  1. To take better photos,you have to use digital SLR cameras.We can help you.If you want to buy digital camera accessories,contac me: perrin@jjc.cc,skype:jjc-photography Thanks a lot
  2. Can you explain more about the in Camera HDR? Is this the same as the multiple exposure option that is also available in the D300? How is it used? Thanks.
  3. nikon came back ever strong. It looks like more folks are switching to nikon from canon! this was reversed few years back.
  4. I'm picking up my D300s tomorrow. I'm finally upgrading from my trusty workhorse the D50. A real kicker for me was the SD card support. Can't wait to take it out shooting this fall.
  5. Is this still a DX sensor? Pity it isn't full frame. Also, why not 16 bit NEF versus 14 bit?
  6. Just received my D300s today. Love it. So many features and improvements. I am upgrading from a D80 so you can quess how delighted I am. Like the dual cards and the choices you have in how to use the cards. Can't wait to put it through a field test.
