Ratings and reviews

I have always enjoyed David Busch's books. Had his book for the d750 and now for the d850. Very informative and well worth the purchase. Just a couple of minor annoying things about the d850 edition. When he uses his bullet points, sometimes a new point is used in the middle of paragraph when it spills over to the next page (at least in the e-book), I just find this to be distracting. Also, you can tell some sections were "cut and paste" from the d750 book, like when he discusses flash and refers to the pop up flash which the d850 does not have. Again, just a minor annoyance. I still wish these books had the the index feature you find in the print edition and not just the search function, and this is the reason for only 4 stars. Highly recommended
