Mastering the Nikon D7000 is a new book from Darrell Young. “The book explores the features and capabilities of the camera in a way that far surpasses the user’s manual. It guides readers through the camera features with step-by-step setting adjustments; color illustrations; and detailed how, when, and why explanations for each option.”
Mastering the Nikon D7000 retails for $34.95; however, it is currently available for $19.22 on Amazon.com or the Kindle version for $9.99.
