Nikon D300 pcnation.com User Reviews

Speed and more speed, value, improved low noise, pro everything

Expensive and complex for the inexperienced.

Truly great looking shots right out of the box. Rich, vibrant colors and accurate focus.

Cost, no scene modes

Great pro features at a reasonable price (for a pro camera).

A lengthy owners manual.

How a camera 'feels' in your hand has no real reference to what the cameras qualities or technology is/are. Yet it has been my experience over the past 35 years with SLRs, that if it does not feel right to you, you won't shoot that well with it. The D300...

D lighting, fantastic metering and dust protected sensor.

It does weigh a few pounds.

So far I love this thing. The LCD screen is bright and clear. I would'nt want to watch a movie on it, but it is nice for reviewing songs, settings, etc. The main thing I like about this player is that the sound quality is awesome. I'm amazed at the sound...

Sound Quality, Size, Looks, Navigation thru menus, etc. Price

A longer cord for the earbuds, More accessories.

Low noise at high ISO, improved dynamic range, great build quality, professional feature set, etc.

Performance failures possibly caused by silly Live View mode, as well as camera lens mount.

Purchased a D300 with 18-200 VR lens based on the highly acclaimed reviews (including Popular Photography's 2007 Camera of the Year award status) and was disappointed at the mediocre image quality (Clarity, Sharpness, Saturation). I am a experienced ...

Many customizable features. Excellent battery life. Button access to key controls. Rugged appearance.

Poor image quality from my D300

My timing, for once, was spot on. I tend to upgrade my primary shooter every four years or so. The last time was to acquire my first digital SLR, a Nikon D70 (the original model) that had been then named “Popular Photography” magazine’s ...

Ultimately capable with a feature set approaching that of the Pro D3.

Some mechanical design misses that detract from an otherwise superb camera.

First off, this isn't going to be an overly technical review designed to excite gearheads - you'll find that sort of thing on more dedicated camera review sites.This is a review written after using the D300 for several months now, having been a ...
