Nikon D300S reviews have many positive points, and the digital camera has made quite a huge impact when it was first launched. Nikon D300s is a semi-professional digital SLR which you can choose over D90. If you don’t have much budget for full-frame D700 digital SLR, this camera might be your best shot.
Nikon D300S is an update for its predecessor, D300 which has new features, including contrast-detection autofocus that works in movie mode, both CF and SD slot to make you want to shot RAW more in one card and JPEG in a different card. Absolutely good feature for landscape photographers. Different than D300, this model give you an upgrade to continuous shot from 6fps to 7fps and the capability to record HD video. No need to carry camcoder again!

Although this is a great camera for outdoor photography, especially when you are doing landscape photos a lot, but we don’t think this digital camera has good performance on studio because of high flash-sync and high ISO range.
