Scott Kelby's thoughts on the D300

Postby stubbsy on Fri Dec 14, 2007 10:27 pm

HERE is an interesting read I stumbled on by accident. Scott Kelby (Photoshop guru) has a reasonable length hands on review of the Nikon D300. He compares it to his D200 (which he is selling) and in a lot less detail compares it to his D2Xs (which he is also selling).

It makes me even more excited (is that possible?).

Without clicking on the link Peter, the fact that Kelby compares the D300 with his two existing cams and are consequently selling them I think sums up what he thinks of it. ;)

Thanks for that tip, an interesting read as I am about to make the jump from the D200 to the D300, the 200's going to make a great backup camera :D

Thanks Peter - a top read (as is everything Scott Kelby writes).

I found myself playing with my D300 while reading the article - I didn't know it could do some of the things Scott mentions! (Yeah, I know, I should just read the manual...)
