J-Rev’s Got D-5000 Game!
When I was in Italy, and wound up having to buy that Nikon D-5000 because I left my other gear back in New York (here’s that sad story), I immediately called my buddy Jeff Revell and asked him if he’d real quick write a book on the D-5000, and anyway….the first batch just came off press, and Jeff just got his first copies yesterday. By the way; I’m totally joking about asking him to write the book—-I just got lucky that Jeff was already writing that book, and yesterday I was begging him to send me one of that first batch.
Anyway, the book will be hitting bookstores shortly, and you can pre-order it right here from Barnes & Noble.com or Amazon.com, or wherever great camera books are sold.
Congrats Jeff, not only on expanding your series, but for creating a new way to learn our cameras—-not just so we know which buttons do what, but how to use those buttons to take better photos, which is what it’s really all about.
I wish there were a book like this for the Sony Alpha, I would have bought one in a heartbeat. Seems like a fantastic idea and I’m sure all the D5000 owners will be excited to check it out.
Scott, have you considered updating your “My Gear” page? The D5000 is missing from it and I wonder what else has changed since you made that list.
I bought Jeff’s Canon 50D book, I couldn’t have been happier. It was a big help.
I may be a little biased but, Jeff’s Canon book is an excellent book on the BASICS of Photography. It just happens to be using the Canon or Nikon camera. So if you own the particular camera or want to learn about the basics these books are really good. IMHO

That is great looking book-could you convince him to do the D90?
I had been saving my money for a D300, but you are making me want the D5000 more and more…
Scott… now that you’ve had the D5000 for a bit… what are your comments post after your Italy trip?
I have been toying with either getting a D90 or a D5000. I find myself moving towards the D5000…any feedback would be appreciated.
Hey Scott,
Is it time to update your “My Gear” page? I am trying to keep up with what you blog about, and an update would be helpful.
Thanks,
Joe
I purchased Jeff’s 50D book recently and can’t put it down. If the tech guys that write the camera manuals could take a few lessons from Jeff in how to understand the cameras functions and how they can benefit the end user, we wouldn’t need books like these frmo Jeff. But, I’m glad that they haven’t figured it out yet. Jeff’s book is much more enjoyable.
