The D300 defines a new class of compact professional SLR, incorporating
groundbreaking technologies and performance of the D3 into a compact DX
format body. The 12.3 megapixel CMOS sensor features a self-cleaning
dust removal unit and delivers resolution suitable for commercial and
stock photography. The EXPEED image processing engine supports a
class-leading 6fps at up to 3200 ISO, and delivers superb tonal
gradation. Its advanced Scene Recognition System produces superior
exposures and is complimented by Nikon’s next-generation 51-point AF
system, which offers broad coverage and high sensitivity in low light.
Selectable Picture Controls streamline in-camera image processing,
saving time in post-production, and the high definition 3-inch LCD
screen supports two Live View modes plus a HDMI video output.
Responsive, rugged and light, the D300 offers new levels of performance
for pros on a budget.
