I’ve been using a D70 & D200. The D300s is by far the best I’ve used yet. I borrowed a D700 for a weekend and still prefer the D300s. Amazon had the best price, no tax and no delivery charge. Amazon & Nikon is a winning team!

The D300S has all the features the bigger boys have at half to 1/5th the cost. It is a DX camera meaning it does not have a full frame sensor. The good news is all my Nikon lenses work, unlike the problems with the full frame Nikons. It is not as heavy as the more expensive Nikons and as fast as I need it to be. I can use my full creativity with this camera and get the picture with no lag time like you get with the point and shoot cameras. 12.5 megapixels is plenty of pixels to work with for large prints or small. With the battery grip you can shoot all day. Having dual memory cards, one for the picture and one for the RAW is a great idea.
I looked at other camera companies but my lens investment prevented me from making that change. Moving to one of the full frame Nikons would have required a similar lens investment as my DX lenses would not work the same, either.
Over all if you are looking for a fast, tack sharp camera with all the latest features Nikon can pack into a camera, the D300s is your camera.

I have upgraded from d90 due to the dual card capability and the faster frame per second. I’m very happy with the performance. However, the function of the preview next/previous image using main command dial is not exist anymore. D90, D80, and D300 have the ability to scroll through images using the main command dial.

This is an excellent camera. It is so flexible to use with the ability to quickly change shooting conditions such as ISO, Focus, WB and other parameters without going to the menu. The pictures at the high end of the ISO range 2500 to 3200 are very good.
The quality of the pictures at 12MP are outstanding.
As well, the 18 to 200mm VR lens is excellent and produces great handheld images under difficult conditions such as speed and low light level.
Great camera, a bit heavy and complex for the average user. If you want a superb camera, this is it.

I have been interested in photography since the old film slr days. After graduating from the p&s cameras, I moved to the D60 upon its introduction. I feel like I mastered that camera and decided to move up. After much research, I decided on the D300s.
The camera was delivered yesterday. I ended up staying awake all night playing with the camera. It is heavy and well built, and when you look at it, you know it is a real camera! When you pick one up, you know it isn’t some point & shoot. This camera is a serious piece of equipment. My 18-200 f/3.5 VRII seems to love this camera. AF is super fast, and just “feels right” on the D300s.
Now, there is going to be a big learning curve between me and this camera. As my wife said, “There are a lot of buttons, knobs and stuff” on the camera. Just read the manual. For my money, this is an excellent camera and am very glad I purchased it.
