Reviews of the Nikon D300 (w/ 18mm-200mm lens)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Excellent performance and photo quality; solidly built; extremely flexible custom settings architecture; onboard wireless flash controller.
The Bad: A bit too expensive, given the competition.
The Bottom Line: Visibly better photo quality and slightly improved performance make the Nikon D300 a significant upgrade over the D200 and an excellent all-around choice.
