Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent Magic Lantern Guide
Review: Although not obvious from the title, this is a Magic Lantern Guide, and an excellent source of information. It clearly explains the different program modes and also covers use of the optional MF-26 and Photo sectretary.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not only a bad translation!!!
Review: I am from Switzerland and, of course, bought this guide in german. It is not due to the bad translation into english that the book lacks information, clarity and useful information. It is simply a rather hasty written review of an excellent photoworkhorse that had to be thrown onto the bookmarket as soon as poss. What a pity because the camera is fine!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not worth the money!
Review: It didn't provide any more information than the instruction manual that came with the camera did. Only advantage is the size and shape of the book which feels nicer than holding the manual.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Totally useless book
Review: Subject material is explained poorly, probably due in part to an inadequate translation from the original German text.

The (mostly bland) pictures do not illustrate how camera features were utilized to get the 'ideal' image. Book is missing an index, and the table of contents is dense. Doesn't go beyond anything the manual covers, and obfuscates many points covered in the manual.

Poor coverage of camera interaction with SB-26/SB-28 flash units. Example: no discussion of usable metering modes when working with fill flash outdoors. Don't look to the SB-26 or SB-28 books by this author for any help either. An incredibly poor combination of books whose whole is dreadfully less than the sum of its parts.

Useless as a reference work, and dubious as a guide. Spend your money on slide film and learn from your own mistakes.

Unfortunately, I couldn't give this book less than one star -- it really should have negative 5 stars!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Totally useless book
Review: The Book Provides excellent supplementary information on the use and uses of the N90S/F90X. Its sections on metering, progam modes, data backs and Photo Secertary are excellent.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent supplement to user manual
Review: The Book Provides excellent supplementary information on the use and uses of the N90S/F90X. Its sections on metering, progam modes, data backs and Photo Secertary are excellent.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: poor
Review: the magic lanter guides are poor--they should be much better--they should get a better editor and a better tech writor from one of the photo magazines to work with them

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Rehash of the instruction manual
Review: This book expands on the instruction manual in some interesting ways, but ultimately, the N90s instruction manual is written more clearly and, I thought, helpfully.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Expanded Guid to the N90s's features
Review: This book goes a long way to not only explaining the features of this complex insturment but also why you would want to use them and how to get the most out of them.
