Nikon D300 is the Best to Buy
The guys at PDN spent some quality time with the 12.3 megapixel Nikon D300 and the prosumer camera as expected manages to impress. According to the review, performance is spot on, the 3D tracking AF system “responsive and the feature set “sophisticated”.
If you are still undecided on the Nikon D300, here is yet another review of the DSLR to get you out of this conundrum. Good Gear Guide reviews the camera and gives it an impressive 4 and half stars out of 5.
The camera was loved for its “brilliant” image quality, its good colour balance, low noise and its LCD. However at times the D300 produced some minor haloing in high contrast areas.
Good Gear Guide concludes “Simply put, Nikon’s D300 is one of the finest cameras on the market. Its image quality matches competing models”.
However the D300 is not devoid of faults as one also found image noise in higher resolution and some of the images were found to be too “soft”. If you have a D300 (or are thinking of getting one), Nikon has an interactive D300 Digitutor web site with movies on how to use the D300’s new features.
I encourage anyone who’s bought a Nikon D300 digital camera to share your own experiences (good and bad) here on the blog by posting a comment. (I’ll save you one post; yes—I still want a D3; it is the next level of camera up from the D300, and it is just remarkable, but at its price; it should be).
