Summary:sapos123
Popular Photography named the Nikon D300 for their official "Camera of the Year 2007" award.

The magazine also reviewed the camera, and noted that "Nikon Capture NX" software was packaged with the camera.

The Nikon D300 is a 12.3-megapixel professional

DX format digital single-lens-reflex (dSLR) camera that Nikon Corporation announced on 23 August 2007 along with the Nikon D3 FX format camera.

It is designated by Nikon as the ultimate in DX format performance.

The Nikon DX format is an image sensor format of approximately 24×16 mm.

Its dimensions are about 2/3 those of the 135 film format (29mm vs 43mm diagonal, approx.).

The format was created by Nikon for its digital SLR cameras, many of which are equipped with DX-sized sensors.

It is very similar to the new D3, with the main difference being that the D300 uses a DX sensor instead of an FX sensor.

In addition, the D300 is slightly more compact than the D3.

It offers both high resolution and high speed (being able to capture 6 frames per second, and 8 frames per second with the addition of an optional MB-D10 battery pack).

The Nikon D300

The Nikon D300 is the LONG awaited successor to the D200, which was introduced way back in 2005. This upgrade isn't evolutionary by any stretch of the imagination -- it's a totally new camera. Here are the most significant new features:

* New 12.3 effective Megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor
* EXPEED image processing "concept"
* Continuous shooting as fast as 8 frames/second (with the optional battery grip)
* 51-point autofocus with 3D subject tracking
* Huge 3-inch LCD display with 307,000 pixels (920,000 dots) with live view support
* Dust reduction system
* Picture Control settings let you have sets of color control settings (think Picture Styles on Canon SLRs)
* Active D-Lighting lets you brighten shadows while taking photos (instead of after)
* Rugged magnesium alloy body is sealed against dust and moisture
* HDMI video output
