Pros: It will never set....!!!!! It used to be used to professionals, and now it serves the Neo professionals.... It's never going to set !!!

Cons: Maybe on the high iso, but if you use them well it is not a problem, and always a DOC machine....

Opinion: I have this D300s machine since January 2011 and I am happy, it goes that and a wonder, for any photographic theme..... From the Road, to The People, to Art, Landscapes, Animals, Macros, Interiors, Festivals, of course all accompanied with the related Valuable Goals, and also not.... Tropicalized, batteries that last an eternity, sturdy, ergonomic that fill the palm of your hand, and create a better and safer grip...!!!! I copied it with a D300, and I also help with a D90, so I have three to divide the Photographic Themes that I run, which are six, and there are not a few... To make infretta I have three bodies, 2 goals per body, and I almost solved the problem....!!!!! In any case the result and positive, never had problems even in the rain, at least heavy enough drops, the Frost documented at minus 10 degrees in the snow all OK for the D300s the D300 I did not try but I think it is equal, the rain tried as well the D300 but the frost I do not know.... Now For those who have little money, the D300 or the D300s are the myths of the second-hand market, they are in first place and they cost little, there is no doubt, then the D90 always in the used completes me the Corredo...!!!!! All in a DX Format (Medium Format) not bad... When you have the money we will divide the Photogrist Themes with a nice FF but the D300s/D300 remain for macro/naturalism, which still do their duty... A great greeting to all... (MGNELLO)

Pros: Robust, tropicalized machine, double slot and video footage. Good battery life. 100% crosshair cover.

Cons: High iso noise.

Opinion: Great camera. I had both the D200 and the D300, I can say that the D300s is similar to the previous ones, despite the addition of the double slot and the possibility of video shooting, it remains basically thought of as a camera and not as a camera. In the second-hand market it is located at low prices, with a few shots made and in excellent conditions of use..... maybe someone can think about it and take home something professional.

Pros: Construction, ergonomics, AF, command customization, photo rendering, burst, in short .... a lot of positive qualities

Cons: If I have to find one, maybe the noise over 1200 ISO

Opinion: I bought this body 1 year after the D70s, I realize that it is "old" but never buy was more apt.rnHa sublime construction, the viewfinder with 100% coverage (coming from the d70s was like taking a cabrio car and watching the starry sky) it seemed almost to return to the times of the dear old FM.rnDigerisce optics new as old and motor AF for non-motorized targets that is a show.rnPersonally I find myself very well and if it is in good condition the price which is certainly worth buying (imho).

Pros: Robust, Reliable, excellent AF, ergonomics and controls in the right place

Cons: A bit heavy, it hardly forgives mistakes.

Opinion: I bought it again about 8 years ago, it has never betrayed me in any situation, rain, snow, hot sun and salt I used it everywhere. really indestructible programmable buttons and function keys all in the right place and easily accessible (maybe they still did so .... !!!!!). AF really formidable (with the right goal). The sensor starts to be a bit 'dated and above 1200 ISO begins to show its limits (especially if you underpaid a bit'). It is not a novice machine because it does not allow you to make crop too strong and sometimes tends to underexpose so a little 'experience is required before mastering it to the fullest, but once you learn to know it becomes like an extension of the body. The double CF and SD memory slot is also excellent. For me it is still one of the best APS-C in recent years.

Pros: Great body very robust. Well the double slot. Ok the small integrated flash. Fast autofocus.

Cons: Not very fast the burst. Clear noise from 1000 iso up.

Opinion: Professional entry level professional somewhat dated. It is good to send photos in jpeg and raw separately to the two memories or use them as a backup. Do not underestimate the only 12 Mpxl. of the sensor as relatively large diodes gather more light. Measure spot metering. Not particularly suitable for sports shooting.
