histograms, or that show how the D300's autofocus system works are worth the price alone. In its 450 pages Busch spends about 120 pages just to explainging the nuances of the menu entries and what each option means. There's a 12 page section (which should have been in the manual, but wasn't) that offers recommended settings for each of the four Shooting Banks and Custom Setting Banks. Nor does the manual that comes with the camera contain an exhaustive look at Nikon lenses, their features, and descriptions of the cream of the crop.
None of the other three books available for this camera have this much detail or this much information. Mastering the Nikon D300 is a very small book with about 200 pages of descriptions of the menu options, plus an excellent section on using electronic flash. The Magic Lantern D300 Guide is similar, but it is also a small book with only black and white illustrations.
The Nikon D300 Digital Field Guide is little more than a general photography book with only a small proportion of information applying directly to the D300 itself. Most of that book is padded with simplified formulas for shooting very general photo categories, such as Landscapes or Portraits, and the example photos were mostly taken with non Nikon lenses.
If you want much more information and solid advice than you get in the manual that comes with the camera, this book should be your first choice.
Not a whole lot more than the manual
This book is OK but not really worth the money. Just read the manual.
