| The D300 is a Pro-level D-SLR with a 12.3-MP DX-format CMOS sensor with Nikon EXPEED Image Processing System and large, 3-inch 920,000-dot color LCD.
Praised by editors, the Nikon D300 was named one of American PHOTO’s top cameras. Editors applauded many of its features including its high ISO output and its weather-resistant magnesium-alloy body. They also featured the D300’s self-cleaning sensor and wireless Live View remote shooting capabilities. |
| The D300 builds on the solid success of the immensely popular D200 and defines a new class of compact professional SLR.
It incorporates groundbreaking technologies and performance of the D3 into a compact DX format body. The 12.3 megapixel CMOS sensor features a self-cleaning dust removal unit and delivers resolution suitable for commercial and stock photography. The EXPEED image processing engine supports a class-leading 6fps at up to 3200 ISO, and delivers superb tonal gradation. Its advanced Scene Recognition System produces superior exposures and is complimented by Nikon’s next-generation 51-point AF system, which offers broad coverage and high sensitivity in low light. Selectable Picture Controls streamline in-camera image processing, saving time in post-production, and the high definition 3-inch LCD screen supports two Live View modes plus a HDMI video output. Responsive, rugged and light, the D300 offers new levels of performance for pros on a budget. |
| Popular Photography & Imaging bestowed a great honor upon the D300 D-SLR, granting it the “2007 Camera of the Year Award”. The magazine’s editors swooned over the D300’s design and performance, touting that it “refines and redefines digital photography,” and ultimately “raises the benchmark for every camera maker”. The editors praised the D300 for its incredible lowlight performance, “sophisticated” 51-point autofocus, and lightning quick burst mode. What’s more, Popular Photography & Imaging’s editorial staff applauded the D300’s “astoundingly sharp” LCD display and live view focus modes. The D300 was chosen over seven other cameras from various manufacturers as the recipient of this prestigious award. |
| Harold Davis : "OK. I'm going to give the punch line away. I love my new Nikon D300. I love this camera with a passion that rivals that of my feelings for some film cameras in the days of yore like my Leicas, my Nikon FM2, and my large format Deardorf. This is the first digital Single Lens Reflex (dSLR) that I've used that approaches what a dSLR should be, and maybe even the Platonic ideal of a dSLR. This is definitely not the "Chef of the Past" or your father's camera. The D300 gives a pretty good sense of what digital cameras for serious prosumers are likely to be in the future." |
