Professional Camera: Nikon D300
There are a lot of great cameras on the market,HTML clipboard digital camera but the Nikon D300 more than any of them is designed for the serious photographer. If you are a serious photographer, the Nikon D300 will be a faithful, eager, and ingenious servant to your photographic endeavors.
The Nikon D300 is 12.3 effective megapixels which means 4288 x 2848 pixel images, so you gain 416 pixel horizontally and 256 pixels vertically over the D200. The sensor in the D300 is a CMOS part made by Sony. It slows 14-bit NEF captures to a maximum frame rate of 2.5 (from 6 or 8 depending upon your battery choice).
The Nikon D300 has an unusual high-resolution LCD. At 920,000 pixels, the D300's LCD resolution is higher than any SLR currently on the market, with the exception of the Nikon D3 and Sony A700. As LCDs get bigger, the value of higher resolution becomes clear. You can more easily check focus, sometimes even without zooming in, but when you do zoom in, you can really check focus. The actual resolution in more familiar dimensional terms is 640x480, because they count each color in their calculation (RGB).
The new LCD has a 170 degree viewing angle, and offers a 100% view, whether you're looking at captured images or framing in Live View mode.For JPEG and TIFF shooters, there's a new Picture Control system that's used to change image parameters(sharpening, contrast, gamma, hue, and saturation).
The Nikon D300 also has Live View, in-camera Lateral19 Chromatic Aberration Correction, a self-cleaning sensor, and optic-by-optic autofocus fine-tuning, plus the ability to upgrade to eight-frames-per-second with the purchase of a battery grip, all sure to be popular with D200 fans.
The big story with the new autofocus system, however, is its intelligent integration with data from the Scene Recognition System metering to enhance subject tracking. 51 autofocus points cover almost as much area as the meter, allowing you to position your subject wherever you like.
Another nice addition to the AF system is the AF fine tune, where the camera can store adjustments for up to 12 lenses.
There are a lot more advantages to this camera. If you buy one, you will find that the Nikon D300 Digital Camera is probably on of the best digital camera you can get if you are a serious photographer.
