[QUOTE="hark, post: 753487, member: 13196"] First of all, I got the impression that since your two bodies were stolen, your lenses might have been stolen as well. So when I read BeegRhob's comment asking about lenses, I read it as being helpful. Honestly I'm having a little trouble understanding exactly what you want. So hopefully my comments below will help hone your general comment for tutorials to be more specific on what you are looking for. To answer your question about tutorials, it would be good to know what subjects you are interested in shooting. For example, landscape settings can be very different than settings for birds in flight. There are times when I change settings based on what I'm shooting. General settings to consider are AF-S (stationary subjects) or AF-C (moving subjects). Type of metering - matrix, center-weighted, spot. Camera Profile choice (then going deeper into the menu to possibly adjust sharpening, contrast, etc). AF single point or multiple points in the viewfinder. Audible beep on or off when the shutter is actuated. These are just some very basic settings which can impact your images or ease of use. The thing is no one can tell you what setting changes you might need to make because we don't know what subjects you intend to shoot. As I already mentioned, you might need to change settings when you are out shooting depending on your subject. Once you have dialed in your settings, then what subjects are your preference, and what lenses do you own? Are you looking for tutorials on how to use your D3 to shoot landscapes, people/portraits, sports, etc? Or are you looking for tutorials on how to make setting changes? If you were looking for tutorials on what settings to use, then search YouTube for specifics on the suggestions I made above (AF-S vs AF-C, metering, etc). Honestly I'm really not sure what types of tutorials you are interested in - ones for settings or how to use the camera for sports vs. landscape vs. people vs. wildlife. If you can elaborate a little more on what types of tutorials you are looking for, maybe we can hone in on some that will be helpful. [/QUOTE]
