Abstract: Short version: If you are familiar with the Nikon D300, then you can just expect more of the same. The D300s doesn’t do anything ground breaking, but what it does is add some nice features to an already excellent DSLR — most importantly, HD video and S...
If you've read the entire review, you will hardly have any doubts that the Nikon D300s is an excellent camera. Build quality is superb, handling and ergonomics are first-rate, and the abundance of dedicated external controls leads to quick and straig...
Abstract: The Nikon D300 is already quite a nice little DSLR to play with, and the arrival of the D300s raised a lot of questions like... Is the “s’’ worth the extra bucks? To be honest… Not really, but still the D300s is supposed to be a great camera. As far as...
Fantastic image quality and performance, HD video capability, Unbeatable build quality,
HD video time limited, No AF for video, Basically a minor update to the D300,
When Nikon released the D300, working photographers quickly found their new favorite workhorse. The D300S takes the rugged popularity of the D300 and adds some of the bells and whistles from the D90 to give photographers a modest, but much appreciated,...
Good performance, dual card slots with flexible options, solid feature set, great image quality (especially with higher end glass), excellent low light capabilities, HD video
HD video AF available only in tripod mode and is slow, only minor updates to D300

Outstanding performance for its class; excellent photo quality; solidly built; flexible custom settings architecture; video capture; onboard wireless flash controller; dual card slots.
Some annoying design and interface quirks; no significant improvements in high ISO noise performance.
The Nikon D300s is a great camera, especially if you need the burst speed or slightly improved low-light focus, but if you dont care about video you might consider looking for a really good deal on a D300 and using what you save to splurge on a good l...
Tough build and superb ergonomics, Quick 51-point AF and burst shooting, 3in VGA screen with Live View, 720p HD movies with microphone input.
12 Mpixels looking low next to EOS 7D, No 1080p video or live histogram, PC control software not bundled, Continuous shooting same as D300 in our tests.
With the D300s, Nikon’s taken the already highly capable D300 and further enhanced it with a number of features – some expected, others less so. The inclusion of a movie mode was a predictable, although welcome upgrade, and the microphone inpu...
Keeping technology advancements under wraps is hard enough with the speed information travels today, so Nikon have really managed to surprise the industry when introducing the D300s as a result. Keeping their ergonomic design of previous models and pac...
It’s very fast to operate and offers the fastest continuousshooting mode this side of £3,000. It’s the perfect stepping stone between an amateur and professional DSLR. It’s more expensive than the Canon 50D, but it’s also fast...
In terms of absolute image quality the D300S doesn’t offer much improvement over older models such as the Nikon D200 or D300. Its noise performance is good, but not as good as fullframe cameras such as the D700 or Canon 5D MK II. But it will probabl...
