Reviews I was highly pleased to receive my new D300 quite promptly and ahead of the anticipated delivery date. These refurbished units are usually demo cameras from trade shows that sit on a table for a few hours, then are sent back to Nikon for a dust-off, tweaking, repackaging and massive price reduction! Superb! Everything was pristine and mint. Camera is exactly what I was expecting and performs up to specs. Anyone seeking a great deal on great equipment- I suggest you take advantage of these astonishing savings for what is essentially a brand new product that you receive. I did my homework - got just what I was hoping for. I am very pleased In february of this year, I decided to enter the world of digital photography. I initially decided to get a D90, which I ordered from B&H along with the kit lens (18-105mm VR) After using it for a few months, and getting more and more serious about photography, I decided to sell my D90 and it's kit lens on craigslist and use the proceeds to fund an upgrade to something a little more "professional"--a d300 and the nikon 17-55mm f/2.8. All I can say is "wow!". the differences seem subtle between these cameras on paper (i.e. same sensor, etc.) but once you pick them up and handle each one, you will never confuse them again. The d300 screams professional, while the D90 definitely screams amateur. Not that there's anything wrong with this; If you don't feel you need the advantages the d300 gives you, don't get it. But if you need weather sealing, 6/8 FPS, 100% viewfinder coverage, mirror lockup, a better grip, non chrome shutter release (getting into the small stuff here) and more, do yourself a favor and pick up a d300. This is the perfect semi-professional Nikon model for people like me (semi-professional) as well as for amateur photographers looking for maximum control. Unlike Nikon's consumer-grade SLRs the 300 allows full control of all camera functions. In fact, by removing the "scene mode" wheel (close-up portrait, action, &c.), this camera requires you to control the settings. I've done a lot of shooting with the D50, D70 and D90 and this is large step beyond even the outstanding D90. The image sensor is amazing and the sharpness and color capture are outstanding. I love pretty much everything about this camera. My only regret is that I didn't wait a little longer and get the D700 or Dx with the full FX image sensor. Otherwise, sweet camera and, if you search around, you can find a Nikon-refurb model for under $1000, which is an outstanding value. I upgraded from a D8 to this marvelous machine. Surprisingly, I find it easier to use effectively than its little sister. The ability to change functions by buttons, switches and levers as well as custom menus makes the operation almost easy. There is a lot to learn on this camera but the quality of the photos and the low noise ratio make it a real winner!
