Comments on the body design of the Nikon D300

Same as it ever was

Very little has changed in the physical design of the D300 over the D200, but the few updates are definitely for the better. For instance, Nikon has moved the flash sync terminal to the front with the remote terminal, and substituted the easily lost nontethered, nondustproof covers with tethered rubber plugs. The focus-mode selector-switch mechanism remains the same.

The ports on the side, which now include an HDMI output in addition to composite, USB, and DC-in ports, share a single rubber cover, as opposed to the separate USB section on the D200 (not shown).
