I consider myself a photo enthusiast and was interested in this new Nikon release which was an upgrade from my Nikon D-80. I'm still learning the many features as they can seem overwhelming at times to an average photographer such as my self. However, learning one feature at a time and putting it into practical use can help you as you grow into this magnificent piece of equipment. I do miss the automated remote shutter feature that was available with the D-80. I did use that feature a lot when shooting group pictures where I wanted to get into the picture and be able to send a signal to the camera with a 10 second delay so I had time to get into a normal position. That feature is not present with this camera and I don't understand why not. You can make it happen if you buy an expensive accessory that works off the hot shoe but it will cost you a bundle. The video is nice and I will use it on occasion but it certainly won't replace my HD Sony when I want to shoot quality HD video. There will be times though when I don't have my HD video camera and then I'll be able to use the Nikon to quickly get those times when you would like a quick video clip. Get yourself a couple good lenses and go have some fun with this baby.

i had been a customer for amazon for quite a long time now. but i noticed that amazon would always jack up the price before the thanksgiving sale holiday. can anyone tell me why? last year, i was watching the sb900 flash which price was $350 right before the thanksgiving day, it went up to $460. last two weeks i saw the nikon d300s price at $1499 and when i was about to buy it today the price went up to $1699. i'm really surprised that other third party seller is staying out their reasonable price. amazon why? you got me twice on this one amazon. for this i'm losing business with you. not good amazon!

I love this camera! It's a backup camera I bought to complement my D700 and for the 1.6 lens factor for my tele lens. Surprisingly, it's been the camera I reach for when I go out to shoot!
I find it operates just as fast and focuses just as quick as my D700 and the Hi 1 aspect of ISO sensitivity is just awesome! Please see the photo inserts under mikechang.photo!
I did not have a chance to thoroughly try out the video functions but from the initial use it's as good if not better than my HD camcorder from Panasonic.
During one of the trip I accidentally dropped the camera from the camera bag which caused the battery cover to pop off and battery (and my heart) went flying out! I was able to popped the cover right back and reinsert the battery without any difficulty. The camera not a scratch! I checked all camera functions and it's files from shootings after all seems to work just fine! What a relief! From all the shooting that I did with both cameras the files looks and enlarges equally well. The resolutions of both sensors were very difficult to differentiate except under extreme enlargements ( perhaps 30x40) where the D700 gives you that added extra crispness and saturation. Otherwise, both camera functions almost the same. Same positions for most of the functions and same size display 3'' screen. It's however, slightly lighter and smaller but feels very solid. For the duration that i have this camera I am very satisfied! And, I really enjoy having this camera (along with my D700!)

I already have a D300 which I have been using for a couple of years. This camera is an incremental improvement. Yes, it does movies just fine.
The controls are about 95% the same as the D300; just a few improvements. I've owned lots of cameras, this is without a doubt the best!

This camera is a big improvement over the D200 which is what I switched from. The picture quality is amazing and you can crop really far into a picture before it becomes pixelated. The only thing I can complain about is that the video isn't too great because you cant focus and shoot video at the same time.
