 Fabulous but... November 23, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
Fantastic camera November 23, 2008

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.
 a couple issues November 21, 2008
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
Okay ... great product in many regards. 6fps, weathersealing of a tough body, plenty of tooling capacity for those whose compulsion to tweak would otherwise be left sulking. A couple issues, however, are the low light metering, especially when a mixture of bright and dim details are within the frame and, especially unnerving, the frequent disinclination of the camera to recognize the lens affixed to it, rendering the autofocus unresponsive. I'm using a Tamron 18-270 which, when it is engaged by the camera, is a decent lens although I suspect that, being off brand, there is a compatibility issue. Turning the camera off and then back on solves the problem but nevertheless it is frustrating.
