D200 Reference Material Anonymous
I just purchased a D200 and I am looking for good reference material to learn how to use it. I haven't taken pictures in a long time with anything other than a crappy point & Shoot. I used to use a Cannon AE-1 a long time ago but decided to go digital.
I am looking to take mostly portraits with some nature photography. I have a crappy 18-55mm and I just ordered the 50mm 1.4 lens in the picture. I can't afford the really good 2.8's (yet) but I plan on saving up until I can get them.
A friend had the D200 DVD but it was basically just what settings the camera has, not how to use them. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

PROTIP: shooting with a D200 is no different from shooting with any other (D)SLR. Just think of it as your old AE-1 with added autofocus.
