I've been shooting with Nikon equipment for many years and I have to admit that it took some time for them to develop a professional quality digital SLR. First the D200, which I successfully shot weddings and fundraising events for over a year. Then, the D3 and the D300, wow! I bought the D3 shortly after its release and have been shooting with it for over a year - using the D200 as a back-up. I worked with the 2008 U.S. Olympic Committee before they went to Beijing, along with catalog, weddings, and portrait jobs. I was never disappointed with the great performance by either camera.
Along came the D300 and I studied its reviews and specs. Finally, I decided to give-up the D200 and get a D300 for backup to my D3. Live view, a different image sensor, and better build quality were my main reasons.
I'm the kind of photographer that likes to "tweak" my shots and I'll shoot with multiple exposure compensation (highly recommended if you want to gain incredible dynamic range), and manual mode so I can control exposure, aperture and shutter speed with the simple twist of two perfectly located control dials.
Then, I had the oportunity to chase the cyclists on the California Amgen Tour. Things just happen too quickly to mess with manual mode all the time, so I set my ISO to auto and shot in program mode. I can not believe how the D300 performs with auto white balance and program mode in a high speed, high energy shoot such as professional bike racing. It's absolutely incredible.
Along with shooting for 3 days in torrential rain, the camera performed as a true pro and I actually used it more than my D3! It won't replace the D3, but for the price it stands right along side the best digital SLR ever made and all I can say is: Nikon, you did it again!
Thanks - Make the photograph!
