    Really great review as there was some features of my d5600 I wasn't too sure about. It's probably one of the best instructors I have come across as he's explains things in simple terms that I am able to understand.

    I am new to photography and I purchased this D5600 camera three years ago. I was intimidated and had no time to learn the camera so I put it down. I purchased this class thinking just some more money I will waste trying to learn. I must say, this is the BEST class I have EVER taken and believe me I have taken many and learned absolutely NOTHING! John was so detailed until I took 50 pages of notes and I now know my camera inside out! I HIGHLY recommend this course and I will be taking more from his. John's passion shines through!

    Had to pause the lessons to say, I have learnt more in the first 9 lessons than i have using the books about the camera, the manual and 2 youtube videos from Jared and the Northrups. Well worth the few dollars the course cost me

    John is a fabulous teacher. So clear and easy to follow. I will take many of his classes as I learn photography! Thanks John!

    This is the second class from John Greengo that I purchased and once again I learned a TON of information about the Nikon D5600. I recently purchased this camera and thought I could either spend weeks going through online materials and trial-and-error to learn the camera or do it right the first time and take John's "Fast Start" class - no regrets, definitely glad I did it and the bonus is that I also have the video reference sections that I can use as a refresher, when needed.

    I received my D5600 as a Christmas gift, and while I picked up a few things on my own, this class was wonderful. I learned more than I would have picked up just by reading a book about the camera. Thank you, John!

    I have had the D5600 for some 5 months and purchased a few instruction books on the camera but just an hour with the lesson and I have learnt far more in a short time than I thought possible - John Greengo is the man

  • Steve W. Nov 29, 2017

    I thought this class was excellent in that John Greengo showed me the essentials of my new Nikon D5600. I learned all about the menus, the settings and the relationship between shutter, aperture and ISO. Highly recommended.

  • Ken H. Jul 28, 2017

    I find these interesting and very informative just for the featiures. I would like to see one on the slightly older Sony a77. Note, too, Mr Greengo that this manufacturer is, as I have been many times corrected, Neekaan and not Nighkawn.
