Articles and Reviews

professional reviews
  •   Nikon D300 Overview   Imaging Resource 
    • "Nikon's D300 is a photographer's camera. There are no Scene modes, not even a Green Auto mode to make the camera do it all for you. As such, the flash doesn't have a mode where it pops up automatically. But if you know what you're doing, there's plenty that the Nikon D300 will do for you."
  •   Camera Test: Nikon D300   PopPhoto.Net 
    • From the outside, the D300 looks a lot like the D200. But what's on the inside pushed the D300 to new performance records in the Pop Photo Lab.

    12 Jul 2008***** Great camera for serious photographer This is a fantastic camera. I upgraded from D200 and happy that Nikon made the D300. They have changed around many of the menu items I was use to from my D200, but that is worth the better quality when I shoot at higher ISO's. I higly recommend for any serious photographer.... –Kodie Joifrom Amazon.com
    09 Jul 2008***** Outstandng camera Instant on, immediate take when you push the shutter button, focuses instantly on what you want depending on how you set the focus area, and takes better pictures than my Maxxum 7 did. I currently use only one lens, the 18 - 200; but plan on getting another soon with faster aperture for fine work. I currently use mine for travel when backpacking; but also for pictures in the ER where I work. These I use for teaching purposes for the medical students who rotate with us. A very fine piece of hardw... –J. McMahonfrom Amazon.com
    04 Jul 2008**** Great product, but poor shipment Nikon D300 is very good camera, but it took 3 weeks to ship the item to my place, poor package. –W. JIANfrom Amazon.com
