Ladies and gentlemen, today our topic is Nikon D300 DX, which is one of the hottest digital cameras in the world. Since so many people are falling in love with it, I think I should share it with you guys today. Well, let’s find out what’s really interesting in this camera.
The Nikon D300 DX is a 12.3MP digital SLR camera with 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Nikkor zoom lens. It is a very professional camera, of course it’s great for professionals who are searching for high configured camera.
The Nikon D300 DX camera features Nikon’s exclusive EXPEED Image Processing System that is central to driving the speed and processing power needed for many of the camera’s new features. The D300 features a new 51-point autofocus system with Nikon’s 3D Focus Tracking feature and two new LiveView shooting modes that allow users to frame a photograph using the camera’s high-resolution LCD monitor. The D300 shares a similar Scene Recognition System as is found in the D3; it promises to greatly enhance the accuracy of autofocus, autoexposure, and auto white balance by recognizing the subject or scene being photographed and applying this information to the calculations for the three functions.
The Nikon D300 DX reacts with lightning speed, powering up in a mere 0.13 seconds and shooting with an imperceptible 45-millisecond shutter release lag time. The D300 is capable of shooting at a rapid six frames per second and can go as fast as eight frames per second when using the optional MB-D10 multi-power battery pack. In continuous bursts, the D300 can shoot up to 100 shots at full 12.3-megapixel resolution.
The Nikon D300 DX incorporates Nikon’s new Multi-CAM 3500DX autofocus module that features an intelligent array of 15 cross-type sensors and 36 horizontal sensors. These sensors can either be used individually or in groups, with the option for Single area AF mode and Dynamic AF modes using groups of either nine, 21, or all 51 focus points.
The Nikon D300 DX incorporates a range of innovative technologies and features that will significantly improve the accuracy, control, and performance photographers can get from their equipment. Its new Scene Recognition System advances the use of Nikon’s acclaimed 1,005-segment sensor to recognize colors and light patterns that help the camera determine the subject and the type of scene being photographed before a picture is taken.
The Nikon D300 DX’s LiveView feature offers two modes for confirming subjects and composition on the new 920,000-dot, high-resolution 3-inch LCD monitor while shooting. The Tripod mode is designed for precise focus and accuracy when the camera is on a stable platform and the subject is not moving.
As a super hot Nikon camera, the Nikon D300 DX comes with loads of impressive features, let’s have a quick look.
