I had a tough decision to make regarding how to treat another person. A friend recommend I read this book before making my decision. This book looks at life from God's point of view, dealing with many of the issues people face daily. I will be buying more copies as Christmas presents.

I didn't think my Casio EX-Z40 was that old, so I went ahead an ordered this 2GB 50X Kingston memory card in the hopes that I could take a ton more photos. Of course, my first experience using this memory card was at my Great Grandmother's 100th birthday. I went to shoot video and once I finished an

I think the designers of this Item need to add some cushion to the hand grips. Most buyers are not Navy Seals.

A camera that allows you to hold it
10/12/2008
Since I moved from the D70s to D300 it has further increased my pleasure to press the gentle button to capture a moment. This camera is extremely stable, especially with the VR function in the Nikon Lens. The menu has many choices to enable specific photography. Also the continuous shooting is a real improvement and makes very beautiful action-pictures. Very pleasant is its LED matrix focus device that can be seen in the viewer. Real super technology for the amateur/professional photographer.

Amazon.com is giving the best price/package ratio, after my search on both the web and specialized shops in the DC area.

A wonderful camera, BUT.
10/6/2008
A wonderful camera, super fast responsive and flexible: however I have to agree with other reviewers, this thing is a behemoth. So much so that I had to go out and also purchase a D60 body for "everyday use". I can't lug around the heavy D300 for very long, especially on a hot sunny day outdoors!

Also, will someone explain to me why they had to put a reflex mirror in this thing? The Live-view function is such a "klugey" pain to invoke that it might as well not be there. Why don't they dispense with the mirror altogether and employ the joy-to-use electronic viewfinders found in the plain vanilla point and shoot cameras? All I want is a body where I can swap lenses, coupled with an electronic viewfinder so that I can rapidly switch from LCD screen to viewfinder. I hope they someday come out with an ALL digital SLR, one that doesn't need a 1930's vintage mechanical mirror to make it work! Don't you?

Excellent Camera!!
9/27/2008
The Nikon D300 is one of the most versatile advanced amateur DSLRs on the market. In fact, I have built most of my wedding photography business around this camera and its extraordinary potential. At this time, the Nikon D90 has lowered the demand for the D300 which means that its cost has gone down a few hundred dollars from when I purchased it. What a great time to buy!

Similarities to the D3:
1. 51 autofocus points.
2. 8 frames per second (with the battery grip; 6.5 fps without)
3. Customization of features for quick changes in camera settings in the field
4. Excellent weatherproofing
5. Active D-LIghting

Advancements over the D90:
1. D90 features 4.5 fps versus 6.5 on D300
2. D90 cannot meter with old manual focus lenses
3. D90 is not weather-sealed
4. D90 has 11 autofocus points versus 51 on D300
5. D90's fastest shutter speed is 1/4000 vs 1/8000 with D300
6. D90's viewfinder offers only 96% coverage vs. D300's 100%
7. D90 has a 100,000 shutter cycle vs. the D300's 150,000
8. D90 is limited in customization
9. D90's max flash sync speed is 1/250 vs D300's 1/320
10. D90 does not use the professional speed CF Cards.

Are these features enough to convince you to go for this camera? That is up to you, but for me, they are plenty to keep me using this DSLR as my primary camera for (maybe) years to come!

Best-
Jason

This camera is everything it's cracked up to be. It was missing the eye piece cover for timed shots; Amazon made good on it immediatly.
