This is a gem

"This is a great camera. Some people do not like some small things, every camera on the market has that problem. It is built like a tank, handles rain here in Florida with no problem. Some might think it is a bit heavy with the battery pack, but I use the 80-200 F 2.8 with it all the time. This is a very reliable piece of equipment.

"I upgraded from the D200 after reading the glowing reviews- they are all true! This camera builds on the strengths of the D200, while improving on the shortcomings of its predecessor. One of the most frustrating experiences with the D200 was its myriad of focus point settings. The D300 simplifies th …"  Read Full Review »

"I've had my D300 (my second) for a few months now, and I'm still plumbing the depths of what it is truly capable of!

This baby is more than a camera body... it's a precision instrument!

Recording great images is really what this camera is all about!

"I am a part time Photojournalist for Motorsportsforum.com and I cover NASCAR and Dirt Track Racing on the East Coast.
