Digital camera reviews of Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Nikkor Zoom Lens
Digital camera Review: A Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
Known for their outstanding products - especially in the field of photography - Nikon never skimped when it came to their cameras or lenses. Following in this tradition comes the Nikon D300. Not only does it incorporate the Nikon practice of excellence, it actually manages to surpass itself.
Before you look at the price, consider that the D300 (especially coupled with the 18 - 200 lens) is a masterpiece of construction and quality. If you have owned an SLR digital before, setting up is a breeze. The results of the hard efforts that Nikon put into this product are immediately noticeable with your first shot.
The screen is larger than the D200 (and subsequent models). Also, the camera manages to take photos so crisp and sharp that EVERY DETAIL is apparent. Touch-ups via software programs are not needed. The D300 allows you to do some clever editing while taking the shots so that you merely have to load the pictures to your computer/ printer and print them. In fact, it is almost impossible to take a bad shot with this camera.
Adding to the much appreciated bells and whistles you will find that the flash is improved. D-Lighting technology allows you a wide variety of choices. A self-cleaning sensor (via the menu screens) is something that cameras have needed for quite some time. Now throw in the 3 inch VGA monitor (makes editing with the D300 a snap), the 6 frame per seconds shooting capabilities and the 51 points that autofocus allows you and it adds up to everything any photographer could want.
Is it heavy? Weighing in at approximately seven pounds (with the lens), it is but the amount of flexibility and the excellence of the pictures more than make up for this. The body is soundly constructed and a Quick Set Up guide is very generous in details so that you can start taking photos like a pro right out of the box. Just holding it inspires the rawest of photographers to take professional pictures. Is it expensive? Yes but the flexibility, ease of use and choices that the D300 provides the photographer with more than make up for the cost. Not even the smallest detail has been omitted when it comes to this camera. I can not imagine the difference between the D300 and the D3. A generous 12.3 megapixels give your photos amazing clarity and the sharpest details available.
So the weight and the cost can not be factored into the highly professional results the D300 provides to users.
