Digital Home Thoughts: TrustedReviews Looks at the Nikon D300 Digital SLR

"The D300 is the third-generation product of Nikon's successful semi-pro series which started off with the D100 back in early 2002. The D100 was a very long-lived model, and wasn't superseded until the launch of the D200 in late 2005. The 10.2-megapixel D200 is still available, costing around £800 body-only, or around £1,650 with the same 17-55mm f/2.8 zoom lens seen in this review. The D300 joins it in Nikon's range, providing a short step before the giddy heights of the 12.8-megapixel full-frame D3 professional camera, costing around £3,400 body-only. The D300 was launched at the same time as the D3 in August last year, and shares many of that camera's features, however it has a 12.3-megapixel APS-C sized CMOS sensor, which as far as I know is the same Sony sensor as found in the Sony Alpha A700."



If you're looking for another point of view on the Nikon D300, here's Cliff Smith's take from Trusted Reviews. Overall, it's s decent article, though without image samples, it's hard to show people what you're talking about (Trusted Reviews never seems to include image samples or video samples). Owning the D300 myself, I can say it's the most amazing camera I've ever used - but it makes more sense to show you why I'm so happy with it. Watch for my next post coming up quick...
