I and I hope many others will refuse to roll the dice on an $1800.00 Nikon D-300 body. I will stick with my F-100 until I hear good things about warranty repair and mean time between failure!
Rating: 1 / 5
I had the D300 for a little over 3 days and the back LCD Monitor failed – it started flashing and wouldn’t quit! Bummer for a $1800 camera.
Over the 3 days the camera had been on for about 5 hours and I had taken about 50 images. I hadn’t taken it out of the house.
I had to send the camera back for warranty repair. It has been 12 business days and Nikon can’t tell me when it will be shipped back to me. Check the web before you buy. The D300 has lots of problems.
Infant mortality is indicative of manufacturing problems and poor quality control. I replaced my D200 with the D300. The D200 was solid and very reliable. If you can’t trust your camera what good is it. What do you do if you’re in Africa, Thailand, etc?
RECOMMENDATION: Ignore the hype. Buy a D200 or wait 12 months till Nikon sorts out the bugs in the D300. Or, heaven forbid, buy a Canon.
I bought the D300 through AMAZON – Cameta Camera. They changed their 800 number to an internationl number with a $5 access fee. They were no help with this problem.
RECOMMENDATION: Buy high-end gear and electronics from Adorama or B&H, they will help you – no problem. Just buy books and CDS from Amazon.

Bought this D300 with 18-200mm package based on the all reviews here for Alaska vacation just week before we left. Pictures came out good to poor and wildlife/landscape pictures came out very soft to soft at 200mm. Lens is not sharp as lot of pics shot wide angle 18mm and telephoto 200mm are soft. Disappointed. Also, lack of experience with Nikon D300 may have hurt me. Initial pictures were shot with RAW+Fine JPEG (14 bit loseless uncompressed) but that slowed D300 in taking pics and took up lot of memory so switched to fine JPEGs with optimal quality. That worked fine. Found Noise in the pics after came home as I had not changed factory camera settings and auto ISO caused some shots taken at 400-800 ISO with noise. Also, somehow factory settings had all my pics shot as bracketed 0EV and then next one -1.0EV for all of them. This will ruin my panoramic pics of landscapes and make my job harder in trying to correct it.
I would rate this camera with 18-200mm VR II lens package 3 stars based on picture quality and performance. Complex menu system with lots of options.
Also, I would like to see Nikon include robust RAW software free instead of buying it.
Hopefully with more experience and lot of manual reading this camera will allow me to take better pictures.
Definitely not for entry level or not too experienced amateurs.

I ordered my Nikon D300 Nov. 18, 2008. I have wanted a Nikon for many years and after I got into digital I wanted a dslr. I decided the Nikon D300 would be the best I could buy. It worked great for about 2 months. Now it has developed the dead power problem. The AF stops working after a few shots. When it is cold it is worse. At first it thought -20 was cold now it thinks 40 above is to cold. Doesn’t matter which lens is on it and a freshly charged very warm batters makes no difference at all. The problem is getting worse fast. Now I am finding lists of people who are having the same problem. I am going to do some calling tomorrow and find out where to send it back. I always believed Nikon was one of the best cameras. I guess I was wrong. I would recommend that you consider some other camera rather then the Nikon D300.
