Nikon D300 Review

By J. Keenan

The 12.3 megapixel Nikon D300 DSLR provides pro-body features - besting the from pro-level flagship D2X in many ways - at a price more in line with an upper-level prosumer camera.

Great image and color quality Improved ISO performance over last generation Nikons Impeccable build quality and robust body Terrific monitor Accepts virtually any Nikon lens

Cost, particularly if you don't have a lens

the hierarchy of Nikon's DX sensor DSLRs has undergone a dramatic change: the D300 is the best of these digital Nikons. Better than the now less expensive D200, and better than the pro bodied D2X/Xs at a fraction of the cost. The D2X/Xs and D200 are ...

Nikon D300

By Gordon Laing

The D300 is Nikon's latest semi-professional DSLR. Announced in August 2007, the new D300 comes less than two years after its predecessor, the popular D200. This is in some contrast to the three and a half year wait between the D100 and D200, and ...

There's no denying the Nikon D300 is a highly capable DSLR which will delight enthusiasts and satisfy the demands of pros looking for a backup or 'budget' body. Certainly no-one does ergonomics like Nikon and despite a handful of annoyances, it's also ...

Nikon D300

By Chick Harrity

The new Nikon D300 seems to live up to all its hype and even exceeds it in a couple of cases, especially high ISO shooting

So the preliminary conclusion is that there are at least three of us who are very impressed with the capabilities of Nikon's new Pro Level D300 and I will update this report in February

Camera of the Year 2007: Nikon D300

By the Editors of Popular Photography & Imaging

Nikon's newest digital SLR is chosen as the camera that best refined or redefined photography in 2007.

And even when you get beyond the numbers race of AF points -- this camera boasts a record-setting 51 -- it packs such paradigm-busting savvy as the ability to track subjects by color and even skin tone. Sony's new Alpha 700 also has...

Nikon D300

By Phil Askey

Award: Highly Recommended!

Very good resolution and detail without looking over-processed, even up to ISO 1600, Better balanced noise reduction than most ; more chroma NR, less luminance NR, High ISO 3200 perfectly usable (if slightly softer due to NR), ISO 6400 usable for ...

No timed mirror lock-up function (could be automatic with self-timer), Non-articulating LCD (increases the usefulness of Live View considerably), Average automatic white balance performance, still very poor under incandescent light

Just under two years since the D200 Nikon reveals the D300, the range of changes is so significant that it wouldn't be inappropriate to call it a 'compact D3' (less the full-frame sensor of course). From the top there's a new CMOS sensor with twelve ...
