Nikon D300

Nikon introduced its D200 D-SLR in 2005, and ever since we've been waiting patiently to see how the next generation could top it.

It can honestly say that the follow up, the 12.3 mega pixels D300, is a worthy successor in so many ways that you may never want to put it down.

With a ton of features and terrific image quality, the D300 stands out as one of the best D-SLR's you can buy. Among the new features are a big 3 inch LCD, a 51 point auto focus system with 3D tracking, two live view modes, and enough manual settings to fill a 421 page user manual.

Although the D300 is still a little expensive for this category, the image quality alone is well worth the cost. Regardless of price, with everything the D300 offers, it easily replaces the D200 as D-SLR.
