Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
The D300 is completely revolutionary. I have been shooting on a d200 and a d70s for the past few years, and this completely changes the way I am able to shoot. There are a few notable qualities; Active D-Lighting, High ISO Performance, and Focusing.
After fooling around with the active d-lighting, I have come to realize how amazing a tool it can be if utilized correctly. It will pretty much add a little more contrast and pop to your images. Portraits look great with it.
In terms of focusing, the new 51 point 3D tracking system is amazing. I shot a few pictures of sports, and it worked flawlessly with my 70-200 2.8 vr lens.
Finally, the ISO performance at high ISOs is unbelievable. On my d200, I can shoot up until about 800 or so without getting some grain. However, the d300 is able to shoot up to 1600, or even 2000 without much grain. And pictures shot at LOW-1.0, which is the equivalent of ISO 100, are simply gorgeous. My fast f2.8 lens is going to lose a bit of its usefulness because of the ability to shoot at higher ISOs without worrying about grain.
In short, this camera is completely revolutionary for its price range. Canon has something to worry about now. Good job Nikon!
