In this Nikon D300s review, we discuss, continuous frame rate, Active D Lighting and how it affects exposure, f-stops, DOF, apeture, shutter speed, how the camera will make you a better photgrapher, the user interface, and why you would choose this camera over any other Nikon DSLR.
Point 1 in our Nikon D300s review: If you are interested in sporting activities the D300s has a increased continuous frame rate when compared with some other models, like the extremely well-known full frame D700. Together with it’s DX sensor it features a crop factor of 1.5, resulting in more bang for your buck when you use a telephoto zoom lens. If you purchase the MB-D10 battery pack it’ll shoot at even greater speeds of 8 FPS when using continuous shooting, plus it also allows for as much as nearly five thousand photos to be taken on one charge (when you buy the upgraded battery). By using 51 auto-focus as well as 3-D tracking, you’re almost guaranteed to get your subject matter in focus anytime you shoot a photograph. The D300s also features Active D Lighting which makes it so your pictures wind up perfectly exposed so you don’t end up having areas of under and over exposure which are typically common in sports as well as in shadowy landscape photography.
Point 2 in our Nikon D300s review – Freedom: If you comprehend f-stops, DOF, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focus points, light metering along with other technical vocabulary and genuinely wish to test out almost all of these then the D300s may be the camera for you. With shooting modes such as: single, cont.low-speed, high-speed, timer, quiet, along with mirror up mode this particular camera provides you with all of the flexibility you could ever ask for.
Point 3 in our Nikon D300s review – Learning: this particular camera will help you to discover the genuine in’s and out’s of digital photography. When using the extremely accurate light meter it isn’t very difficult to get the exposure just right. Regardless of what your ISO and f stop was set at.
Point 4 in our Nikon D300s review – User interface: User interface. When using the dedicated live view and info button, menu times are down significantly. The D300s includes great features such as custom menus, clear and understandable menus with the classic (?) button that will explain each and every camera function in easy to understand terms. On the fly changes include ISO, WB, Quality, shooting modes, a user adjusted fn button, af adjustments, light metering, and AF/AE. So your only restrictions are your imagination. Picking the focal point is really as straightforward as looking inside the viewfinder, pressing the directional button, and seeing the selector move about til you have the correct place selected. With 2 selectors (1 for shutter speed as well as 1 for f stop) it permits you to never need to take your attention away from the viewfinder.
The final outcome in our Nikon D300s review:
Why pick it over the D90: 51point AF w/ 3D tracking, more fps, control of image adjustments, not very much more cash for a good deal more versatility and creativity, contrast auto-focusing during movies, ability to utilize dual card slots (CF and SD), 14bit RAW, Active D Lighting.
Over the D700: full 12MP when using DX lenses rather than 5MP, more fps, $600-$1,000 cheaper, movie mode, smaller pixels for additional refinement at low ISO, 100% viewfinder coverage
Over the D3 and D3x: mucher more expensive, shooting speed, optimization of DX and FX lenses and movie mode, and built in flash, 100% viewfinder coverage which allows for better framing.

Product Description
This super-wide-angle lens is ensured minimal light-fall-off with superior peripheral brightness. The iris diaphragm has 9 diaphragm blades to obtain beautiful out of focus images in the foreground and background. This is an ideal DG lens optimized Digital SLR camera. Minimum focus distance The minimum focusing distance of this lens is 20cm (7.9 inch) and it has maximum magnification of 1:4 with fast F 1.8 maximum aperture. The minimum focusing distance of 20cm (7.9 inch) and 94.5? angle of view allow close up photography surrounding the photographic subject. Handling The lens incorporates Dual-Focus (DF) mechanism. It is easy to hold the lens, since the focusing ring does not rotate during auto-focus, yet it provides adequate focusing torque of the focusing ring during manual focusing of the lens. The rear focus system eliminates the need for the front of the lens to rotate, thus allowing the use of a Petal-type hood, which is superior light blocking effect. Incorporated aspherical lenses The use of aspherical lens elements in both of the front and rear lens groups effectively compensates for distortion, spherical aberration and astigmatism.
