Abstract: This is very close to what a professional photographer will use. In fact from my very amateur status it was rather frightening to review, mainly because most of the time I was hitting – if not passing – my knowledge levels....
There’s something about the shutter sound of Nikons, they just seem more positive and tighter. This, combined with the magnesium alloy chassis, makes the D300s reminiscent of some of those tanks like the F3, from a bygone film age. Indeed, the D300s...
Abstract: If I had to pick my favourite camera from last year, it would probably be the Nikon D300 digital SLR which I reviewed last February. Not only did it score a perfect 10/10 and a well-deserved Editor's Choice award, it was also my choice for Digital SLR of ...
Abstract: A good value semi-pro/serious enthusiast SLR with the added bonus of HD movie capture and some nifty aids for making impressive photography less demanding. Aside from the video features, the D300s isn't radically different to its predecessor, the D300...
This isn’t a camera made for wedding snappers - it’s designed for the last journalist out of a warzone or the first into a street riot. Crafted from magnesium alloy (and possibly kryptonite), the water- and dust-resistant D300S is utterly reli...

The moment when amateurs sensibly put their cameras away and retire for a cuppa, is the exact moment pro photographers leap into action. The D300S is smart, sharp and tough enough for any situation – except facing your bank manager.Nikon D300S is ta...
Abstract: Launched in 2007, the 12 million pixel D300 quickly became one of Nikon’s most popular DSLRs. However, a lot can happen in two years. Remember how we used to consider live view to be an exotic new function? Ah, those were the days… In the past 12 month...
Camera prices have been rising, but £1,350 still seems pretty rich for a 12-megapixel dSLR, even one with an HD movie mode. And don't forget that's the body-only price. The Nikon D300S remains a smart buy for professionals with numerous DX lenses or w...
Abstract: The Nikon D300S sits at the very top of Nikons range of consumer-level DSLRs. In fact, that may be stretching the facts a little: there are presumably only a small number of consumers who will be prepared to pay £1500 for a DSLR....
