 Nikon D300 is all I expected and more January 2, 2008
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I have had my D300 for about four weeks now and have fallen in love with it. From the 51 point auto focus to the built in editing capability it is a fantastic camera. The combination that I use is the D300 with the Nikon 18-200mm VR lens and it allows me, for the most part, to carry only one lens and still allows me to "get the shot".
The clarity of the LCD, the fast focus, the placement of controls, and of course the 12 megapixel resolution are what serious amateurs and professionsl are looking for in a camera.
This camera replaced a Leica Vlux-1 that I thought would be my camera going forward. I was so disappointed with the quality of the images that I sold it to get the D300 and I have not been disappointed.
If there is a negative it is the weight of the camera and lens when traveling internationally and doing a lot of walking from tourist site to tourist site. But in fact the weight is necessary to get the quality and stability of the body and its ability to absorb shocks and keep out dust and moisture.
I would recommend the Nikon D300 to anyone who is a serious photographer and is looking for outstanding image quality and flexibility when shooting in the field.
Best D300 review Ever! January 2, 2008

A great camera. I stepped up from a D200, and I find the improvements excellent. The large screen and self cleaning features are my 2 favorite improvements. There is little difference between the 10 and 12 MP, but the camera seems to handle noise better and everything works a little more quickly. I am a semi-pro, and this camera will pay for itself quickly.
Better than expected January 2, 2008

I got the D300 initially, So that I could compare it to my D200. If there was not much difference, I would simply return it.
Well, there was a BIG difference. (I'll leave all the tech details to the other reviewers).
The D 300 is a great camera. Get it now and you should have about 2 years before the next model comes out & puts it to shame.
So, anyone want a D200 ?....

Excellent camera, easy to understand why it has been chosen as the camera of the year only 3 weeks after its release.

I received my D300 from Amazon during the first wave of deliveries, right after Thanksgiving. I had used a D80 for almost exactly one year (15k pictures) and though I really liked that camera, the D300 blows it away.
The other reviews here cover everything I can think of: it is an excellent, fast camera - the controls and ergonomics are excellent, the picture quality is excellent, the AF and and exposure modes are excellent - and nearly everything is adjustable.
I really can't think of anything I am unhappy about with the camera...ok, I wish the ML-L3 infrared remote from my D80 worked with it, but... this is REALLY a nitpick.
