Thom Hogan has posted his review of the Nikon D300.
“We’ve seen plenty of examples of aggressive design decisions from Nikon in their eight years of DSLR making, but the D300 is amongst the most aggressive of all”
But read yourself as Thom Hogan is known for his critical views. BTW, his D300 guide will be available for pre-order next week. If his new guide is as good as the D2H I have from him I highly recommend this book.
Dpreview finally has posted it’s long awaited review of the Nikon D300. Here is their strong conclusion:
“Nikon’s biggest problem now will be bettering the D300; it raises the bar to a new high, and represents the state of the art despite strong competition from the likes of Canon, Sony and Olympus. There’s simply no better semi-professional digital SLR on the market.”
Nikon has released a new firmware A 1.02 for the D300 (downloadable at your Nikon site). Akkording to Nikon it solves a rare problem of vertical stripes if exposure is > 8 seconds.
After a leakage about the awaited new Nikon D60 at Dpreview there is the official anouncement at Dpreview:
10 MP, sensor cleaning function, active D-Lighting, compact body (probably D40 like) but no in-camera autofocus motor (exactly like the D40) – IMHO not a good move until they don’t announce new primes with AF-S….
Michael Reichmann, owner of the well known Luminous Landscape site, has posted an interesting “attempt to help Canon users understand what the latest Nikon cameras have to offer, (and visa versa) and how they differ in terms of features, functions and ergonomics”. Two excerpts:
“After being away from Nikon for the better part of a decade and having been immersed in the Canon gestalt since then, I was frankly surprised at the extent to which current Nikon cameras offer feature and function advantages over Canon.”
and
“For its part the full-frame Nikon D3 is a direct challenge to Canon’s 1 Series, which has dominated the pro marketplace now for more than half a decade. The 1D MKIII is right in the D3′s bore sight, and the D3 matches it or surpasses it in IQ, sensitivity, and resolution.“
