Thanks Charlie...! I bought David Busch's book early on and found/find it a bit overwhelming. I then bought John Batdorff's "Nikon D7000 From Snapshots to Great Shots" which I found/find easier to use, but still incomplete somehow. I've just bought Digital Darrel's book on Kindle as well, so will see how I do with that one. I also find that ALL manuals that come with a product are all written by the people that developed the product, people who are already intimately familiar with the product. They 'assume' way too much understanding of the product by the consumer, thus users manuals that are difficult to impossible to glean any real use from...

Thanks again for the help...! Cliff Harvey
