January 2010My Review
After using a Nikon D60 for about a year, I decided it was time to move to a more professional camera. I chose the Nikon D300s because I could still use my DX lenses from the D60, and for the video feature, which is really becoming popular. This camera has a steep learning curve, and, if you are looking for an upgrade from a "point and shoot" camera, it can be daunting. However, having said that, it does give the photographer an amazing amount of creative ability. I have shot with Nikon products for over 40 years, having started with a Nikon F Photomic FTN, and the D300s is one of the best I've ever used, and by far the best DX format digital camera on the market.
Camera "pros"
51-point auto focus sensors
"Live view" mode for composition and tripod work
High ISO of 6400 with little if any noise
Weather seals
Assignable buttons, instead of going through the menus for changes
Rugged build
Camera "cons"
It's a little heavy
