Hello everyone, My title is Daniel and I am about as grave as you can be and still be advised "amateur". I have been taking photographs on SLR's since I was 10 years vintage on an vintage movie Minolta and I acquired my first DSLR (a Nikon D50) and since then I have belongs to everything from a groundwork line Canon XSi all the way up to the the best camera I have ever handled... the D300s. I have functioned the D3, D3s, D3x and the peak of the line expert $10k Canons, and this is still my very well liked ALL AROUND camera. So here is the shatter down to why I love this camera and I will give you a register of pros and cons. I love this camera for numerous reasons... [...]... not numerous persons can support expending another $4,000 (2-3 times the money) when they are looking to spend round $1,500- $2,000 for a good DSLR. So here is the advantages that I glimpse to D300s over the other large Nikon models.
1. if you are into sports the D300s has a higher relentless border rate than other forms encompassing the ever so well liked full border D700. With it's DX sensor it has a crop component of 1.5 which means more bang for you buck when utilising a telephoto zoom lens. If you buy the MB-D10 electric battery load it will fire at even higher races of 8fps when utilising relentless firing and furthermore permits for up to almost 5,000 images to be taken on one ascribe (when upgraded electric battery is purchased). With 51 auto-focus and 3-D following you are nearly assured to have your subject in aim every time you take a picture. The D300s furthermore characteristics Active D Lighting which makes to so your images end up correctly revealed so you don't end up with localities of under and over exposure which are inclined to be widespread in sports and in shadowy countryside taking photographs
2. Freedom: whereas all Nikon DSLR's permit you to manually adapt your backgrounds they are tough to change until you get to the semi-pro D300 model. If you realise f-stops, DOF, aperture, shutter pace, ISO, aim points, lightweight metering and other mechanical jargon and actually desire to trial with all of these then a D300s is the camera for you. with firing modes including: lone, cont. reduced pace, high pace, timer, calm, and reflector up mode this camera presents you all the flexibility you could ever inquire for.
3. Learning: this camera will make you discover the factual in's and out's of photography. With the very unquestionable lightweight meter it's not very hard to get the exposure right. No issue what your ISO and f halt is at.
4. User interface. With the dedicated reside outlook and info button new to the D300s over the initial D300 it slashes list times down considerably although it no longer has the recollection business card hatch issue switch. The D300s encompasses large characteristics for example made-to-order meal lists, very easy to realise meal lists with the classic (?) button which will interpret every camera function in very easy to realise terms. On the go by plane alterations encompass ISO, WB, Quality, firing modes, a client modified fn button, AF/AE secure, lightweight metering, and af adjustments. So the only limitations are your imagination. Selecting your focal issue is as very easy as looking in the viewfinder and impelling the directional button and observing the selector move round until you have precisely the right location selected. With two selectors (one for shutter pace and one for f stop) it permits you to not ever have to take your eye out out of the viewfinder.
The base line (why you would select this over any other Nikon DSLR):
why you'd select this over the D90: 51point AF w/ 3D following, more fps, command of likeness changes, not much more cash for many more flexibility and creativity, compare auto-focusing throughout videos, proficiency to utilize dual business card slots (CF and SD), 14bit RAW, Active D Lighting.
Over the D700: full 12MP when utilising DX lenses other than 5MP, more fps, $600-$1,000 less, video mode, lesser pixels for more refinement at reduced ISO, 100% viewfinder treatment
Over the D3 and D3x: A ton of cash, firing pace, optimization of DX and FX lenses and video mode, and constructed in blink, 100% viewfinder treatment which permits for better framing.
This is a large camera HOWEVER NOTE THE FOLLOWING!!!!!
The D700, D3,x,s have FX photograph sensors which permit for a much larger and brighter outlook finder, it furthermore permits for a broader outlook (no crop component rather than of 1.5x like the DX) which means if you desire more locality in your images for such things as countrysides then the D700 or the D3 lineup perhaps a better choice because a 50mm lens in a DX camera examines the identical as a 75mm lens on an FX camera.
The D700 and D3 lineup (minus the D3x) utilize the large FX sensor and still only have a 12MP capability which means that the pixels are bigger which permits for better deepness of hue, better delineation in shaded, and better high ISO clarity. The D300 can proceed to expanded ISO of 6400 although the likeness value is poor at best when the D3 can fire ISO 6400 all day long and gaze great. The D700 furthermore does better at high ISOs than the D300 does because it has the identical sensor as the D3 although the D3 still does better than the D700 at farthest ISOs. However furthermore address the detail that the lesser the likeness sensor the bigger the deepness of area so the D700 and the D3 are better for macro or portrait taking photographs and the D300 will give you a bigger DOF matching to about one f-stop.
THIS IS NOT A VIDEO CAMERA video is attractive good and the utilization of lenses is a large characteristic although if you desire good video spend the cash on a video camera. Even a Flip HD does better. The camera makes good video but it doesn't do well throughout panning if you design on putting the camera on a tripod and filming then by all means its fine and with the choice for an external mic to give you stereo sound is nice.
When it arrives to portability, cost, characteristics, heaviness, usability, likeness changes ect. I in person accept as factual it doesn't get any better I wish this reconsider assisted and I wish you get one too and actually relish it as much as I have. This camera is the best of all worlds. I state save the cash from an FX camera and purchase a actually pleasant lens or two or three for that matter. Anyway here is the camera of my aspirations and confidently the camera in your bag soon I pledge you'll love it, I understand I do.
UPDATE: For all you HDR photographers gaze no farther than the D300s you can effortlessly conceive HDR photographs by choosing "multiple exposures" and then setting up multi-step exposures for + or - EV per exposure and after the exposures are finished voila you have a attractive HDR photo. Keep in brain however: you will need a twisted cord issue (I suggest the MC-36) for the multiple exposures. OR take a couple of images at distinct exposures and overlay the photographs in the in camera retouch list and there you have it flawless HDR photographs every time! Goodbye Photoshop (for HDR anyway)
The D300s and blink compatibility: I have observed nearly no one has conversed about the truly unbelievable blink compatibility with the D300s over numerous cameras. I figured it required to be enclosed so here it goes: The D300s is a DREAM to work with when paired with any Nikon Speedlight Dynamic Lighting System. My very well liked and most often utilised blink is the SB-600 Speedlight which can be wirelessly functioned for NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE with the D300s, you just have to understand what backgrounds to change. Unlike the D3 which has to either have a warm footwear blink manager unit or an SB-800 ($900) the D300s can function a almost unlimited number of blinks wirelessly without any accessories. So if you are like so numerous other Nikon users and own an SB-600 just impel and contain the "Zoom" and the "-" button at the identical time until you get to made-to-order list and cycle through until you can adapt the squiggly Z formed line and turn it to on and it defaults to conduit 3 then either impel and contain the "zoom" and "-" button to get out of the list or just impel the power button. Then proceed to the "Custom Setting Menu" (the pencil) on your D300s and change "e3" "flash cntrl for built-in flash" to the Commander mode and set to conduit 3, and burst up your constructed in blink and there you go...ABSOLUTELY FREE WIRELESS FLASH with flawless exposure reimbursement every time utilising a $250 blink unit. Hope it assists somebody I understand it assisted me so have joy and recall to change it back to TTL blink when you're done.
