This is such a well designed camera. The controls are set up so they are right at your fingertips. The display is large and the menus are easy to read. It's a camera you can use quickly if you just need to grab it out of the bag. One feature I like the best is the selectable White balance- I use this all the time. You can choose your own Kelvin setting to achieve nice color effects. It's a great buy!

Excellent primary camera. Meets and exceeds required needs. What can I say: it's a Nikon. Metal body a real plus. Just wish it had the larger sensor found on the D700

I use two Nikon bodies, one for my 24-70mm and one for my 70-200mm. One is a D300 and the other is my older D200. The lens I am going to use most that day goes onto my D300 because it gets far better image quality in all conditions when compared to the D200. I was shocked at this actually, because I didn't know that I needed to replace my D200. Gets great image quality for the newspaper all the way up to ISO 3200 which is the most I have had to use on one occasion (I typically use ISO 2000 in low light conditions). The D200 gets really ugly images even at ISO 800. DX formfactor gives me more reach to get closer to my subject and works in the sweetspot of my FX format lenses. I will be buying another D300 to replace the now wholly inadequate D200. I looked at the D700, but again, I prefer the DX format and the loss of quality over the D700 in low light conditions isn't really a problem because newspaper doesn't demand the highest of quality.

I purchased this camera for the live view and I admit I didn't do enough research. It could never be used for anything but still life! The camera has no lag time at all. I am use to the D80 and absuletely love it. It is going to take me sometime to use the 300 in my work. I just dont have the time to get use to the differences in the 2 cameras. Check out all the details you can find before buying a big camera.
