"Fantastic D300"
Pros: Colors, Active D lIghting, Fast Frame
Cons: expensive expensive expensive
Summary: The D300 is a greta camera.
Color saturation can be increased to make eye opening (and sometimes over the top)photos.
I like the Active D Lighting for shadows and highlight correction.
I don't agree with the reveiwer who wrote ISO 3200 is the same as ISO 400. That is simply not true. Not even on a D3. ISO 3200 is much better than on previous Nikons but don't expect to shoot at 3200 and get a crystal clear photo...not happening.
The LCD is fantastic.
You can customize the menus so you have quick access to more important features.. (you can customize the menu to include most features but not all including autofocus point selection; highly needed and a huge ommission).
The flash is great (not so much for indoor; no different from any DSLR camera)
12mp is handy for blowing up larger photos.
Definitely a long learning curve on this...not a amature SLR camera so beware!
All in all, this is a great camera; I would highly recommend.
