Ken Rockwell's D300 Page


Ken Rockwell has consolidated all his D300 tests, observations, news, opinions on one page. Excerpt:

"The Nikon D300 is the world's greatest amateur camera. The Nikon D300 is far more revolutionary than its specifications suggest. I've never said this before of any other camera, but the D300 actually makes it easier to create significantly better images than with earlier cameras.

"The D300 has better color, better highlights, better shadows, it's sharper because it fixes lens flaws, and its superior AF system and viewfinder free us to compose more freely. The D300 shares these innovations with its nearly identical $5,000 big brother, the D3. Compare their menus or read their users manuals and you'll see that they are the same on the inside! Owning both, I can confirm that they both operate in the same way and give the same look to their images. At ISO 200 with an exceptional lens, there isn't any visible difference I can see."
