    D70 Users

    There is a new book on the market in the Peter Inova series: D70. This is a must for anyone who shoots a D70! Bout $50 + shipping.

    Has anybody got any experience with these kind of books?

    I'm a little skeptical of them unfortunately. I picked up a digital photography magazine the other day because the front cover read '50 secrets of the D70'

    After I'd finished reading it I thought they'd have been better off calling it '50 things that anybody who has read the D70 manual already knows'

    Are these books full of knowledge that's genuinely new and useful or do they just regurgitate the owner's manual and throw in a few tips that anybody who's used the camera for a couple of months already knows?

    I don't have (or plan to get) a D70. But for curiosity's sake...

    What is a camera specific book going to tell you that you can't find out from the manual or from actually using the camera?
    There's no correlation between creativity and equipment ownership. None. Zilch. Nada. Actually, as the artist gets more into his thing, and as he gets more successful, his number of tools tends to go down. He knows what works for him. Expending mental energy on stuff wastes time.

    Quite a bit. That would be like asking why someone would buy a 3rd party book on Photoshop. The D70 has quite a few functions.. and no manual covers digital workflow... the information Nikon gives on the flash system is minimal... and so on and so on. I wouldn't say it was very informative for nothing

    I guess that makes sense.

    Thanks
