Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Got this as an upgrade from the Nikon D40 (which I had for about 1 week), a D200, (which I had for a couple of days). I've had this for about 2 months, and it have journeyed over 2000 clicks with me.
Pro's:
-beautiful 3 inch LCD screen. This was my primary drive for getting this camera. It makes previewing your shots a pleasure. The LCD screen is bright enough even to view in sunlight.
-long battery life, you can shoot all day long, and still have some charge left. Buy an additional battery and you are clearly set for all day shooting (The battery life is greatly improved over the d200)
-sturdy construction. This thing is built like a rock. I brought this on the slopes of keystone Colorado snowboarding in January, and it braved the cold weathers and bumps nicely (I managed not to drop it in the snow, but I'm sure it would have survived that)
-nice sticky grip. The surface is some kind of rubbery substance that encourages you not to drop it. (helps a lot with one hand grip holding)
-easy layout of controls.
-a plethora of features, liveview, active dlighting, menu customization
-great high ISO shooting.
-nice auto focus system
-fantastic pictures
Cons:
-a little heavy. (hefting this camera with the 70-200vr plus a camera bag with a couple other lenses all day around a zoo will make you tired. =) ) Note, heavy is actually a pro too, as it very nicely balances out lenses like 17-55 and 70-200, as those lenses are heavy by themselves.
-live view is a little clunky, and sluggish
This is a very nice piece of equipment. It's so nice, it makes you want to love it more and more, and take more pictures with it. =)Get more detail about Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only).
