You read
right, TIFF mode is back and after 2 weeks I'm still wodering why.
For my style I have no use to such monster files and it doesn't come
close to the full benefit of RAW.
Is it
worth the trouble of changing my D200 for a D300?
There are a
few reasonable 'excuses' to tell your wife that you need a D300. I
won't mention them all but to me the most important reason the new AF
system. If you like me have a reasonable amount of non-AFS lens or if
you work in low light environments, you will benefit from both, the
AF system and low noise at high ISO on the D300 compared to the D200.
I seldom go beyond ISO 800 but realistically being able to go beyond
that with lower noise open the door to possibilities and creativity
we just were shy before to do. To me the D300 is worth every penny.
In my dictionary, the new Nikon D300 is a full professional camera.
The D2Xs and D2Hs are pro cameras right? Well, look at the features
on the new Nikon. They have eclipsed in many aspects those from the
$5,000 big sisters for just $1,799. Add the vertical grip and for
little more than $2,000 you have 8FPS at full 12MP (remember the D2x
had to go crop to achieve this?). Do I recommend this camera? What do
you think? If your shooting is more passive, you don't have AF-D
lenses and shoot above ISO every blue moon, the D200 will suit you
well for a long time. I'm keeping mine.

The D300
is the heck of tough camera |
PS,
I decided not
to go thru some topics, they have been heavily addressed on the web already.
