User Reviews about Nikon School DVD - Fast - Fun and Easy III Featuring the Nikon D5000 Digital SLR

All the information on the DVD can be found for free and better on Nikon's website and is therefore not worth the money.
Just search for D5000 and Digitutor in your favorite search engine.

Nevertheless it is a nice DVD and gives a good overview of the camera. I give it 3 stars for that. -- Free and better on Nikon's website

It has been 20 years since I have owned an SLR camera so I knew things had changed - especially since going digital. This DVD really helped me get up to speed with Digital SLR photography as well as the Nikon d5000. I have referred to it many times since the first viewing to remind myself how to do various things with my new "toy." -- MUST HAVE DVD

Good basic information for the D5000. Goes through most settings and situations. The Blue Crane videos are much more in depth. Highly recommend volume 1, volume 2 is very intense as to colors and printing. -- Good for D5000

a very basic dvd which tells you how to get started with your Nikon d5000.
For this purpose it is a fine product but for anything further, it will not suffice.

SG -- Very basic book

I found this 60 min DVD very informative as well as enjoyable. It takes you from how to charge the battery to using manual modes to get the best picture for your environment.

The narrator is big on light and vivid colors which I liked. It quickly goes over every function of the D5000 and you may have to watch it a few times if you are a beginning photographer. It is specific to the D5000. It also gives tips of becoming a better photographer....like backgrounds, light conditions, colors, environmental settings, staging a shot.....

This is only a supplement and it does not have time to fully explain the camera. I would get a good book on the D5000 to go with the DVD. Anyway I found it well worth the 10 bucks and would suggest you buying it if you are new to DSLR cameras.

Another helpful place to find camera specific information is U-Tube....They have several informative videos on the D5000. -- WORTH 10 BUCKS FOR THE BEGINNER
