Digital Photography Review: Nikon D300
It’s the review that everybody interested in semi-professional D-SLRs have been waiting for. Digital Photography Review, one of the best digital camera review sites on the Internet, has finally reviewed the long-awaited Nikon D300 and says that it’s a gem.
The D200 was a big step forward for Nikon, the ‘baby D2X’ certainly gave the competition a thing or two to think about. Its big problem was the fact that Canon was still a generation ahead in the noise stakes, managing to consistently deliver clean images despite megapixel jumps. With the advent of the D300 however Nikon has conclusively removed this disparity and if anything stepped ahead of Canon (mostly thanks to its chroma based noise reduction delivering more film-like grain rather than color blotches).

There is price, but sometimes the best products demand a premium and the D300 is no exception. Nikon’s biggest problem now will be bettering the D300; it raises the bar to a new high, and represents the state of the art despite strong competition from the likes of Canon, Sony and Olympus. There’s simply no better semi-professional digital SLR on the market.
