The D300 has inherited the EXPEED Image Processing System that drives the speed and powers the processing needed for its most advanced features. It is a true professional-level 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. Its 3.0-inch LCD is strengthened with tempered glass and the body has rubber 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. Its LiveView feature allows you to confirm subjects and composition on the new high-resolution 3-inch LCD monitor while shooting. ♦ The Nikon 18-200mm Vibration Reduction lens is an all-in-one 11.1x zoom equivalent to a 27mm wide-angle to 300mm telephoto zoom lens on a 35mm film camera and may very well be the only lens you will ever need. ♦ The Nikon MB-D10 Multi-Power Battery Pack provides improved camera handling and extended shooting time. It offers a vertical shutter release for taking portrait and other vertical photographs. The MB-D10 can power the D300 Camera using two EN-EL3e, 8 AA or Nikon EN-EL4/A batteries. ♦ 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars D300 18mm-200mm Learning curve vs manual, May 27, 2008

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 + Nikon MB-D10 Grip Multi Power Battery Pack + Lexar Pro 4GB CF Memory Card + Extra Nikon EN-EL3e Battery + Nikon SLR Gadget Bag (Electronics)

I am quit pleased with the entire deal and product with one exception. I would rate my photography level as semi pro with decades of experience. Both with 35mm and digital formats. The D300 is a wonderful piece of equipment. My only caveat is the manual. We are looking at 421 pages of small print that is the poorest excuse for a manual I have ever seen. Nikon should be ashamed to put their name on this. If you have experience with higher end digital cameras and once you get a feel for how items are arranged on the D300 you will be able to figure out some procedures on your own but there are many that are NOT user friendly and you will need some direction. This is where you will realize how inadequate the manual is. It is obvious the manual was written by techies that know their subject but don't have a clue how to teach/explain. They have their own unique vocabulary that means little to those of us not working for Nikon. The solution is call the Tech Support line. Locating the phone number was an adventure in itself (1-800-645-6689, 1, 1, 1). The wait time can be a few seconds to more than an hour. I found the tech support to be very helpful. They didn't seem to have what I needed right off the top of their head but were able to find it after some time. I didn't feel rushed and they were very pleasant to deal with. A smart person is not the one that think they know all the answers. It's the one who knows where to find them.

You will not be disappointed with the product. The D300 should make you smile.

Best camera for the best price. After much research locally and via the internet, found that most internet offers were a scam with less than quality item, foreign made, offering only didscounted price for a inferior chinese made with plastic parts etc. So was a bit skeptical before receiving my purchase but more than satisfied and happy with all the items in the package. The D300 is by far the best camera on the market, ease of use, superior pictures extremely well made, lens and all items also made by Nikon. Will definitely by from again. Word of caution, beware of other retailers that offer a great deal for this camera, if it is too good to be true it truly is not.

This is a great camera. I had a 6006 before buying this and the abilities of the camera have impressed me immensly. I am glad I spent the money. My only dilema was whether to buy the d300 or the d3. I'm glad I started with the d300. Not only is it more affordable but it offers many of the same features as the d3 so when it's time to buy the d3 it will be a smaller learning curve. I am a huge nikon fan so this was a natural choice.
