Nikon D300 (w/ 18mm-200mm lens) review

By Lori Grunin (cnet.com)

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.

Lightning fast over the D100 -- Superior viewing screen -- Auto-focus lenses snap with precision -- Nikon quality, feel and reliability --- good tech support -- good USA warranty -- great 12 mega pixel resolution - no film to buy -- Digital is Green!

Firmware issue surfaced -- needed to download upgrade firmware from internet then upload to D300 -- without upgrade camera became an expenxive rock -- Cost of body astronomical compare to Nikon F3 film camera -- $300 vs $1800 --
