Summary for Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera ...- Love my D300
Notes on Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera ...- I've only had this camera for what seems a very short while. I bought it refurbished from Cameta through Amazon. It seemed like I was taking a chance in order to get quite a price break. I can tell you that it was worth it. I have had no problems with the camera. It came with all the standard accessories. Other merchants were selling refurbished D300 cameras but they did not come with all of the manufacturer's standard accessories.
I feel as though I have just scratched the surface of the features that this camera offers. I upgraded from a Nikon D1H with 2.7 megapixels. I got quite an increase in picture detail. I am quite pleased that I am able to use all of my Nikkor lenses that have the AI mount and anything newer. I am very impressed with the wide exposure latitute this camera offers (if I use that term correctly having used film SLRs since 1971). The noise reduction is as good as they said it would be. I was concerned about that due to Nikon's reputation for not having the best noise reduction in its DSLRs of the past. This camera handles it well.
The 3 inch monitor is wonderful unless you're in bright sunlight. My only criticism of the camera is that I find myself looking at my own reflection rather than the image I have just taken.
I recently took my wife's portrait because she needed an 8X10 for a head shot. The best frame turned out to be a horizontal one and I cropped it quite a bit to get a vertical print. You would never know from the quality of the print that it had been cropped from perhaps 30 to 40 percent of the frame. I don't think I could have done this with my 2.7 megapixel camera.
I look forward to a lot more fun and productive picture taking using the Nikon D300 and I recommend it highly.

Notes on Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera ...- I purchased this camera before visiting Cape May, NJ to bird watch. The 51 point AF system is awesome if you have the proper lens to take advantage of the camera's capabilities. It is fast and has the horsepower to meet the needs of all but the most demanding photographers (who will purchase the D3).
I was initially concerned with the weight, but after using it a few times, I did not notice the extra weight compared to my D50. It actually fit my hands better.
Lastly, having the flash commander mode was wonderful. I used in with a remote SB600 without issue. I loved having the ability to dial in the exposure for the on-camera flash and the SB600 from the menus in the D300. I took family portraits at the beach near sunset. I set the exposure for the ambient conditions and had the proper flash settings within a couple of test-shots (and I'm not a pro either - this is very easy to do with the Commander mode enabled). Even with the ambient light changing each minute, I coule easily change the settings to exposure and the flash to account for the reduced available light.
I highly recommend this camera to everyone I meet.

Notes on Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera ...- D300 is my first dslr and I am so happy with that. I bought it with the 10-135mm lens and it is perfect for everyday shooting. My last camera was Coolpix 8800 and I am not going to compare it with d300. If you are planning to buy your first DSLR, D300 is the best.

Notes on Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera ...- The Nikon D300 is one of those 'keep forever' cameras with capabilities more than any serious photographer could want, except of course cheaper price. I am almost overwhelmed by the options and versatility of this camera. I travel a lots and have graduated from an Olympus OM-3(film) to digital point and shoot and now the D300. Happy birthday to me from me.

Notes on Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera ...- The first, the very first image from the Nikon D300 with it's 18-200mm lens (all around lens for me) showed me I had made the right choice.
Snapped an image of neighbor across street standing beneath his American
flag. On the computer screen I could see the stitches in his pants and some loose threads hanging from the flag's edge.
There are many features and options on the camera I personally will not need (it is loaded) but I believe it will fit each amature and professional requirements alike whatever they are.
