Excellent performance and photo quality ; solidly built ; extremely flexible custom settings architecture ; onboard wireless flash controller
A bit too expensive, given the competition
Visibly better photo quality and slightly improved performance make the Nikon D300 a significant upgrade over the D200 and an excellent all-around choice.

It's hard to find anything not to like about the D300 – you could complain about the fact that the LCD is not articulating, which would greatly enhance live view mode, but then you could easily argue that this would compromise build quality and ...

There are a lot of great cameras on the market, but the D300 more than any of them is designed for the serious photographer. The bottom line is this: If you need a great digital SLR camera and the price is no issue, the Nikon D300 will exceed your ...
The Nikon D300 is the LONG awaited successor to the D200, which was introduced way back in 2005. This upgrade isn't evolutionary by any stretch of the imagination -- it's a totally new camera. Here are the most significant new features:
Excellent photo quality (after some setting tweaks) ; Better high ISO performance than the 40D, A700 ; Built like a brick (though see issue below) ; Live view on a stunning, ultra-sharp 3-inch LCD display ; Dust reduction system ; Dedicated AF-assist ...
Images are soft at default settings ; camera tends to overexpose ; Battery grip (and proper battery configuration) required for 8 fps continuous shooting ; No exposure preview, live histogram, or self-timer in live view mode ; Sluggish contrast detect ...
If you buy either of the lens kits, then you're ready to go right away. If you didn't, then you should know that you can attach nearly any F-mount Nikkor lens in existence. There is a 1.5X focal length conversion ratio here, so a 50 mm lens will have ...
In the D300, Nikon have created a worthy successor to the widely respected D200 professional Digital SLR camera. Wisely retaining the most valued features of its predecessor, such as the weather-sealed metal chassis and extensively backward-compatible ...
The top of the camera also accommodates the serviceable if limited popup flash unit, which can function as a controller for Nikon's Creative Lighting System external flash units when these are available. The limitations of the flash aren't as severe ...
The D300 from Nikon updates the successful D200 design with a new 12.3-megapixel sensor, improved auto focus, and a 3-inch LCD with razor-sharp , 921,000-pixel resolution for $1799 (lens not included). This camera is aimed at the serious amateur and ...
The D300 camera body is evidence of its serious nature. Festooned with buttons, the complex play of dials, switches and controls will be off-putting to the uninitiated. It's also a large, quite heavy camera (1.82 lbs/ 825 grams), built with robust ...
The Gadget: Nikon's D300 is a 12.3MP camera with 200-6400 (hi mode) ISO, a 3-inch LCD, 51 autofocus points and a prosumer magnesium body on the fence, but teetering more towards pro than consumer. Inside is a DX-sensor, not quite the FX sensor found ...
Nikon has stepped up its game with this excellent mid-level digital SLR.
Sophisticated feature set ; excellent AF performance ; responsive 3D tracking AF system ; incredibly vibrant 3-inch LCD ; good low light/high ISO capabilities (with limitations-see Cons) ; custom Picture Control settings can be saved and shared ; ...
Manual noise reduction produces overly soft images at "Normal" and "High" settings ; 3D tracking can work against itself when the subject and background colors are similar ; 8fps continuous shooting available only with optional battery grip ; learning ...
Despite some minor quibbles, the Nikon D300 proves that it's not only a highly capable camera but one that has raised the bar for next generation mid-level DSLRs. When it comes to digital cameras, competition may be a photographer's best friend
Stellar Shooter
Great image quality. Substantial, comfortable body. Snappy response time. Live-view LCD mode. Gives complete image control. Good high-ISO performance. Useful stabilizer in bundled lens.
Every surface seems covered with buttons.
. The D300 fits nicely between professional and beginner digital cameras. Complete manual control and excellent images make it a great backup for pros or an upgrade after intermediates outgrow their starter DSLRs.
The Nikon D300 splits the difference between full-frame, professional cameras and entry-level DSLRs. COMPANY: NikonCONTACT: www.nikon.comPRICE: $1,800 for body only; $2,540 with 18-200mm VR lensREQUIREMENTS: Mac OS X, USB or CompactFlash reader...
