Comments about Nikon Nikon D300 Digital SLR Digital Camera:

I have just stepped up to a DSLR from the Konica/Minolta A2. After reviewing a number of alternatives--Olympus E-3, Canon EOS 40, and Sony Alpha 700, I chose this for the following reasons--Live View, excellent focus in very dim light, 12 MP, excellent color, good noise control at ISO 1600+. I have not been disappointed in its low-light performance, both in its ability to focus and its noise.

I started with a Nikon 8008 a long time ago then went to C***N and P****X and am now back with Nikon becuase of this amazing piece of engineering. I love the speed and accuracy of the autofocus and the infinite options to customize the camera. Flash photography is very consistend thanks to CLS and Nikons great flash guns. I'll have this camera for a very long time.

ABT has done an outstanding job with my first order. After helping to resolve a wrong phone number issue with my credit card account they upgraded my free shipping to next day air for only 10 bucks. I'll be back.

Bottom Line:

Comments about Nikon Nikon D300 Digital SLR Digital Camera:

One of the best DSLR's around. The strong construction is amazing and the ease of getting to almost all the buttons you need while taking a snap is readily available at your finger tips..The picture quality is beyond comparison and users of any level can easily start taking snaps right away.. I just love the 6 fps and the 8 fps with the Ac adpator or the MB-D10 grip...Took the snap of a grape and after seeing the details captured by the camera in the snap, my friend suggested that I should use this as a microscope....So glad I decided to get this one ...

Service & Delivery comments:

Customer Service was Excellent. Thanks Brian.. infact I had to buy this camera from another place as it was placed on back ordered after I ordered it.. but ABT refunded my money promptly and they were very polite and helpful everytime you called them to enquire about your order status. Very reliable people .Will do business with them in the future.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D300 Digital SLR Digital Camera:

This is my first digital SLR (I am a old film photographer from way back) and it is just awesome. The controls and options are easy to understand and the pictures are great. The Capture NX software the comes with the camera is very useful in editing pictures. The Color control points let you bring in the vivid colors that you remember when you took the picture.

Service & Delivery comments:

The camera came just as advertised and brand new in the factory box with all of the US Nikon warranties. It was delivered very quickly using the free shipment option.

I Bought this camera 12.31.2007 upgrading from the Nikon D70. This was a SUPPER UPGRADE. I only have one Con. That is that you have to hold down the +/- exposure comp. button to us exposure comp, unlike the D70 you could just use the comand dial.
