Outstandng camera July 9, 2008

Instant on, immediate take when you push the shutter button, focuses instantly on what you want depending on how you set the focus area, and takes better pictures than my Maxxum 7 did. I currently use only one lens, the 18 - 200; but plan on getting another soon with faster aperture for fine work. I currently use mine for travel when backpacking; but also for pictures in the ER where I work. These I use for teaching purposes for the medical students who rotate with us. A very fine piece of hardware that works as advertised.
 Great product, but poor shipment July 4, 2008

Nikon D300 is very good camera, but it took 3 weeks to ship the item to my place, poor package.
So glad I bought this July 2, 2008

Everyone else has already covered the details, so I'll just add my voice to the chorus. Particularly, I am amazed at the photos shot at ISO3200 and the fact that you can get something truly usable at ISO6400.
Also, the feel of it in your hands is terrific.
 Performance and questionable quality July 1, 2008

During the first month until the Auto Focus stopped working, I was very impressed with this dslr and Nikkor lens.
Then suddenly the AF would not respond in the middle of outdoor shooting. I am waiting to hear what Nikon service center has to say. Searching a bit on the web I could read other D300 owners complaining about the same fault.
If other people write about this issue I can guess this is not a rare case of technical failure, but rather a sign of insufficient manufacturing and quality level -and this should not happen with a camera of this class. So overall I am disappointed with Nikon.
Fantastic camera June 30, 2008

First of all I need to say that I don't own this camera. I own a Canon EOS 40D and I am very pleased with it. D300 is in most aspects at least as good as 40D and in many aspects better, enough to justify the price difference. I had the Nikon for a few days and took some shots. It has amazing ergonomics and image quality. The feature set is fantastic.
Highly recommended.
