Reviews
Overall this is a great book and resource for Nikon Coolpix B700 cameras. Here are the pros and cons as I see it:Pros:1. This book is a great resources of information if you are a beginner or a seasoned professional, I have been using this particular camera for over a year and I learned some new functions and I have some features I doubt I will use often, but it will be fun to experiment with them.2. The motion picture section is also very useful, especially to someone like myself that primarily focuses on stills.3. The book is clearly written, easy to follow, and has decent size print.4. The index in the back is well done and helpful as is the contents section in the front.5. 172 pages, so very complete.Cons:1. I wish the book was done on higher quality gloss paper so the pictures would be of higher quality and more helpful as examples.
