“Great Camera with splendid attributes and picture quality” 2009-09-23
By Cesar Moreno
After being an olympus SLR user for 3 years (honestly without any complains) I decided to switch to Nikon for various reasons, but particularly for the high ISO capabilities. These camera has met and surpassed all my expectations, and continues to amaze me with every set of pictures I upload. The camera is extremely well built, it is responsive, and the quality of the pictures is great. The video is a great attribute but it needs some tweaking if you want to improve your footage. I would recommend using a tripod and avoid fast moving objects because of the ‘rolling shutter’ problem that all video SLR cameras still have. Putting this aside, it is obvious that the purpose of this camera is for photography and I have no complains regarding this. I would recommend this camera to any semi-professional or enthusiast photographer that wants an upgrade.
“Way better than the D300″ 2009-09-22
By Richard S. Lee (Charleston, WV USA)
I have owned a D100, D200, and D300… this camera is so much improved that I believe it should have been called the D400 instead of the D300s. There aren’t that many new features vs the D300, but the speed of operation is so much better that I just can’t believe it. Shooting raw files (and raw+JPG) at full “motor-drive” speed is now possible. I also have a D700 so I’m happy that the controls and the memory-compartment door are now harmonized with the D700.
“Good camera…” 2009-09-09
By Henry Lewis (Panama City, Panama)
Got the D300s to replace the D90 which used to be my back up camera in the event that my D700 fail. I think I got a very good updgrade and a good back up camera. Excellent A/F as good as the D700. I recommend this camera with out any doubt.
“Outstanding!!!” 2009-09-09
By Kevin T. Nguyen-tu (Chino, CA USA)
Bought this camera recently to replace the many years, but still trusty Nikon D200. Took both of them on a road trip recently and was extremely please with the Nikon D300s. The auto focus was super fast and accurate. The video feature was a nice bonus. While I wouldn’t use it often, it does come in handy when I want to illustrate to my friends and families certain scenic views I come across.
The ability to shoot many frames per second and the auto focus system being able to keep up with it was beyond my own expectation. The picture quality and low level noise was nice. I was able to do ISO-1600 perfectly where I couldn’t before using D200.
Highly recommend this camera to anyone. [...]
“Amazing hardware, poor software” 2009-09-02
By Sachin D. Bansal (CA, USA)
This is a excellent camera and better than D300 interms of ISO. All reviews apply on D300 apply here with extra tweak in performance. Video feature has some work pending, however over a course of time it should get corrected. I have nothing but 5 star for this hardware. However i have some problems with software this camera comes with.
- No camera control software to connect with PC (optional), Canon has it free.
- It comes with ViewNX but that can’t crop the pictures. hence you will have to convert RAW (NEF) pictures to JPEG to crop in third party software. This is pity feature which must have been in the software.
- In camera video editing is basic (poor than Canon).
- Nikon should have a Video for every new camera as option to read its thick manual.
- No cheap remote for this camera from Nikon.
- No auto rotate in live view mode.
- No way to take picture while video is ON.
- No way to pause the video in recording mode.
- Charger still has an extra cable.
