  • Excellent performance and photo quality; solidly built; extremely flexible custom settings architecture; onboard wireless flash controller.
  • A bit too expensive, given the competition.
  • Visibly better photo quality and slightly improved performance make the Nikon D300 a significant upgrade over the D200 and an excellent all-around choice.

  • Mode raw sur 14 bits, Système antipoussière
  • Pas de mode vidéo, Prix élevé, Capteur
  • Si Canon se paie la part du lion dans le monde des appareils photo numériques reflex, les challengers ont toujours leur mot à dire. Témoin, Nikon dont le D200 avait déjà trouvé un écho très favorable malgré quelques défauts. Son le successeur, le D300,...

  • Abstract:  La nuovissima D300 è una professionale compatta in formato DX, a cui manca solo il full frame per raggiungere le doti della costosa e raffinata D3. Naturalmente il termine compatta va considerato in senso relativo, visti i 900 grammi di peso (con la ba...
