nikon01The Nikon D300 is the world’s best amateur camera. Forget the old D2Xs, which sells used for about the same price today. The D2Xs is 2004 technology that predates the D200!The Nikon D300 is far more revolutionary than its specifications suggest. It completely obsoletes everything that came before it, and especially sends the D200 and D2Xs to the dumpsters of digital history.

Dcresource.com about Nikon D300 Digital Camera Review:- The D300 doesn’t come with a memory card, so you’ll need to pick one up if you don’t have one already. Like its predecessor, the D300 has a CompactFlash slot that supports both Type I and Type II cards. It also supports the super high-speed UDMA CF cards. I’d recommend buying a high speed 2GB card, at the very least.If you buy either of the lens kits, then you’re ready to go right away. If you didn’t, then you should know that you can attach nearly any F-mount Nikkor lens in existence.

The D300 delivers best-in-class battery life, beating the second place EOS-40D by 20%. It’s also way better than the D200, even though they use they use the same battery — weird.

Imaging-resource.com about Nikon D300 Digital Camera Review:- Nikon’s D300 displaces the D200 at the top of the prosumer DX lineup, but it does not replace it. The D200 will live on. But many D200 owners might take an interest in the D300’s new features. The Nikon D300’s increased resolution, 14-bit A/D conversion, and a frame rate of six frames-per-second will pique their interest. The new Scene Recognition System that merges data from the AF system with data from the 1,005-point metering system for greater accuracy and better tracking will draw them closer; but it’s probably the new 51-point AF system that fairly dominates the DX-sized frame and includes 15 cross-type sensors will entice them the most. The 920,000 pixel, 3-inch LCD is just gravy.nikon02
