When you purchase a digital SLR, it's very important to get the best value for your money.
I was pleasantly surprised when I purchased a new digital SLR recently.
I bought a new Nikon D300 and was amazed at all of the features I got for the price.
I'm never one to get rid of old things, so I kept my old SLR after buying my new camera.
I'm an avid photographer, so I'm comfortable with features like: - aperture features - varying shutter speeds - ISO and more It was important that my new camera did everything my old SLR model could do.
So are you wondering what I would consider a good value for the money compared to the Nikon D300 price? The automation features really caught my eye.
But the camera was loaded with other great features as well.
There are far too many to list them all, but here is a good look at the basics: - Viewfinder - grid lined - Viewing - live - Several playback type options - Connection for HDTV - Shuttering - great - motorized autofocus for AF-I and AF-S Nikkor lenses - Special controls for built-in flash - Wireless - enabled technology - Battery - long life with quick recharge time - Remote control included - Shutter delays - varied - GPS included - Shutter release cord - remote operation - Software for editing and imaging With all of the expectations I had for this camera, the price for the Nikon D300 is appropriate.
While it is a professional grade camera, it is designed to give amateurs great photos, too.
The manual is helpful for using the camera from the get-go because there are helpful explanations for taking certain shots, using the lighting and more, which those with little SLR or photography experience will find useful.
With all things considered, the camera is great, and I think it's a good value for the money.
