Great Camera

by JackGreenberg , Jul. 14, 2008

Comments:
I've only had it a short time and have spent most of my time working through the menus to get familiar with all the features. I've taken about 400 photos with various settings just to see what is possible, but I've been on a couple of shoots and have sev...

QuickTake:

Pros: As a previous Nikon owner, this camera is everything I assumed it would be.

Cons: None of any real consequence yet.

Recommended: Yes

Great camera, easy to use, and the best part is the huge flat screen TV.

We got the camera and tested it before shooting a wedding last week-end. I put the 70-200 f2.8 VR lens on the body and went to work. It was fantastic. The quality of the images was excellent. The resolution, contrast, exposure, were right on the money...

QuickTake:

Pros: The LCD screen, you can really see the image you just shot.

Cons: I don't have any right now.

It is as good as you think it should be!

by jwm6780 , Jun. 26, 2008

Comments:
Owning a D200 I was reluctant to purchase the D300 thinking there would not be enough difference to warrant the replacement of a less than two year old camera. While the D200 is great the D300 is in a different league. Rather that restate the hype, it is...

QuickTake:

Pros: Amazing focus system

Cons: Too much camera for the novice

The future of SLR Digital Photography -Now

Comments:
This is a great camera, a little complex at times- I am sure I will get used to it the more I use it(I am coming out of the F3 era). While the size may be a little bigger than most, it is not "huge". The large high quality display is a real Wow item. The ...

QuickTake:

Pros: This camera should keep me happy for another 20 years - it accepts AI lenses from the 70s-Wows: LCD

Cons: I haven't figured out how to work everything (not even close). It is a large body, but the screen an

Top of the line, tip of the spear...

by terpsichorean , May. 20, 2008

Comments:
Best: The lens' capability to autofocus in low light was an incredible discovery. It still needs to be held securely, or it will blur the picture. The non-slip body material has a nice feel. Least: It IS a heavy camera, but solid. I wasn't expecting to ...

QuickTake:

Pros: Incredible Auto-focus lens', LCD size and Quality...

Cons: A little on the heavy side, not as "Automatic" as my OM2 (nor as light)...

by PCU , May. 8, 2008

Comments:
In shooting weddings, its low noise level at high ISO setting is great. The LCD is wonderful, helps me preview the image quality in detail on location. In shooting fast action at high speed continuous shooting, when camera is set at RAW quality, the buff...
