Mastering the Nikon D7200 (The Mastering Camera Guide Series)

This is by far the best book about the Nikon D7200. It provided in depth details about virtually every setting the D7200 has to offer along with the authors’ suggested settings. And yes, there are detailed explanations about the numerous buttons and dials on the camera body. This is my D7200 go to reference manual, and I carry it in my photo backpack. But it does not teach you how to set up proper ISO, shutter speed and aperture settings for a good exposure. You will find that in books about general photography.

This is a review of "Mastering the the Nikon D7200," but I have a history with the author's work that is worth mentioning. I first discovered Darrell's work in 2009 when I received the Nikon D90 as a gift. I had decided it was time to learn how to shoot manually and figured the best place to start was with a how-to manual for the camera I owned, plus a lot of experimentation and reading on photography in general. I don't remember how I came across "Mastering the Nikon D90," but I was hooked from the beginning. Darrell's straightforward discussion of each camera feature, broken down into easy to reference sections, plus his suggested settings jump-started my learning process. "Mastering the Nikon D7000" was equally excellent, and now I am pleased to own this one. While I may also order the electronic copy of this book, I particularly enjoy having the hardcover. The book is visually pleasing and well-organized, with an extensive index. If you are familiar with the other books in the series, you will find things satisfyingly consistent. But the best part of this book is the straightforward discussion about the myriad features of the Nikon D7200, starting with initial camera set-up. There are choices to make, and Darrell makes these distinctions easy to understand. But lest you think this book is just for a beginner, it is not. Darrell manages to impart the simple information necessary to become familiar with the camera's basic features, but also delves deeper for those who are ready for or needing more in depth information, as well as including helpful links with further information. The book is thick enough to feel the satisfaction of knowing that if you read it all, you'll be light years ahead of many D7200 owners, but not so thick that you can't take it with you when you need to. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

I already own his Mastering the D7000 book, so when I upgraded cameras, I upgraded to his D7200 book. The two books are very similar, but he carefully details all the improvements in the newer model, which are many. The author does an exceptional job of describing the myriad of menu choices as well as the basic and advanced settings of this Nikon and he also clearly helped me understand the implications of one setting over another. I find this book invaluable and it is now covered with tabs and highlights. One reviewer criticized this book for not providing a course to improve creativity. Really? You need this book if you are new to this camera and/or to the Nikon menu system, and what I really like are the author's conclusions/preferences/recommendations for each setting and option. Buy another book if you want tips on being more creative in your photography.

This book has been very helpful to me. The manual that came with my camera is nice, but I appreciated the author sharing the settings that he uses also. If you have a D7200, you would be well served to read this book from cover to cover. Not only did I learn al lot about my new camera, but I understand my older Nikon better. The D7200 is a very complicated camera. I've had to learn as I go along which settings are best for different situations. This book helps a lot with that. There was on weird glitch in the kindle version of this book - there is a section that appears to be about another Nikon product and is completely unrelated to the D7200. I read it twice just to make sure.

A Great book!!! If you want to know all about your Nikon D7200 and all it's features and how to use them, then this is it! This book is so well written and easy to understand. The author explains everything so well, and in great detail. This D7200 is my 3rd Nikon camera upgrade. I started with the D3100, then the D5300, and now the D7200. This book is very helpful with learning all the new features and camera controls on the D7200. I recommend this book for anyone who has a D7200 Nikon camera.

I bought this book for my husband to learn more about his Nikon D7200 camera. It has been a very good investment so far. This book is very well designed and is easy to navigate through as it includes color photographs and an index. The author goes through every part of this camera you can imagine, leaving no questions unanswered. My husband learns new skills, tips, and tricks every day as he has been making his way through the book. It seems to be a resource he will keep as long as he has the camera.

Definitely more than just a users manual. Darrell helps you to understand the D7200s options and how, why, and when to use them. He gives you his recommendations and then why you might not want to take them. I just got my D7200 (my third Nikon DSLR - D3500 and D5300 previously) a week ago and Darrell's book three days ago and just reading a few short sections it has changed how I look at taking Photos. Thank you Mr. Young! Darrell's "Mastering" series will be the first "accessory" I purchase anytime I upgrade my camera.

This review is for another great book by Darrell Young, best money you can spend after purchasing a new Nikon or upgrading your equipment. Buy the paperback version as it will be your go to 'how to do this", full of great tips on making perfect shots. I use sticky tabs to make it convenient to find sections I review. Goes into much greater detail than the dreaded owners manual and has great tips for setting up the custom menus as well with color pictures showing the buttons and menus to help you follow along. I have his D750 and Beyond Point and Shoot as well so any of his books are a great investment.

Avevo letto entrambi mi manuali (utente e menu) della D7200, ma questo libro mi ha fatto scoprire aspetti e possibilità che non avevo scoperto/capito. Ora padroneggio davvero la D7200! Il libro è ovviamente tecnico, ma ben fatto, chiaro ed esauriente.

If you own a Nikon D7200 then I think this book is a must, even if you've been using the camera for some time. Pretty much everything you could want to know about how to operate this camera and change the settings for the better are here. What's more, the author, who is a long time professional photographer, also adds his own take at the end of each section on what settings he prefers to use, and why he prefers it. This is very useful indeed if you're not a professional. But just to be clear to people, though: this isn't a "How to take photographs" type book; it's purely about how to operate this excellent camera.
