 Great Camera November 10, 2009

This is a great camera even if Ken Rockwell doesn't really recommend it. I am a previous D200 owner, but I am very fond of this D300s. I still have much experimenting to do with this. I love my custom setup with vivid colors for landscapes and jewelry but I'm always forgetting to re-set it to normal when I'm taking people pictures. I haven't used the video as much as I want to. One draw back I couldn't edit the video with my Sony Vegas movie editing software, although I may have an earlier version of the software. Has anyone been able to do that?
The 18-200mm is the best Nikon lens made. Extremely versatile and may be the only lens you'll ever need. I love the new locking system.

I'll keep it short and sweet, and my review will also include the review of the 18-200 VR II which was bundled with the D300S as a kit.
Pros:
Dual-slots: This was crucial for me when deciding which camera to purchase because I shoot weddings... and there's no way to recreate the magic of the original moment if your card fails at the wrong time. One CF slot which supports UDMA cards and one SD slot.
Handling of High ISO: I've shot this thing at 1600 ISO with little to no noticable noise. There is a Noise Reduction setting which I never use but have heard good things about.
Battery Life: Easily shoots 800-900 shots per charge
Acts as a Commander to my flash: The Nikon CLS allows your camera to transmit signals to my SB-600 flash
Weather Proof: Body is built like a tank and all the nooks and crannies are sealed up
Video mode: Yawn, I'll never use it, but it's there if you need it.
Live view: This can come in handy sometimes
18-200 lens: This lens is a great walk-around lens and actually pretty compact, considering how flexible your focal length is. VR is amazing and the lens shoots very nice at f8 thru out the entire focal length.

Cons:
Honestly I can't think of any, it's the best camera I've ever owned and a complete bargain!

NICE Camera!!! April 22, 2010

I've owned Nikons almost since they were first available here and I've always been happy with the performance of their cameras. But this is the first time I've been ecstatic over one. I switched from using the old N90s to a D90 two years ago and while I liked the camera, I was put off by the amount of plastic in what was, after all, a $1000 body. I also found the controls a bit hard to get along with -- I'm not a fan of spending a lot of time paging through menus. When the D300s came out I had a chance to buy one and it proved an answer to my complaints about the D90.
The new camera is magnesium. It's 8 ounces heavier than the D90 so it balances better with the heavy 2.8 lenses I usually use. To tell the truth I had a short period of frantic manual reading when I first started using the D300s. Nikon has shifted the controls around so that menu hopping is needed less often, and that's a blessing. It offers about a zillion focusing and metering options - While I normally stick to spot evaluation the camera offers some 51 spots which can be used individually or in groups.
Comparing photos to the D90 I would say theres a definite improvement in the images, although it's subtle. And there are more internal processing options as well. Yet another neat feature is that the camera takes two memory cards. This really is as far as you can take a 12 megapixel camera. Even though Nikon rates this a semi-pro camera the quality of image will answer most photographer's needs for some time to come. One day Nikon will improve the D700 and I'll switch, but until then I'm happy with the D300s (as a matter of fact that's now TWO D300s's).
First Digital SLR January 27, 2010

This is my first digital SLR. I must admit it has sometimes been a little overwhelming, but I've gotten great pictures right from the start. I've had it for almost 2 months now and I am still playing around with it and learning about the features of this camera. I use this camera for outdoor wildlife and for indoor sporting events. I have not been disappointed in its performance. One of the more difficult things for me to settle on has been the various focusing options - and which to use in any particular situation. But one of the great things about the camera is the ease of changing the various options, like focus mode, so that you can easily experiment with different settings to see which works best. If you are looking for a great digital SLR, I highly recommend this one.
Best DSLR on the Planet!! May 12, 2010

Like many reviewers, I researched this purchase for months. This is without a doubt the best prosumer dSLR available, and is actually used by many pros. The dual memory card and video capability are gravy on this primo camera. Purchased from Amazon (best price), no shipping or sales tax, and using the Amazon Store Card I got 12mths no interest. Don't waste anymore time looking. If this camera is within your budget, just buy it. You will be delighted EVERY time you look at the amazing photos you took.
