Nikon D300s Review

This summer, about two years afterwards the addition of the D300, Nikon appear its successor, the D300s. The new archetypal adds 720p HD video abduction with alternative autofocus, in-camera video editing, an on-board address microphone and a stereo microphone input, a committed button for Live View access, bifold anamnesis agenda slots, faster connected shooting, a new Quiet drive mode, a Virtual Horizon to aid you in befitting the camera level, a redesigned eight-way ambassador with a centred set button, additional an all-new Info button and on-demand awning tips for new users. Pretty abundant aggregate abroad is banausic from the D300, including the environmentally closed magnesium-alloy body, the twelve-megapixel DX sensor, the ample optical viewfinder with 100% anatomy advantage and the anchored 3 inch rear awning with 921,000 dots.

Ease of Use

Pick up the Nikon D300s and you'll instantly feel that this is a apparatus advised for austere work. The physique is acutely able-bodied made, and fits your easily like the accepted glove. Based on the appear specs, I accepted the camera to be absolutely abundant – but in absolute use, it didn't counterbalance me down at all. It's close with metal, but its accomplished weight administration and superb ergonomics anticipate it from activity like a burden. At aboriginal I anticipation this was abandoned so because Nikon supplied it with the bunched and failing 35mm f1.8G lens (which we afresh reviewed), but now, accepting acclimated the D300s with a amount of added lenses as well, I still anticipate that it feels abundant below abundant than you would apprehend based on the specs alone.

The physique appearance and ambit are about on identical to the D300, and a lot of of the controls are in the aforementioned area too. And there are abounding of them – apropos the requirements of the alive pro, Nikon has provided committed alien controls for about all of the frequently acclimated functions, and there are a brace of customisable buttons as well. All this makes for quick and simple operation in the acreage (once you accept familiarised yourself with the camera, that is).

One affair that may abruptness users trading up from a consumer-oriented archetypal is the abridgement of an acknowledgment approach dial. Like the added pro cameras from Nikon – and Canon too, for that amount –, the Nikon D300s has a Approach button instead, which you charge to authority depressed while spinning the rear ascendancy caster in adjustment to change the acknowledgment mode. There are two capital affidavit for this: firstly, it prevents careless changes; and secondly, a button takes up abundant below absolute acreage than a accepted approach dial. Given that the Nikon D300s offers no arena modes, it would accept been about absurd – admitting not absolutely exceptional of – to address an absolute punch to just four settings; P, A, S and M.

On the added duke the drive approach options, which are generally active in a card on cheaper and abate cameras, accept their own punch on the D300s. It is amid larboard of the pentaprism apartment on the top of the camera, but it will not be anon accessible to those alien with top-end Nikon cameras. This is because the drive approach punch – alleged the absolution approach punch by Nikon – is in actuality begin below a array of three ample buttons that accommodate quick admission to the ISO, white antithesis and angel superior settings. A locking pin prevents the punch from adventitious bumps – you charge to authority it down in adjustment to about-face the dial. The accessible drive modes cover single-frame advance, low-speed connected abduction (with the adeptness to customise anatomy amount amid 1 and 7fps) , accelerated connected cutting (7fps, up from 6 in the D300; or 8fps if the alternative MB-10 array backpack is attached), self-timer, mirror up and a new Quiet mode. The endure of these, aboriginal apparent on the Nikon D5000, allows the columnist to adjournment the mirror acknowledgment and the cocking of the bang until [s]he lets go of the bang absolution button. Also, the focus acceptance beep is automatically silenced in this mode, even if you haven't angry it off via the menu. Given that the D300s' mirror is inherently louder than the D5000's, the Quiet approach is still not as quiet as it is on that camera, but neither is it as loud as the added modes.
