Nikon D300s review

Hello everyone, My name is Daniel and I'm about as serious as you can and be considered "amateur". I was taking pictures on SLR since I was 10 years old on a Minolta film and I bought my first DSLR (a Nikon D50) and since then I have owned everything from a baseline Canon XSi all the way to the best camera I've ever handled ... the D300. I made the D3, D3S, D3x and the top of the range professional Canons $ 10k and is still my favorite all around camera. Here is the breakdown for that I love this camera and I'll give you a list of advantages and disadvantages. I love this device for many reasons ... [...]... not many people can not justify spending another $ 4000 (2-3 times more money) when they are looking to spend about $ 1,500 - $ 2,000 for a good digital SLR. So here are the advantages I see in D300 on the other Nikon consumer models.


1. if you are in sport D300 has a higher continuous frame than other models, including the D700 ever so popular full frame. With a DX sensor has a crop factor of 1.5 which means more bang for your Buck when using a telephoto lens. If you buy the MB-D10 battery pack, it will be shot at speeds even higher 8fps when using continuous shooting and also allows for a maximum of almost 5,000 photos taken on a single charge (with the days when the battery is purchased). With 51 auto-focus and 3-D tracking you are almost guaranteed to have your subject in focus every time you take a picture. The D300 also features Active D lighting, which allows both ends of your photos properly exposed so you do not end up with areas of under and over exposure which tend to be common in sport and landscape photography dark

2. Freedom: although all Nikon digital SLR allows you to manually adjust your settings are difficult to change until you get to the semi-pro D300 model. If you understand f-stops, DOF, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, discussion points, light metering and other technical jargon and I really want to experiment with all these and a D300 is the 'camera for you. with shooting modes, including: simple, cont. low speed, high speed, timer and silent mode mirror device that gives you the freedom you could ever ask for.

3. Learning: this camera you will learn the truth and out of photography. With highly accurate photometer is not very difficult to get the right exposure. Whatever your ISO and F stop is.

4. User interface. With Live View and a dedicated button for new info on the D300 the D300 initial time it crops the menu down significantly but it has more memory card hatch release switch. The D300 includes features such as custom menus, easy to understand menus with the classic (?) Button which will explain all the camera functions in an easy to understand terms. On the fly changes with the ISO, WB, quality, shooting modes, a user adjusted Fn button, AF / AE lock, light metering, and adjustments af. Thus, the only limits are imagination. Choose your focal point is as easy as looking in the viewfinder and press the directional button and watching the movements of the lever until you have exactly the right place selected. With two selectors (one for shutter speed and f stop to another), you can never have to take your eye on the viewfinder.

The bottom line (why you choose this over any other Nikon digital SLR):
Why you choose this over the D90: 51point AF w / 3D tracking, more frames per second, the control settings of the image, not much more money for more freedom and creativity, Auto Contrast -focusing during films, the ability to use the card slots Double (CF and SD), 14bit RAW, Active D Lighting.

During the D700: 12MP full when using DX lenses rather than 5MP, fps, 600 $ - $ 1,000 less, video mode, the smaller pixels for further refinement at low ISO, a coverage of 100% Viewfinder

During the D3 and D3x: a ton of money, shooting speed, optimization of DX and FX lenses and film mode, and built in flash, a 100% coverage viewfinder, which allows better supervision.

This is a great camera, it should be noted RESULT !!!!!

The D700, D3, x, s have photo sensors that allow an FX camera much larger and brighter view, it also allows a broader view (no crop factor of 1.5 as the DX), which means if you want more pictures in your area for things such as landscapes and the D700 or D3 programming may be a better option, because a 50mm lens in a camera DX looks the same as a objective on a 75mm camera FX.

The D700 and D3 range (less D3x) use the large sensor and FX are still only building 12MP which means that the pixels are larger, allowing greater color depth, better definition in the shadows, and greater clarity of high ISO. The D300 can go to ISO 6400 range but the image quality is poor at best when the D3 ISO 6400 can take all day and look great. The D700 is also better at high ISO than the D300 because she has the same sensor as the D3, however, the D3 is even better than the D700 at extreme ISOs. But also consider that over the image sensor more depth of field so that the D700 and the D3 are better for macro or portrait and the D300 will give you a greater DOF equivalent to about one f-stop.

THIS IS NOT A VIDEO CAMERA video is quite good and the use of lenses is a great feature but if you want a good video spend money on a video camera. Even a Flip HD is better. The camera produces video well, but it does not do well for pan if you plan to put the camera on a tripod and shooting then by all means to an end and with the possibility for an external microphone for give you the stereo sound is Nice.

When it comes to portability, price, features, weight, ergonomics, adjusting images ect. I personally believe that he can not do better, I hope this review helped and I hope you get one too and really enjoy it as much as me. This camera is the best of worlds. "I save money from a multi-camera effects and buy a very nice goal, two or three for that matter. Anyway here is the camera of my dreams and I hope the camera in your bag soon I promise you'll like it, I know I do.

UPDATE: For all you photographers HDR look no further than the D300 you can easily create HDR photos by selecting the "multiple risk" and putting up exhibitions step to + or - EV exposure and after exposure are carried voila you have a beautiful HDR photo. Keep in mind you will need a cable release (I recommend the MC-36) for multiple exposures. OR take some photos of different exposures and stack Photos in the Retouch menu closed, and there you have HDR photos perfect every time! Goodbye Photoshop (for HDR anyway)

The D300 and compatible flash: I noticed hardly anyone has mentioned the fantastic flash compatibility with the D300 on many cameras. I thought it would be covered So here it goes: The D300 is a dream to work with when combined with any Nikon Speedlight dynamic lighting system. My favorite and most frequently used is the flash SB-600 Speedlight that can be operated wirelessly, at no extra cost with the D300, you need to know what settings to change. Unlike the D3, which must have either a unit controller Claw flash or SB-800 ($ 900) the D300 can use an almost unlimited number of flashes wirelessly without any accessories. So if you're like so many others and have a Nikon SB-600 will support and maintain the "Zoom" and "-" button simultaneously to get to custom menu and scroll until you Squiggly can adjust the Z-shaped line and turn on Yes and it defaults to channel 3 then either press and hold the "zoom" and "-" to exit or just push the power button. Then go to "Custom Settings Menu" (pencil) onto your D300 and change "" E3 "cntrl flash to flash" in the remote control mode and set to channel 3, and display your built in flash and there you go ... ABSOLUTELY FREE WIRELESS with Flash Exposure Compensation perfect at any time by using a unit of $ 250 flash. Hope it helps someone I know it helped me to have fun and remember to convert to TTL flash when you're done.
