Great Camera for Enthusiasts June 16, 2008
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
The Nikon D300 is a great camera for enthusiasts and advanced amateurs. The D300 is fast to focus, has plenty of megapixels, advanced controls, and has a tacky-feeling grip which helps you hold the camera. This is my fifth Nikon.
Don't buy a D3 unless you are rich. Buy the D300.

This is one heck of a camera. I have had Nikons (F5, F, 8008, F4), Canons (Rebel), Leica (M3, IIIc), and Hasselblad (500 CM) and I think this is the best I've had in terms of feel, features, and picture quality. I'm slowly putting it through its paces and find the camera to be responsive and easy to use. I thought that I would be intimidated by the controls, but am picking things up pretty quickly. It's getting me back into photography and makes it all fun again!

I've used D200 extensively and thought it would be the best digital SLR for years to come. However, Nikon surprised me with D300 and it actually makes it easier to create significantly better images.
The D300 has better color, highlights, shadows; it's sharper because it fixes lens flaws, and its superior AF system. Except for the full frame sensor the D300 shares a lot of good things from D3 and comes at a much cheaper price. The D300's tweaks and far more processing power have made it possible to realize superior image quality. These improvements are readily seen in the images you shoot. The D300 has an amazing automatic ability to fix color fringes. This gives better and sharper results. No need to activate this, it just works. On a full battery, I get about 800-900 shots and it is more or less three times you could get in a D200.
There are minor annoyances with D300; the continuous advance doesn't work with built-in flash. Entering lens data for manual lens can be annoying as you have to go through many menus to enter the data, but it's a one time process and it is not a huge bother. Some buttons from D200 have been removed or re-arranged so read the manual or "pocket quick guide" at least so that you know.
This is by far one of the best 35mm digital SLR cameras around. I am sure it is going to stay that way for long. As I don't see any further improvement is necessary. With Nikon's solid build, lots of nice features, fantastic performance, and finally all in a manageable price a five star rating could only do justice to this camera. Just take this camera to the field and use it.
So good I bought two! June 13, 2008

Reading the other reviews you get the idea- a fantastic camera. I bought one for my wife and was so impressed I bought one for myself a week later. I teach advanced imaging (cameras and camcorders) and this is the most well thought out camera system I have used. I like Canon image quality but this is as good but with features that blow Canon away (at least until they catch up)....
Simply the best June 13, 2008

This is simply the best camera for me. I had a used D2X before this and it was great in most ways, but heavy and no flash built in. For the professional, it would have been better but for an advanced hobbyist like me, this is head and shoulders better. And much lighter.
