Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)

I have owned many cameras of all sizes over the years including several different professional level cameras when I owned a studio and color photo lab. I did portrait and wedding photography for many years. Back then you didn't dare show up to shoot a wedding using a 35mm camera. (I used Hasselblads). I owned several Nikon 35mm cameras...the last being the Nikon F3 which I used for vacation and nature shots. When I retired I made the switch to digital and I used both Nikon and Sony products to record travel and family events. Digital initially wasn't too impressive but has evolved into a medium that depending on the equipment can exceed film in print quality and in all cases ...ease of use. Now...35mm size SLR digital cameras are the norm for weddings and most other events.
I recently bought a Nikon D300 and have to say that this is by far one of the best camera I have ever owned. The quality of the pics at even high ISO's of 1600, 3200 and even 6400 are pretty amazing. With most other digital cameras that I have used the photos start noticeably coming apart at around 400 or 800 and at higher ISO's usually weren't acceptable for printing larger prints.
The Nikon D300 is solidly built and a joy to use. There is a little bit of a learning curve..(the Manual is 461 pages long)...depending on your degree of photo expertise. At this point in time I can't see myself buying any other camera for years to come. As far as anything negative the only thing I can think of is that the camera is a little on the heavy side. I did a lot of online research... reading testing and feedback reports... before I bought this camera. In all cases the Nikon D300 received high marks.Get more detail about Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only).
