Product Description

Kit includes: 1) Nikon D300 D-SLR Camera; 2) Nikon 18-200mm ED-IF AF-S VR Lens; 3) Lexar Pro 4GB 133x CompactFlash Card; 4) Extra Nikon EN-EL3e Battery; 5) Nikon SLR Gadget Bag; 6) Card Reader; 7) Card Wallet; 8) Microfiber Cloth. ♦ Nikon D300 includes: Nikon EN-EL3e Battery, Quick Charger, USB and Video Cables, Strap, LCD Monitor Cover, Body Cap, Eyepiece Cap, Eyecup, Software CD-ROM, Nikon USA Warranty. ♦ The D300 benefits from the technological breakthroughs of Nikon's new flagship camera, the D3. The D300 has inherited the EXPEED Image Processing System that drives the speed and powers the processing needed for its most advanced features. The Nikon D300 is a true professional-level D-SLR camera with rugged magnesium-alloy construction and a shutter mechanism tested up to 150,000 cycles that is capable of shooting in burst mode up to 100 shots at full 12.3-megapixel resolution to capture enough detail for poster-size photo-quality prints. The D300's 3.0-inch LCD is strengthened with tempered glass and the body has rubber gaskets and seals on vulnerable entry points to protect it from dust and moisture. The D300 also offers the convenience and safety of a self-cleaning sensor unit. The D300's LiveView feature offers two modes for confirming subjects and composition on the new high-resolution 3-inch LCD monitor while shooting. The D300 reacts with lightning speed, powering up in a mere 0.13 seconds and shoots with an imperceptible 45-millisecond lag time. ♦ The Nikon 18-200mm Vibration Reduction lens is an all-in-one 11.1x zoom which is a perfect choice for both advanced hobbyists and professionals. Equivalent to a 27mm wide-angle to 300mm telephoto zoom lens on a 35mm film camera, it may be the only lens you will ever need. ♦ Whether you are a professional or a serious photoenthusiast, this value-packed Nikon D300 Kit will give you the amazing portraits, landscape, nature, sports, and travel photos you've always wanted.

This review is from: Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR [Vibration Reduction] DX Nikkor Zoom Lens + Lexar Pro 4GB CF Memory Card + Extra Nikon EN-EL3e Battery + Nikon SLR Gadget Bag (Electronics)

The camera is outstanding! However, the third party outfit from whom I purchased the camera, Cameta Camera, did not provide me the extra EN-EL3E battery that was promised in the package I purchased. When I emailed them they ignored me - I already paid for it, so why bother - right?

The camera is fantastic however and the prices Amazon offer are about the best I have found.

This is an awsome DSLR. I owned an Olympic Evolt prior to this and there is NO comparison. For the money, nothing can touch it.... Sure it will take some time to learn the menus and button functions but you can do just about anything you can imagine with this camera. I am a techie and still purchased David Busch's Nikon D300 course book. I don't want to take pictures. I want to take photographs.

I recently ordered this Nikon camera and all the accessories listed for my husband's Christmas gift. Because it was close to Christmas, it took a little longer than normal for it to arrive, but it was well packaged, and even though the outside box had taken a couple of good hits, everything inside was in superb shape. My husband is having a blast with this camera and can hardly wait to get home from work to start clicking pictures again, even though the weather has been FREEZING! He is so happy with this camera and can't believe all the cool things it can do. I don't know that much about cameras, but he has had several great SLR cameras, and this is his favorite of all.
