Introduction
I have held my ground as a film photographer for a very long time. In my opinion, slide film still produces superb image quality that CMOS or CCD image sensor has yet to compare and succeed. Quite frankly, viewing an image on a slide film is far more gratifying to a photographer's... Read full review »

Nikon D300 -- Almost worth the hype

bysweeper Jun 9, 2008
41 Helpfuls 42 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Ultimately capable with a feature set approaching that of the Pro D3.
Cons Some mechanical design misses that detract from an otherwise superb camera.
Recommended it? Yes

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 Camera of the Year in 2004. It remains a great camera and one... Read full review »

The Nikon D300: Great Image Quality, Awesome Speed, But Still Some Reliability Questions.

Introduction

I've been shooting with a Nikon D200 for over a year now for my digital work. At low ISO with professional quality lenses, the D200 continues to impress me. At high ISO (800 and above), the D200 does not impress me. Indeed, I've generally stayed away from these higher... Read full review »

Pros Speed and more speed, value, improved low noise, pro everything
Cons Very expensive and complex for the inexperienced.
Recommended it? Yes

I now have a D30o to review in full. I hope this review will give potential buyers some help in making the decision of an upgrade or initial DSLR purchase.

You may now see a video of the D300 with some comparisons to the Canon 40D at:

Rewarding camera but you've got to earn it

18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros build quality, professional features, ergonomics, picture quality, almost endlessly...
Cons weight, cost, learning curve
Recommended it? Yes

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 long-term Nikon D70 user. Hopefully I'll be... Read full review »

Great 'Feel'

byvicw Mar 8, 2008
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros D lighting, fantastic metering and dust protected sensor.
Cons It does weigh a few pounds.
Recommended it? Yes

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 has the most comfortable and pro feeling...

Noticeably better than D200

bygeneyoung Dec 5, 2007
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Truly great looking shots right out of the box. Rich, vibrant colors and accurate focus.
Cons Cost, no scene modes
Recommended it? Yes

I agree with Sailingshot about the significant improvement of the D300 over the D200. I have owned a D70 and a D200. The D300 is the first DSLR that I have owned that takes pictures in the Program (Automatic) mode that make you say WOW! I have been disappointed with my previous DSLRs, including the...

D300 vs D2x

byognek Oct 23, 2008
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good price, clean high iso images, live view and fast AF
Cons No real ISO 100, expensive to go 8fps.
Recommended it? Yes

I have had the pleasure of owning Nikon DSLRs since the D1x, and have owned the following Nikon DSLRs: D70, D80, D200, D2h and the D2x. What I have noticed that every time I upgrade a camera the difference between the previous camera has been less and less, let’s put the case of my first upgrade,... Read full review »

Cons Poor image quality from my D300

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 DSLR user and spent many hours reading the manual... Read full review »

test of the new Nikon D300 SLR

byscobert Dec 3, 2007
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great pro features at a reasonable price (for a pro camera).
Cons A lengthy owners manual.
Recommended it? Yes

I consider the D300 camera body to be a big upgrade over both Nikon's D200 and D2X D-SLRs for low light action photography. I specialize in shooting fast action live dance in low light. This is like trying to photograph a basketball game with a three stop neutral density filter on the lens. I... Read full review »
