In terms of absolute image quality the D300S doesn’t offer much improvement over older models such as the Nikon D200 or D300. Its noise performance is good
But not as good as fullframe cameras such as the D700 or Canon 5D MK II. But it will probabl...
Continuous autofocus not available during movie recording
Movie recording clips limited to 5 minute duration with 720p resolution
Autofocus groups not visible in viewfinder at all times
Exposure meter and histogram not available on LCD monitor during Live View.
HD video AF available only in tripod mode and is slow
Only minor updates to D300
HD video time limited
No AF for video
Basically a minor update to the D300
JPEGs at default settings are slightly soft-looking
14-bit RAW mode shows continuous shooting from 7 fps to 2.7 fps
Auto white balance has trouble with household incandescent lighting (not unusual
Unfortunately)
Default noise processing takes a gre...
With all the features available
You will want a strong lens to reap the benefits on this camera.
Low-ISO images are softer than those from competing cameras. Limited HD video recording options.
Some annoying design and interface quirks
No significant improvements in high ISO noise performance.
Unreliable white balance under artificial lighting
Slight tendency to overexpose in contrasty conditions
The Nikon D300s is the latest 12 megapixel snapper in Nikons DSLR range.The top end of the amateur DSLR market has never been so tempting. For those willing to forgo the luxury of a full-frame body such as the Nikon D700, Canon 5D MK II or Sony Alpha ...
The Nikon D300S is a couple of hundred pounds more than when the D300 was first launched, but a lot of that can be placed on the present financial climate and a strong Yen. But even though we can expect the price to drop a tad after launch, it’s still ...
Abstract: When Nikon launched the D300 over two years ago we regarded it as the best APS-C camera yet, thanks to its blend of features, performance and build. A lot has happened in the intervening years – step forward the Nikon D300S…At first glance, even the mo...

Faster shooting; Virtual Horizon feature; 720p video recording; stereo microphone port built-in; very short viewfinder blackout time; autofocus possible during video recording.
No 1080p video recording.
True to Nikon’s naming conventions, the D300S isn’t a major change from the D300 but the company hasn’t simply slapped on video recording on the D300 and called it a D300S either. Although Nikon didn’t change what wasn’t brok...

Abstract: Je viens de renvoyer le D300s à l'équipe de Nikon après avoir joué avec pendant mon voyage photo à la Réunion et Maurice :) Cet appareil m'a enchanté et me conforte dans l'idée qu'il n'y a pas que les pixels dans la vie, il y a aussi l'ergonomie, le viseu...
performances exceptionnelles pour la catégorie, qualité d’image, solidité du boîtier, double emplacement pour carte mémoire, enregistrement vidéo
quelques bizarreries de design, pas d’amélioration dans la gestion de la haute sensibilité
Le remplaçant du D300 n’apporte que quelques améliorations à son prédécesseur mais il le fait très bien. Et la qualité des photos prises reste excellente....
Abstract: Le Nikon D300s vient donner une petite touche de jeunesse à l'excellent D300 présenté il y a tout juste 2 ans. Pas de révolution donc, mais quelques améliorations pour repositionner le reflex semi-pro face à une concurrence toujours active (Canon 50...
