The Gadget: Nikon's D300 is a 12.3MP camera with 200-6400 (hi mode) ISO, a 3-inch LCD, 51 autofocus points and a prosumer magnesium body on the fence, but teetering more towards pro than consumer. Inside is a DX-sensor, not quite the FX sensor found in the better D3 and D700 cams. It's not directly competitive with…

At 825 grams, the Nikon D300 is more than heavy, but if you're a keen photographer and have an eye for detail, the D300 will prove itself with great image quality shot after shot. However, first time photographers and social-snappers might find this dSLR slightly overwhelming.

The Nikon D300 revamps the much-lauded D200 and includes surprises such as the new, 12.3-megapixel, DX format CMOS Sony built sensor, similar to that found in Sony’s new A700 D-SLR. Billed as a “professional” model by Nikon I see no reason to doubt them.

Nikon D300 (DSLR Camera): 4.7 out of 5 stars from 7 genuine reviews on Australia's largest opinion site ProductReview.com.au.

I get to see an awful lot of digital cameras and I get to read a heap of instruction books and PDF files purporting to explain the workings of the cameras. And all are inadequate! Third party manuals like this one from Simon Stafford fill an essential need in the whole business. This Nikon D300 […]

We've already seen a rather thorough preview of a pre-production model, and gone hands-on with it ourselves, but those still undecided about Nikon's semi-pro D300 DSLR now have yet another bit of info to inform their potential purchase, this one coming in the form of a full review from the folks at Photography Blog.

Just under two years since the D200 Nikon reveals the D300, the range of changes is so significant that it wouldn't be inappropriate to call it a 'compact D3' (less the full-frame sensor of course). From the top there's a new CMOS sensor with twelve megapixels, a new auto-focus sensor with 51-points (15 of which are cross-type sensitive), there's focus tracking by color, scene recognition, Picture Control presets, six frames per second continuous shooting (or eight frames per second with a battery pack), Compact Flash UDMA support, Live View (with contrast detect AF) and the mighty impressive 3.0" 922,000 pixel LCD monitor (oh and HDMI video output). It's an impressive list, the D200 was a fair step up from the D100, the D300 can be seen as just as big a step, certainly more than enough to make the competition sweat.
