Product Description
The rugged D300S' hallmarks include versatility, speed, agility and exceptional image quality. Versatility is its 12.3-megapixel, DX-format CMOS image sensor, with Nikon EXPEED image processing that captures stunning low-noise stills and extraordinary 24 fps, 720p HD video with sound. Speed is split-second startup and continuous shooting at up to 7 fps-8 fps with the optional MB-D10 grip, which also extends shooting capacity and makes shooting more comfortable. Accurate image review, Live View shooting and Menus come alive on a 3-inch tempered glass-protected, 920k-dot LCD monitor, while image quality is bolstered by a 51-area AF system and Nikon's 1,005-pixel RGB exposure sensor, in concert with the newly accelerated Scene Recognition System-technology that increases exposure and AF accuracy, improves white balance detection, and more. Photographers have preferences, and the D300S offers choices-including Picture Control, Center-Weighted and Spot Metering, user-assignable CompactFlash and SD card slots and an external stereo microphone input. Included is Nikon ViewNX software-ready to process rich 14-bit NEF (RAW) or JPEG files. For more editing power, optional Capture NX 2, with U-Point technology, safeguards image quality and speeds workflow.

 D300s Great camera July 27, 2010
Mary Gonzales (Upland, California United States)
Great Camera. Still learning how to use all the great features. I got an awesome price from Amazon. Saved almost $400 when I bought the camera and lens together.

Hey, It's a Nikon... you can expect it to perform like one. But, be aware Mine did not come with a USA warranty. Just thought you might want to know.

I have just purchased the D300 with the 70-300 lens. I love the camera so far, but it is not compatilble with Window Vista 64 bit. I did not see that information listed anywhere before I purchased the camera. What good is the camera if it cannot upload to my computer? I cannot understand why recent nikon software does not work with a recent windows operating system. Do not buy this camera if you have Vista 64 bit.
amazing upgrade from D300 June 18, 2010

So i bought this camera as an upgrade to my D300. i've been in love with the D300 for as long as i had it even while using a D3 in college. i'll spare a review of the original and just talk about the D300s. the camera is amazingly built even better than the original, and that's saying a lot. everything about it gives me confidence in holding it. the image quality is phenomenal, with no noise, amazing dynamic range, and great ability to restore shadows and highlights in RAW files. the SD card slot also helps a great deal. i can now shoot the JPG files to it, and look them over on the macbook pro, which has an SD slot, then edit the RAW files on my desktop. having a dedicated live view button is nice, and allows you to remain in your shooting speed (S, CL, CH). you simply press the multi-selector's center button to start a movie. speaking of which, the image quality is fantastic, and focusing is very easy even when recording, since the screen is bright and very sharp. as for the file size of the videos, i was unable to find any information online, so i'll post it here for you reading. for a 30 second clip at 720p, you can expect file size to be up to 90MB, depending on the subject. the one unfortunate thing, and you can't save your settings from a D300 and import them to the 300s. overall, after having the camera for 3 days, and already using it on a serious shoot, i have to say it's an even better camera that i was expecting and there is nothing about it i feel like it's missing.
exactly what you already know June 6, 2010
