Product Description
The high-performance, lightweight Nikon F100 has made a hit with the most demanding users--photographers who want professional-quality pictures. Achieve that goal! This matchless guide begins by answering frequently asked questions about the differences between the more costly F5 and this model. Familiarize yourself with all its technological capabilities--from the powerful Multi-CAM 1300 autofocus module to the 22 custom settings to the new ten-zone 3-D matrix metering that makes "intelligent" decisions on exposure. It will whet your appetite for the technical smorgasbord the F100 offers! 176 pages, 30 color illus., 95 b/w illus., 5 x 7 1/2.

 Disappointment February 5, 2002
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
I consider myself an advanced novice. I bought an F100 and was looking for a book with some depth. This one disappointed. Yeah, it explained the features to a point, but there was minimal guidance on how to effectively use those features.
 A very bad book December 19, 2001
11 out of 14 found this review helpful
Poorly written book with very poor pictures. I hoped to find there much more information than in very compact (but as I now could see much better written) manual of F100. Instead I found unclear "explanations", not finished desriptions and much less technical information than in the manual. (e.g. no errors description at all)
Don't buy it! Read carefully the manual, you will save some time and money.
 Glorified manual August 30, 2001

This book is basically a glorified instruction manual, but that is not a bad thing. The text is easy to understand, the photos are helpful, and the book will last much longer than the original manual. Worth buying, especially for the beginner.
Worth the Money January 20, 2001
Overall the Magic Latern guide for the Nikon F100 is a good book. It may have it's problems, but what book doesn't? The authors do a good job of exploring several aspects of the F100 in greater detail. One example of how the book helped me was with understanding the cameras autofocus system. I think the guide book does an excellent job of explaining this. This alone made the book worth the purchase price.
Much rehashing of standard stuff June 25, 2000
9 out of 13 found this review helpful
This book seems to be aimed at people who (want to) buy this camera because they can. It rehashes a whole lot of stuff that someone buying an F100 should already know, it's a pro-level camera after all. Then again, it is not entirely clear about some of the workings of the exposure system. I do recommend people buy this book before they buy the camera, it gives you a good idea of what you're buying.
