Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Nikkor Zoom Lens
Customer Review: A camera that allows you to hold it
Summary: 5 Stars
Since I moved from the D70s to D300 it has further increased my pleasure to press the gentle button to capture a moment. This camera is extremely stable, especially with the VR function in the Nikon Lens. The menu has many choices to enable specific photography. Also the continuous shooting is a real improvement and makes very beautiful action-pictures. Very pleasant is its LED matrix focus device that can be seen in the viewer. Real super technology for the amateur/professional photographer.
Amazon.com is giving the best price/package ratio, after my search on both the web and specialized shops in the DC area.
Customer Review: A milestone camera
Summary: 5 Stars
The Nikon D300 is one of those 'keep forever' cameras with capabilities more than any serious photographer could want, except of course cheaper price. I am almost overwhelmed by the options and versatility of this camera. I travel a lots and have graduated from an Olympus OM-3(film) to digital point and shoot and now the D300. Happy birthday to me from me.Customer Review: Unbeliveable clarity and sharp and crisp
Summary: 5 Stars
The first, the very first image from the Nikon D300 with it's 18-200mm lens (all around lens for me) showed me I had made the right choice.
Snapped an image of neighbor across street standing beneath his American
flag. On the computer screen I could see the stitches in his pants and some loose threads hanging from the flag's edge.
There are many features and options on the camera I personally will not need (it is loaded) but I believe it will fit each amature and professional requirements alike whatever they are.
Customer Review: A great camera !
Summary: 5 Stars
Have my new Nikon 300D with 18-200 lens approx. a month.
Just returned from 2+ weeks in Alaska and my pics are great.
Have been playing with different settings and if one reads the manual or some of the excellent guides that are available all should be smooth.
A camera for the here and now and for years to come.
A winner in every sense. Experiment and you will be rewarded. I use my polarizering filter and the results are great.
If you want quality construction and Nikon reliability get this camera.
All other manufacturers strive to equal this one,so why get a 'knock-off' ?
Great for anyone who loves photography and wants more than holding your camera at arms length to capture those memorable times.
No different than reading a book or just picking up a synopsis .
Spend the money,spend the time using your brain and discover the world !!
Customer Review: Nikon D-300 first photos for vacation to Alaska came out goo-to-poor on 18-200mm
Summary: 3 Stars
Bought this D300 with 18-200mm package based on the all reviews here for Alaska vacation just week before we left. Pictures came out good to poor and wildlife/landscape pictures came out very soft to soft at 200mm. Lens is not sharp as lot of pics shot wide angle 18mm and telephoto 200mm are soft. Disappointed. Also, lack of experience with Nikon D300 may have hurt me. Initial pictures were shot with RAW+Fine JPEG (14 bit loseless uncompressed) but that slowed D300 in taking pics and took up lot of memory so switched to fine JPEGs with optimal quality. That worked fine. Found Noise in the pics after came home as I had not changed factory camera settings and auto ISO caused some shots taken at 400-800 ISO with noise. Also, somehow factory settings had all my pics shot as bracketed 0EV and then next one -1.0EV for all of them. This will ruin my panoramic pics of landscapes and make my job harder in trying to correct it.
I would rate this camera with 18-200mm VR II lens package 3 stars based on picture quality and performance. Complex menu system with lots of options.
Also, I would like to see Nikon include robust RAW software free instead of buying it.
Hopefully with more experience and lot of manual reading this camera will allow me to take better pictures.
Definitely not for entry level or not too experienced amateurs.
