Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
The main reason I purchased this camera was for my whale photography. I had been shooting with a Nikon D50, and although it did a good job, I needed more. When I heard that the D300 would go to 6fps (8fps with the battery grip), I knew I had to get one.
This camera did not disappoint. The first time I took it out was for gray whales in April. It did a superb job. Next was my first venture photographing orcas. I was on San Juan Island and shooting from the shore. I didn't have the grip (still getting used to the way that feels), and at 6fps I got amazing shots. I took the camera out on a boat a couple of weeks ago and again the results were amazing. I was using the Nikon 70-300VR lens. You can see some of my photos in an article I wrote on photographing orcas:

I am more than happy with my D300 and would recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their camera body. I also don't know why people complain about their battery life as I have absolutely no problems with mine. I do suggest that if you are buying an extra battery, you get the Nikon battery, not a third party. When you are spending this much for a camera body, what you put into it should be only the best.Get more detail about Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only).
