  • Fantastic camera at a bargain price.

    This was Nikon's flagship semi-pro camera when it first came out in 2007 and sold for around £1,200 for the body only. Now it is phenomenal value and a great starting point for people like me who want to start taking their photography more seriously. The external controls allow you to change settings easily without having to bore down into programme settings. It has a very sturdy body, and is not a lightweight camera. It can take 6 frames per second, or 8 if you combine it with a battery grip. Compared to many modern cameras it isn't as good in low light conditions and doesn't have a video function (the later D300S does). For the price it goes for now you couldn't ask for a better camera.

  • My heavyweight friend!

    Do not think this camera is an 'easy' option. I have purchased a detailed 'How to' explanatory book. The features this camera contains is mind blowing; a real challenge even for experienced photographers. Yet I love it; apart from the weight! Its like having a workout carrying it around. That's because its built like a proverbial tank! Great!

  • A camera that can still surprise you.

    The D300 is a very good older DSLR for people with large hands. It is dependable and weather-resistant, while 12 megapixels is still good enough for A3/A2 printing. Modern semi-pro DSLRs are designed to create sharp ultra-realism, which goes against what older cameras were designed to do, which was to manage tone. The D300 cannot compete with the low light specs of modern offerings but it can still impress. It is, I would say, an ideal camera for young ambitious beginner because it is very affordable second-hand and the professional controls are easily accessible and not hidden in a menu.

  • Great camera

    I love the D300S, it's autofocus is very fast and the results are top quality. Robust but well balanced with a 18-200mm lens. The fact that the sensor has 'only' 12.1MP is immaterial as the pixels are much larger than those on more modern cameras - Ideal for action photography as well as portraits and landscapes.

  • Great oldie dslr.

    Great dslr. Although it is old by camera standards, it beats the hell of many newer models, in tems of strength, build quality, advanced settings, low light performances and picture quality. You can pick one of these now for a very good price, and you will be buying a semi-pro camera that still stands head and shoulders above equivalent models

  • Nikon D300

    I bought a Nikon D200 with a converted to 720nm Infrared sensor. The images I was getting were better than my Nikon D5300 so purchased the D300. Again sharper images than my 5300. It's a heavy camera but solidly built and feels good when handling it. It's a beautiful camera.

  • Old but good

    This was a legendary camera in its day. Still feels rock solid. Produces excellent quality images however when compared to the newest cameras it does show its age somewhat. That said, It is a terrific camera to learn on.
