    CNET Review

    January 28, 2008

    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.
