Nikon D300 DX-Format Professional Digital SLR
The Nikon D300 is a legendary workhorse that set a new standard for the DX-format professional lineup. Combining a 12.3-megapixel CMOS sensor with the powerful EXPEED image processing system, the D300 delivers stunning image quality, rapid response times, and the rugged durability that professional photographers demand. Whether you are shooting fast-action sports, elusive wildlife, or breaking news, the D300 is engineered to perform in the most challenging environments.
Professional Speed and Precision
Blazing Fast Performance: Capture the decisive moment with a continuous shooting speed of 6 fps (expandable to 8 fps with the optional MB-D10 battery pack). The camera features a near-instant 0.13-second power-up and an ultra-responsive 45-millisecond shutter lag.
51-Point AF System: Utilizing the Multi-CAM 3500DX autofocus module, the D300 offers 51 AF points, including 15 cross-type sensors. Nikon’s 3D Focus Tracking uses color and light information to maintain tack-sharp focus on moving subjects across the frame.
Scene Recognition System (SRS): An intelligent 1005-pixel RGB sensor analyzes the scene before the shutter is released, optimizing autofocus, auto exposure, and white balance for superior accuracy.
Advanced Imaging and Display
High-Resolution 3.0″ LCD: Review your work on a super-density 920,000-dot VGA monitor. With a 170-degree viewing angle and tempered-glass protection, it provides the clarity needed for critical in-field image assessment.
Dual Live View Modes: Frame your shots using the high-resolution screen with two dedicated modes: “Handheld” for standard shooting and “Tripod” for precision focal-plane contrast AF—ideal for studio work or macro photography.
Active D-Lighting: Preserve details in both the highlights and shadows of high-contrast scenes. This real-time processing produces a more natural, pleasing dynamic range directly in-camera.
Self-Cleaning Sensor: A built-in vibrating unit uses four different resonance frequencies to shake off loose dust, keeping your sensor clear and reducing post-production retouching.
Rugged Build for Serious Use
Magnesium Alloy Chassis: The body is constructed from lightweight yet incredibly strong magnesium alloy, featuring extensive weather sealing against dust and moisture.
Pro-Grade Shutter: The shutter mechanism has been tested and rated for 150,000 cycles, ensuring long-term reliability for heavy-duty daily use.
ISO Versatility: A wide native range from 200 to 3200 (expandable to 100 and 6400) allows for clean, high-resolution imagery in a variety of lighting conditions.
