Most of the reviews about it and its bigger brother the D700 are very, very positive. Until recently, I had never heard of the D300 or the D700 but as mentioned earlier in this thread, I now have a D300 on its way to me. Even though both these cameras contain supposedly dated technology the reviews lead me to believe they are both still capable of taking very good photographs (at least to meet my requirements).On a side note, I also mentioned only yesterday that I was going to consider selling my D5100 to pay for the D300. Well that happened today. I sold my D5100. Unfortunately, I also found a used D700 at a reasonable price and instead of saving my money, I spent it on the D700. In retrospect, perhaps I should have bought one new camera instead of two used ones but 24 hours ago I had no intention of also buying the D700 (I have to admit that the rapidly falling Australian dollar and Australian import tax law also played a part in this decision). The one important property however that convinced me to buy came down to the robustness and weather proofing of the D300/D700 cameras. I do tend to be hard on my possessions but that's me. The temptation of owning my first full frame camera also played a part.  I believe these cameras will have abilities that will complement the one other camera I own and love, the D7100, and count myself fortunate to be able own three such fine cameras.</blockquote>
