LETS START WITH WHATS NOT GOOD ABOUT IT.... NOTHING EVERYTHINGS GOOD ABOUT IT,THE GOOD BITS ULTRA FAST AUTOFOCUS EASY TO USE /IF YOU HAVE USED NIKON BEFORE,ALL THOSE LOVELY KNOBS AND DIALS ON THE BACK MAKING MODE CHANGING DEAD EASY, PICTURE QUALITY, I COULD RANT ON FOREVER. from Bhphotovideo.com Just received this camera 1 week ago. I had owned D-80, and what an upgrade. The button's are very similar, easy to use. from Bhphotovideo.com For months I pondered over whether to step up to the D3 or go with the D300. While the FX format is indeed appealing my arsenal of lenses are directed towards the DX format. from Bhphotovideo.com I am using this camera to shoot action stuff like surfing and waves with a Aquatech waterhousing. First day I used the gear was magic, 30+ epic shots and it has only gotten better once i got to the tropics. This camera rocks! from Bhphotovideo.com This is a great camera but I wish it would have had some preprogrammed setting such as for sports, landscapes and silhouettes and that the built-in speedlight would autmatically pop up in low light situations. Guess I got spoiled with my D 70. from Bhphotovideo.com I am not a professional photographer or a techie, but I do appreciate good photography and good quality photographic equipment. I wasn't that thrilled with my Nikon D80 and I was very pleased with my Nikon D200 which I was able to buy new for $720.00 (What a deal!.) BUT the desire for this Nikon D300 kept nagging at me as I read more and more reviews. from Amazon.com Prior to buying the D300, I was very familiar with film SLR's and had quite a bit of experience with digital imagery, but this was my first DSLR. I estimated that I was probably over the hump in the learning curve when I purchased this camera. from Amazon.com I have been waiting to write a review about this camera! Amazon does not always ask for a review on some items & others they ask for a revie before you get the product. I just can't wait! from Amazon.com I think this may be the most reviewed camera ever so I'm not going to repeat what has already been said, both pros and cons. I will say that my experience has been over all positive although I haven't used the camera much yet. I keep justifying using the D40 with the Nikon 18-200 lens. The shutter is a little louder than I would want it to be, not sure why more haven't commented on this but it's not a deal breaker by any means. from Amazon.com I am not going to go into a long discussion about what this DSLR can do, I'll just say if you want to take your photography to the next level, this is how you do it. The difference between this and my Nikon D90 is like the difference between a Jaguar and a Ferrari. from Amazon.com
