Great dvd! July 9, 2008
The dvd is great....I like being able to watch the dvd and then stop it for a while to practice. I found it very informative and useful. It is great for people who are not professional photographers and want to learn more about photography and the D300.

Professional presentation. Technical how to and tips are very useful. I've attended classes so I can become more comfortable with my Nikon D300 but end up forgetting what I've learned from the class and what I took away was minimal. I purchased the Nikon D300 DVD for review and found that it's worth every penny. The chapter format that is easy to follow. The instructor is clear, concise and very professional. I love that I can view the information at my own pace and schedule. I can stop and review the DVD as needed. It's a great reference tool for any novice to intermediate user of the Nikon D300. A great value compared to what I paid for my classes. I can't wait for the advance DVD coming out mid-year.
Want video training on photography? Blue Crane Digital is the way to go! May 27, 2008

There aren't that many DVD's out there on the D300 (or other Nikon models) and I've tried 4 of them.
2 were pretty worthless, one was a mere ok, but this one is really excellent.
The DVD explains how your D300's functions work and how to use a consistent "workflow" for setting up your camera before the shoot, at the location and before and during the shot in a shooting session.
It touches the most important menu settings and gives you a good explanation of them, along with a recommendation. (The menu system will be covered in full in volume 2 of this DVD)
The other DVD's covered the menu's in full, but it was no more than summing up a list of them.
Furthermore it gives you a quick but usefull course on photography topics such as exposure, metering, focus, DOF, white balance, flash and composition.
The pace of the DVD is fast, which means there is a lot of information packed into it.
But we have a rewind button ...
I also have seen the two "Through the Eyes of a Pro" DVD's by Blue Crane Digital which are of the same high quality. Good tips on photography illustrated by real world examples.
To sum it up, if you want video training for your Nikon or Canon, check out Blue Crane Digital's website and see what video's they have for your camera model and photography in general. These are the only DVD's you will need. And watch future releases! ;)
Oh, and the DVD is not Region 1 coded btw. It's region free, and will play on any DVD-Player.

Although I have been using the D300 since it was released, and had "fairly well" sorted out all the menus, buttons, etc. there were many questions. Nikon produces a large and very detailed manual, but in reality, their manuals are difficult to use - at least for me. Fortunately, I had been using a D80 and much of the experience was transferrable to the D300. The DVD is far more than an instructional video for the D300 as it has considerable information on photography in general. Regardless of your photographic experience, don't skip over these chapters - yes, you will learn from this information. Once into the body of the D300 information, the chapters are well organized and easily understood. The DVD stresses learning to use the camera in a way that many of the settings will become useable without taking your eye from the viewfinder. Do the exercises as they will make using the camera much more efficient and in the end will free you to do what it is you want to do -- make images! The D300 is a powerful and incredibly flexible camera which will more than serve the needs of any photographer. The DVD will allow you to appreciate the instrument you are holding in your hands as you and it manages every aspect of the image you want to make. If there is a shortcoming in the DVD it's the amount of time spent in the more advanced functions. However, as they mention, this area will become a separate version to be released later this year. For my use, that can't come too soon. A final comment - The DVD shouldn't be seen as a "view it once and you'll have it all." It is a very user friendly presentation and will become a tremendous resource allowing you to use and appreciate the power and flexibility of the D300. You spent a lot of money on the camera, now spend a very few more dollars and learn what you have. In the end, you'll be amazed at the image control you have and your pictures will prove the point.

A joy to watch, WELL-PREPARED PRESENTATION. I have "ordered D300 made easy" 2 DVDs as well but this single DVD beat it hands down. Great speaker, that's very important. GET THIS VIDEO!
