Like a Expert photographer I’ve been utilizing the Nikon D300 for just a little more than two many years now.
My extremely very first digital camera was the Nikon D100 with 6.2 mega pixel capture, and I was extremely impressed with it. Now using the D300 and it is 12.2 Mega Pixel capture I’m happier.
I specialize in portraiture so skin tones are probably the most essential point to me get correct. And using the D300, the color is so great, so precise which i hardly ever require to create adjustments to right the color.
The vast majority of my assignments are for outdoor places in the seaside, so I use Nikon speedlights to balance the light. 1 from the very first points I observed utilizing Nikon digital cameras is how the ISO ratings aren’t place on. Within the case from the D300 as using the D200 I discovered that what the camera says is ISO 200 is really ISO 160.
I known as Nikon to ask about this and was told how the ISO was intentionally calibrated that method to avoid over-exposures. It is correct that with digital sensors more than exposed places, comparable to slide film, are close to to not possible to retrieve info from. Nevertheless, in my viewpoint, a camera created for expert use as may be the D300, the info ought to be as precise as feasible.
The ISO concern is extremely simple to compensate for and operate close to to obtain place on exposures. So the 1 actual complaint I’ve using the D300, as was the exact same using the D200 and also the D100 prior to that’s this: The optimum synch speed for flash is 1/250th of the second.
I know Nikon is capable of producing a shutter that synchs at 1/500th simply because I also possess a D70s and it does synch at 1/500th. Luckily the D300 will go down to 100 ISO, but nevertheless, in the seaside right here in Hawaii the sky could be so bright that at 100 ISO and 1/125th the exposure is F11 as well as F16.
The issue with that’s merely how the Nikon speedlights only give me F9 at greatest, so the sky can nevertheless get just a little blown out.
Other than that, I’ve discovered the D300 is definitely an superb camera. It includes a heft and really feel of the solid, expert camera. The controls are comfy and intuitive. I adore the menu choices for picture customization, and obviously the Nikon optics are best drawer.
The car concentrate is quick and precise, and functions nicely below reduced light problems. I adore which i can nevertheless use all my older Nikon lenses, particularly my 70~200mm F2.8, that is 15 many years old!
The colour and picture clarity is exceptional, and using the 12.2 Mega Pixel files, I can make enlargements as large as I want with extremely small manipulation.
