Summary: A camera that allows you to hold it
Comment: Since I moved from the D70s to D300 it has further increased my pleasure to press the gentle button to capture a moment. This camera is extremely stable, especially with the VR function in the Nikon Lens. The menu has many choices to enable specific photography. Also the continuous shooting is a real improvement and makes very beautiful action-pictures. Very pleasant is its LED matrix focus device that can be seen in the viewer. Real super technology for the amateur/professional photographer.
Amazon.com is giving the best price/package ratio, after my search on both the web and specialized shops in the DC area.

Summary: Excellent Camera!!
Comment: The Nikon D300 is one of the most versatile advanced amateur DSLRs on the market. In fact, I have built most of my wedding photography business around this camera and its extraordinary potential. At this time, the Nikon D90 has lowered the demand for the D300 which means that its cost has gone down a few hundred dollars from when I purchased it. What a great time to buy!
Similarities to the D3:
1. 51 autofocus points.
2. 8 frames per second (with the battery grip; 6.5 fps without)
3. Customization of features for quick changes in camera settings in the field
4. Excellent weatherproofing
5. Active D-LIghting
Advancements over the D90:
1. D90 features 4.5 fps versus 6.5 on D300
2. D90 cannot meter with old manual focus lenses
3. D90 is not weather-sealed
4. D90 has 11 autofocus points versus 51 on D300
5. D90's fastest shutter speed is 1/4000 vs 1/8000 with D300
6. D90's viewfinder offers only 96% coverage vs. D300's 100%
7. D90 has a 100,000 shutter cycle vs. the D300's 150,000
8. D90 is limited in customization
9. D90's max flash sync speed is 1/250 vs D300's 1/320
10. D90 does not use the professional speed CF Cards.
Are these features enough to convince you to go for this camera? That is up to you, but for me, they are plenty to keep me using this DSLR as my primary camera for (maybe) years to come!
Best-
Jason

Comment: Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
This camera is everything it's cracked up to be. It was missing the eye piece cover for timed shots; Amazon made good on it immediatly.

Summary: Buy It On Amazon
Comment: I researched this camera on Amazon, but because it was so complex, I bought it at my local camera store (Shutterbug), paying full retail for the "customer support". BIG MISTAKE. They don't help you at all! They don't even put in the battery or show you anything. I got much more and better support for this when I bought my lenses and extra's from Amazon and it's partners. They will spend an hour with you on the phone talking you through setting it up, even though you didn't buy it from them. Cameta and Adorama are especially good. So, save some money, don't be a sucker like me, and buy your camera from Amazon! BTW, this is one great camera. Really complex, but wonderful. Buy the book "Nikon D300 Digital Field Guide" by J. Dennis Thomas with it!
