Magnifcent upgrade from D70s August 24, 2008
I upgraded from three years with the Nikon D70s. There are not enough words to describe the completeness, quality, or flexibility the D300 proffers advanced amateur photographers. What prompted me most to make the leap is the video tutorial on Nikon's web site. And it only scratches the surface of the feature-richness of this marvel of cameras. My favorite (though there are many) is the ability to customize all the settings to fit four different scenarios. For instance, if I go from shooting a landscape to shooting flash, I can instantly switch to all the settings I want for flash photography by making just one menu selection. A corollary to that is all the custom settings can be saved to a .bin file on your computer. So you go out in the field, fiddle with everything, come back and reload ALL your default customizations in a matter of minutes. If you take the plunge, you may want do what I did: I got Thom Hogan's "Complete Guide to the D300" and religiously went through it step by step--all 790 pages. It took me about six weeks, because with each step, I'd take the camera up and try/experiment. This has done two things for me: It has greatly shortened my learning curve and increased my overall satisfaction and comfort level with it.
only reason to buy this camera August 23, 2008
this camera produces the most realistic and artistic file grain I have every seen. Noise is very beautifully rendered. Images are usable even at ISO as high as 3200.
Look at some full size images of the Canon 40d and even the more expensive 5D for comparison, you'll be surprised at how much more capable this camera is in low light.
Solid build, customizable menus and controls, 51 AF points......they just sweeten the deal even more.
nikon d300 August 22, 2008
i am very happy with the camera. i previously owned the d200 so this was an upgrade. the d300 is very similar in physical appearence although the features are much improved. the only problem i had was that the vendor sent me a unit that was not brand new as the box had been opened and some things were missing. Amazon was very responsive with an exchange or a refund or keeping the item but with a discounted price.
A great camera ! August 21, 2008

Have my new Nikon 300D with 18-200 lens approx. a month.
Just returned from 2+ weeks in Alaska and my pics are great.
Have been playing with different settings and if one reads the manual or some of the excellent guides that are available all should be smooth.
A camera for the here and now and for years to come.
A winner in every sense. Experiment and you will be rewarded. I use my polarizering filter and the results are great.
If you want quality construction and Nikon reliability get this camera.
All other manufacturers strive to equal this one,so why get a 'knock-off' ?
Great for anyone who loves photography and wants more than holding your camera at arms length to capture those memorable times.
No different than reading a book or just picking up a synopsis .
Spend the money,spend the time using your brain and discover the world !!
Finally I have my DSLR August 20, 2008

This is my first DSLR, and I'm glad I waited for this. Feels much like my F100...on steroids. I'm just scraping the surface at this point and am thoroughly impressed.
