Probably many of you already seen the news release..

I am starting the thread to see what is your reactions. D300 looks good on spec, but not sure why lowest ISO went uo (from 100 in D200 to 200 in D300, like the older D70) - of course, the highest ISO is 3200 now..not sure how noisy it will be at that point. I personally never use more than 400 ISO, but loved 100 ISO in D200

Another cool feature (I think) is the dust cleaning (if it works) functionality.

D3 - at last a full size sensor from Nikon - but at the higher Pro end body and price - I am sad thinking about my wallet

Actually it has a LO1 mode that brings the minimum ISO to 100. With a full frame CMOS sensor, the IQ should be noticeably better than the d200, and probably give the D2X a run for its money.

D300 cameras now available in some stores and shipping today by most dealers.

D300 arrived. Lives up to its billing, very capable camera.

D3 arrived. Full frame is nostalgic. :smile:

It appears Nikon has done well, I just need more time to shoot.
