NIKON D300 SERIES

Nikon SLRs dating back to the legendary вЂњFвЂќ have generally been blessed with good ergonomics, and the D series digitals have followed suit. The D300 will be largely familiar to D200 shooters, and any Nikon DSLR shooter will quickly feel at home with the camera as well. The NEFs can be captured as 12 or 14 bit, lossless compressed, compressed, or uncompressed. The camera will capture still images as JPEG, TIFF, NEF or NEF + JPEG.

NIKON D300 SOFTWARE

For a limited time, Nikon will also include their excellent Capture NX software with each D300 вЂ“ a nice touch for folks moving to the D300 from other Nikon digitals, since the earlier versions of NX wonвЂ™t process D300 NEF (Nikon Electronic Format, NikonвЂ™s RAW file type) files. Nikon includes an EN-El3e battery and charger, USB and video cables, camera strap, monitor cover, body cap, rubber eyecup and CD-ROM software with each camera. More importantly, the pack also features a vertical shutter button and command dial, and with the optional AA or the large battery the continuous shooting rate goes up to 8 fps from the standard 6. But the pack allows the D300 to mount a second standard battery, or make use of AA batteries, or even the large capacity battery for the D2X/Xs or D3.

This accessory bumps the D300вЂ™s dimensions and weight to 5.8 x 6 x 2.9 inches and 2 pounds, 12 ounces, respectively. The trick setup for the D300 is to add the MB-D10 multi-power battery pack. Long-time Nikon users will note that the traditional flash sync and 10-pin terminal caps have been replaced by rubber covers attached to the camera body a la the Nikon F6 вЂ“ no more easily lost caps that are a feature of virtually every Nikon SLR/DSLR since the вЂњFвЂќ debuted in 1959.Дimensions are about 5.8 x 4.5 x 2.9 inches, with a shooting weight (body, battery and memory card) of about 2 pounds. The camera body is of magnesium alloy construction with dust and moisture sealing, and the shutter has been rated for 150,000 cycles. The D300 also features an integrated sensor dust reduction system, the first Nikon digital to do so. ThereвЂ™s a new 51-point autofocus (AF) system and a Scene Recognition System that incorporates a 1005-pixel 3D Color Matrix Metering II exposure system that provides better exposure, auto white balance detection and AF performance.

The camera can shoot at 6 frames per second (fps) at full resolution with the standard battery (and 8 fps with optional power sources), faster than the D2X/Xs and D200вЂ™s 5 fps. The D300 features a new 12.3MP CMOS sensor and a 3-inch, 920,000 dot tempered-glass monitor with a live view shooting capability. Maybe thatвЂ™s why Nikon ad copy makes no mention of anything other than вЂњprofessionalвЂќ when talking about the D300. The D2X/Xs and D200 are still the great cameras they always were, but the D300 is just better.

NIKON D300 PRO

Better than the now less expensive D200, and better than the pro bodied D2X/Xs at a fraction of the cost. IвЂ™ve owned and shot NikonвЂ™s flagship D2X for several years, and the prosumer D200 for almost as long, but with the arrival of the D300 the hierarchy of NikonвЂ™s DX sensor DSLRs has undergone a dramatic change: the D300 is the best of these digital Nikons. Nikon D80 and Nikon D300 sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that D300 has a better overall score of 67, 6 points higher compared to D80's score of 61.The D300 retains the familiar Nikon DX format sensor, which results in a 1.5X crop factor for any lenses (35mm film equivalent). It scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. DxOMark Sensor ScoresДxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors.

On the other hand, since Nikon D80 has 21% larger pixel area compared to Nikon D300, it has potential to collect more light on pixel level hence have less noise in low light / High ISO images. Nikon D80 and Nikon D300 have sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.

On the other hand, Nikon D300 has a 12.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.8 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Expeed processor.Д«elow you can see the D80 and D300 sensor size comparison. Nikon D80 has a 10.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.8 mm ) sized CCD sensor.
