Nigel Atherton from What Digital Camera reviews the Nikon D300 Digital SLR, which is replaces the Nikon D200.  One of the changes between these two cameras is an increase in the LCD screen - from 2.5″ to 3″.  It also has increased resolution to 12.3 megapixels and uses a CMOS which will let you shoot more frames per second and use less power as well.

In addition to the increase in size of the LCD screen, they have also increased the screen resolution to allow you to see what you are photographing easily in daylight and also so you can zoom in to check your photos for sharpness and other details.  The Nikon D300 also has live view to let you see what you are shooting in real time.

The D300 has a nice and solid body made from a magnesium alloy and is “built like a tank”.  It is also one of the better digital SLRs in the area of minimizing image noise.  Overall, this is a great camera to consider if you are a professional, aspiring professional…or simply want to take great digital photos.  They give it a 93% rating and a gold award.
