  • Very good resolution and detail without looking over-processed, even up to ISO 1600, Better balanced noise reduction than most; more chroma NR, less luminance NR, High ISO 3200 perfectly usable (if slightly softer due to NR), ISO 6400 usable for small out...
  • No timed mirror lock-up function (could be automatic with self-timer), Non-articulating LCD (increases the usefulness of Live View considerably), Average automatic white balance performance, still very poor under incandescent light
  • The D200 was a big step forward for Nikon, the baby D2X certainly gave the competition a thing or two to think about. Its big problem was the fact that Canon was still a generation ahead in the noise stakes, managing to consistently deliver clean im...

  • Abstract:  by Shawn BarnettNikon's D300 is a photographer's camera. There are no Scene modes, not even a Green Auto mode to make the camera do it all for you. As such, the flash doesn't have a mode where it pops up automatically. But if you know what you're doing, t...

  • Abstract:  An expensive camera, but one offering superb image quality, features and handling Consumer-level DSLRs such as the A-Listed Canon 400D and Nikon D40x offer an excellent route into serious digital photography but, after a certain amount of time, users a...

  • This camera is so responsive it is an extension of the eye. See the subject, think the photo, press the shutter and there is a properly exposed, sharp picture in all its 14 bit RAW colour depth glory. Nikon ergonomics have always been the best and they...
  • The dioptre adjustment on the viewfinder is so stiff that it can only be moved at the cost of a broken fingernail.
  • The D300 is in a class of its own. The Sony a700 shares the same CMOS sensor and LCD screen and costs considerably less, and the Olympus E-3 is a few hundred dollars cheaper and they are both cameras worth considering. But if money is no object then th...

  • Extensive manual features, Good quality photos on all settings, Large, clear LCD, Easy access to adjustment wheels
  • Heavy and buljy, Awkward four-way jog wheel, Nikons fish-eye lens blocks the pop-up flash
  • At 825 grams, the Nikon D300 is more than heavy, but if youre a keen photographer and have an eye for detail, the D300 will prove itself with great image quality shot after shot. However, first time photographers and social-snappers might find this d...

  Published: 2007-11-01, Author: Margaret , review by: photoreview.com.au

  • Abstract:  Nikons new D300 DSLR camera slots in above the D200 pro-sumer model but does not replace it. Although five grams lighter, the new model has essentially the same sturdy body as the D200, with a magnesium alloy chassis and dust- and moisture-proof sea...
