Nikon D-SLR D300 or simply Coolpics!

Just a frog



I thought we'd have a look at what you'll get for a $2500 Nikon. Firstly you'll get the body, no lens.

Then you'll have to buy the lens.

And the $2500 is discounted by about 25%. So you are getting a bargain here. Better believe it and take it seriously and the big plus you'll get is speed.

We're talking about the new D-SLR D300 which in every man's digital terms is expensive. But Nikon carries with its brand that personal recommendation we can rely on.

Here is what Nikon has to say about it.

The sheer imaging power of a new 12.3 effective-megapixel DX Format CMOS image sensor with integrated A/D converter; the precision processing and astounding speed of Nikon's original EXPEED digital image processing concept; the unprecedented focusing speed and precision of a new 51-point AF system; Nikon's innovative new Scene Recognition System for optimal autofocus, auto exposure and auto white balance performance; the composition and focusing ease of a large new pentaprism viewfinder that provides full 100% frame coverage; an expansive 920,000-dot, high-resolution 3-inch LCD monitor with wide viewing angle; near-instant power-up and immediate response; all with the advantages of Nikon DX-format agility and system expandability. Meet the new generation digital SLR camera that blends all these advanced features into one fine package — the Nikon D300


To sum up, pixels, speed and precision, focusing, PENTAPRISM view finder, with 100% frame, high resolution, advanced features.

Exclusive optional wireless transmitter. ( if you're game)

Incidentally, although I could not find images (other than cameras) taken with this Nikon, I did find some taken with Nikon Coolpics, at considerably less cost. So, do think about what you actually need.

Incidentally, Nikon has a nice little video featuring coolpics, very quick and easy, anyone can do it. The second run is best, no stopping for buffering.

Another great post katyzzz.

It's amazing how good the digital camera's are these days compared to the clunky low-res things of just a few years ago.

Lovely clear images of the birds. I read somewhere that the frogs are the first to disappear when an area is becoming polluted or unhealthy. So he's not 'just a frog'. If you have frogs, that's a great thing. Can't say the same for cane toads though.

Cheers.

Good point Rosemary and your feedback should help a lot of undecided people. Thanks so much for your comments.

You're right about the frog, it's just that I did not know its origins, i.e. which camera was used to take it.

Nikon, pretty.

I'm waiting for the Sony A700 though.

What you might find amusing is where Nikon get their sensors from.

Nice pics, good review.

Josh, things can be funny like that, I'll see what I can find on the SONY, if not the 700.

Why SONY for you?
