The D300 is Excellent and Fun to Use!

Date of Review:  Oct 17, 2008
The Bottom Line: Quite a formidable D-SLR camera I own thus far. Almost as good as my favorite slide film. A very flexible and customizable digital SLR camera!
Review: 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...

Nikon D300 -- Almost worth the hype

Date of Review:  Jun 9, 2008
The Bottom Line: With a fabulous feature set, mostly solid mechanical design, the D300 is the ultimate advanced amateur camera on the market today.
Review: 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...

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

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 2007
The Bottom Line: Conditionally recommended - great features and image quality, but still some questionable reliability, outdated live view mode, and no in-camera image stabilization,
Review: 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,...

The Nikon Revolution

Date of Review:  Sep 21, 2007
The Bottom Line: This is the best crop sensor DSLR currently on the market,
Review: 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

Date of Review:  Sep 22, 2008
The Bottom Line: All the camera the keen amatuer will ever need. it asks a lot, but gives a great deal.
Review: 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...

Great 'Feel'

Date of Review:  Mar 8, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is a pro camera that will function well after serious abuse.
Review: 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...

Noticeably better than D200

Date of Review:  Dec 5, 2007
The Bottom Line: Upgrade if you can. Because of its great performance in automatic mode you can get great photos while learning the nuances of your camera.
Review: 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...

D300 vs D2x

Date of Review:  Oct 23, 2008
The Bottom Line: Currently Nikon's best cropped sensor body.
Review: 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...

Disappointed in the D300

Date of Review:  Jun 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: Try the D300 out first hand before committing to it.
Review: 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...

test of the new Nikon D300 SLR

Date of Review:  Dec 3, 2007
Review: 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...
