The D100 was a very long-lived model, and wasn't superseded until the launch of the D200 in late 2005. The 10.2-megapixel D200 is still available, costing around £800 body-only, or around £1,650 with the same 17-55mm f/2.8 zoom lens seen in this review. The D300 joins it in Nikon's range, providing a short step before the giddy heights of the 12.8-megapixel full-frame D3 professional camera, costing around £3,400 body-only. The D300 was launched at the same time as the D3 in August last year, and shares many of that camera's features, however it has a 12.3-megapixel APS-C sized CMOS sensor, which as far as I know is the same Sony sensor as found in the Sony Alpha A700."</em><br /><br /><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/dht/auto/1203633192.usr1.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />If you're looking for another point of view on the Nikon D300, here's Cliff Smith's take from Trusted Reviews. Overall, it's s decent article, though without image samples, it's hard to show people what you're talking about (Trusted Reviews never seems to include image samples or video samples). Owning the D300 myself, I can say it's the most amazing camera I've ever used - but it makes more sense to show you why I'm so happy with it. Watch for my next post coming up quick...
