 Nikon is still the best November 23, 2008

What can I say? Simply fabulous! I am an amataeur and just got the blue crane digital intro video so I can learn all the great things the camera can do. I also have poor vision so I am glad to have an SLR with a big monitor. Right now I just use it on P mode, which is similar to auto. I have been a Nikon SLR user since way back in the film days. I had a D70 (which I just sold) and loved it to death (I hate to have given it up), but my failing vision forced me into the D300. I am sure Nikon won't dissapoint. all the pros say it is an amazing piece of machinery and I trust that it is :0)

This is a fantastic camera and I'm thrilled to own it. Not much to complain about and most of the other reviewers covered the pros and cons really well. I'd give it 5 stars if it weren't for one very annoying restriction: the inability to bracket exposures in steps greater than 1 EV automatically ( of course you can do this manually) Silly restriction that makes creating HDR's more of a pain. This is a great camera otherwise and I highly recommend it.
An excellent dslr for a semi-non professional November 23, 2008

I decided to go with a 're-certified' d300 over a brand new d90, which was a difficult decision to make at the time. The decision essentially boiled down to a better camera vs a camera with video capabilities. Since I was upgrading from a d80, I decided to go for the better camera - and I couldn't be happier. The in-camera controls are great and allow for quick adjustments. It takes great low light shots (compared to the d80) which I'd always had trouble with before. Since there is no scene mode dial (which I never used on the d80) that space is opened up for other quick adjustments. I can now set a preset white balance in about 5 seconds.
It's a little bigger than the d80, and also heavier, which I don't mind. It doesn't fit as well in my old holster case, but the fact that it's a metal body and sealed somewhat gives me peace of mind when I'm out in the elements.
Overall it's a great camera. I sometimes wish for the video capabilities still, but the increased quality of my shots makes up for it.

The D300 is a fantastic camera and an incredible value. I am a professional photographer, and in this price range, I don't think there is anything out there that can touch it. Nikon has finally gotten it's image quality, resolution, sharpness and focusing capability up there with Canon. It is about time. You can spend a lot more to get a better set of features, image size and speed, but in my opinion, for this price, the D300 is tops. The camera is a huge improvement over the slow focusing D200, and with the optional battery compatability, the shooting speed is well-suited for sports action.
Nikon D-300 possibly the best Digital Camera on the market today November 23, 2008

The Nikon D-300 has to be the Rolls-Royce of Digital Cameras. The capabilities of this camera are endless; it's a true professional Digital SLR. Nikon quality is built into every aspect of this camera. With 12.3 mega pixels, the pictures come out crystal clear and the colors are vivid. New features like "Live View" are very useful. The large LCD screen is crisp and clear and great for seeing if your pictures are in perfect focus. All in all, this is a must have in my book.
