Movie Reviews of Introduction to the Nikon D200
Movie Review: They Did It Again
Summary: 5 Stars
Blue Crane did it again, another great instruction DVD. I loved the one they provided for the Nikon D70 and it saved me lots of mistakes and decreased my learning curve. I am now the owner of a D200 and in my opinion their new DVD is worth every penny and very well done.
If you are a professional or anyone who can decode all the features on the D200 then great... you do not need this kind of support. Even though the Nikon D200 comes with a manual, the manual's explanations and definitions did not provide me with as expansive an explanation or an instant understanding of how to operate the camera as the DVD. I am very grateful to have access to this media. As stated in the presentation "a new car comes with a manual but the manual does not teach you how to drive the car."
I spent two days absorbing the information presented and I am no longer struggling with all the new features on this camera and believe me there is a multitude of new learning. The D200 is not as forgiving as the D70 and it pays in quality photographs to know what you are doing. This is a professional camera and much more complex than the D70 in my opinion.
My ability to shoot perfect photographs the way I did with the D70 when I surpassed the learning curve is still far from constantly present when I use the D200; however, I am not totally lost due to Blue Crane's guidance and I am getting better each day. The instructor gives you exercises and solid information of how to operate the camera to obtain better photographs. A Small amount of the information on basic composition and types of lenses is repeated from the D70 video but, it was good to hear it again.
Often, I avoided many in-camera menu features on the D70 because of the various auto provided programs that comes with the camera (i.e. portrait, landscape, macro, etc.,) or I shot in manual mode most of the time; however, that kind of grace is not a component of the D200; therefore, it is necessary to learn how to use the camera's features to create those kinds of components and much more.
Also, to compliment your learning I recommend that you purchase John Cooksey's DVD "Nikon D200 Training," he gives you indepth training and additional photo tips on all the D200 menus that you will not find on this DVD or in the manual. Both DVD's together, make the perfect marriage.
So, if you choose to avoid frustration and struggle in learning how to use the Nikon D200 right away, buy this DVD!
