Pros: Robust pro body with all the keys you need and well placed, AF, remarkable ergonomics and balance, gorgeous files, great sensor, used price

Cons: heavy but not too much, no video, almost no LV, colors tend to turn to high iso with little light, iso that still arrive decently maximum 2500

Opinion: The d300 belongs to the 'sacred triad' d3-d300-d700, which marked an era in digital I would say not only at nikon:-)) Close to its replacement d500 still makes its figure indeed it even seems to be of a higher level ... perceived and usable at the top by true professional, obviously has its years on the rump and you can see using it, however it is still a great machine that in fact many professionals still use, a bit like the d700 in the FF ... Good for every season. the 12 mpx sensor allows it to be used with older lenses with great results, lightning AF well distributed and precise for more optimally configurable, ergonomics, construction and perfect balance do the rest, performing well with non-stabilized or poorly resolving lenses. Many setting possibilities complete it great. Studio machine, fashion, portrait, sports... He is really able to say so much more about his ... With battery grip and 2 batteries you get tired of using it, we are talking about thousands of shots, at the price that is today it is worth double, rated 9

Pros: professional with a little dense apsc sensor and superb 14BIT raw files

Cons: jpegs are not in step with the times

Opinion: a tank shoots 12-bit caliber bursts and 14-bit cannons perfectly in tune with the not too expensive zoom lenses and the not too resolute optics that serve to take beautiful photos. They are at 200 euros with very few shots and in perfect condition, mine had 2400. it is not a Leica because of the most important dimensions, but certainly perfection does not exist, although it must be said that it is also tropicalized. The light meter as well as the AF are impeccable, moreover you have the possibility to use lenses with motorized focus from the camera body. In my opinion, with due attention you can also raise the ISO values when needed but exposing with skill. The batteries are endless using optics without stabilizer. In short, everything at the top but for the sole purpose of taking photos.

Pros: Ergonomic construction

Cons: maybe it sins a bit 'at high iso but who cares

Opinion: It is the third that I find little on the used market. Taken two non-working purposely self-repaired for passion and immediately resold the third that I still think to keep it forever and next to the beast D3s. I use the D300 exclusively for macro with an old 60 afd and a 105 afd churns out gentlemen workable files and 'very fun to use and relatively light compared to the D3 that I use for everything else. If you find as it happened to me with a few shots and' to be taken on the fly given the evaluations and you photograph.

Pros: heavy , wonderful af even today in 2021 .. sensor that makes you enjoy every poor optics ... because of the few megapixels , ergonomics at the highest levels , better lighting recovery for me than the recent apsc models

Cons: heavy when unfortunately you carry it around your neck and you are sewn up from side to side , on tripod everything moves in any case .. even doing macumba.. the shutter when you operate confuses the stabilizer as happened with the 55-210 vr 2 nikon ... often in good light I have to disable it ... is0 max 500... after they are pains

Opinion: I had 2 .. and still with an 18,300 would be a great travel companion .. serves to photograph .. no frills various .. videos including .. ... the only frustrating thing are the photos with easel.. practically to use it at night I have to rest on a wall .. otherwise the shutter moves everything .. I kid you not.. I had similar situations with the 7d but not always and only in particular situations .. the d300 instead is made for good light and often the shutter sends me tilting the stabilizer making it operate during the shots in an unpredictable way ..... other thing that has always struck me .. of 60 and over cameras owned .. I've never seen the sensor of the d300 attract dirt.. never.. I think they treated the low pass filter in front of the sensor .. which in those years was still feasible .. now instead they are all at the savings .. already his heir .. the d300s had a cheaper low pass filter to the point that the photos looked less sharp put next to each other.. even today I look for a nice 18-400 or 16-300 to glue .. so much with those few megapixels everything goes into the background .. optical qualities included

Pros: Robust and reliable, Fast and precise Af, good files right away, a machine gun in hand with burst shot.

Cons: Perhaps the only real flaw is not to dare too much with the tall Isos because the noise is evident.

Opinion: I took it because I was doing sports photography at the time, to be precise equestrian competitions, and with the d90 it was practically impossible to hook the horse that jumped the obstacle. Another world just the D300, I felt like I had a rifle, and I realized that a camera only needs a few things, one of which is the fast and precise AF, which hooks up well and an embarrassing shooting speed. Bought and immediately put to work on the pitch even in the rain, with an old 80-200 the result was really incredible, I felt almost like a sniper and the files were of a really higher quality, even with the crop factor the sharpness was not lost . After the Cavalli bracket, the D300 also looked great for various events and portraits, and with the pairing of the excellent 85mm 1.8G and 24mm 2.8D it became my work camera my par excellence, for events and portraits of all kinds. Not even the D700 has such a precise Af, in fact it is said that the Af of the D300 is the one designed for the D3. This explains why I mainly use the d300 for scene photos, being careful not to abuse with isos of course. The opinion is that this is not a camera like the others, and I bought another one just because it is really great , great to go inside the Stromboli at night is the reportage camera in extreme conditions , in Morocco under a downpoor I have never been afraid , reliable , they say it is a tank and it is true , while the older sister the D700 I use it for more "quiet" portraits , the D300 is the one to dive into particular situations where you know you need her, not to mention that she has all the commands in the right place, nothing is random, once in hand it is the camera for those who want to get serious. And on the D300 nothing is superfluous everything is designed for the professional photographer who wants to have control.
