NIKON D300 SLR

The Images posted here were taken with a Nikon D300 digital SLR camera, which I received on 11 January 2008. This is my third Nikon digital SLR, having owned a D100 and a D200. After spending only a couple of days with the D300, it is obvious that Nikon has produced an amazing machine that is worth the cost.

The difference between the D100 and the D200 could be described as "evolutionary". The difference between the D200 and the D300 can only be described as "revolutionary". It would not be a stretch to call the D300 a "D3-lite" (the D3 is Nikon's current flagship professional digital camera).

The D300 is built like a tank, with rubber gaskets for weather seals. It's not light but, when you pick it up, you feel like you have a real camera in your hands, rather than a computer with a lens attached. The HUGE (3" diagonal) LCD screens on the D3 and D300 are the sharpest, clearest and best in the industry. I also purchased the optional MB-10 battery pack (with vertical shutter release and other controls) and it is much, much better than the one I had on the D200. Noise levels at high ISOs are EXTREMELY low. Many ISO 1600 images will require no post-processing at all and images shot at ISO 3200 are about the same, or better than ISO 1600 images taken with the D200. Even ISO 6400 images are usable, with post-processing noise reduction.
