AMAZING camera...except one thing. Darned if 14bit files....and .jpg files from 14bit shooting mode (obviously converted down to 8bit for .jpg in the camera)make my 64bit Operating System crash while trying to render thumbnails.
If I shoot in 12 bit mode.....everything is absolutly fine.
They have a codec for 32bit operating systems...but not for 64bit. Wrote Nikon and hoping to get an answer soon.
Now...with all that asside...and I am sure I will get that taken care of soon....the camera ...well...lets just put it this way.....I am so glad I sold my D2X to get this unit. It is nothing short of a huge evolutionary step forward.
Would post some inital shots..but their all 14 bit so cant do anything with them right now....but plan on playing this week in 12bit mode to get a feel for it.
It is the FIRST camera I have started to trust the matrix metering on.
More to come later.

While the DPR review of the D300 isn't out yet, there are a couple of lighter weight reviews that are of interest.

Best of the bunch is DCRP review at

Hey Tony, there's a review of the D300 on the Photographyblog by Dutch wildlife photography Jan Vermeer who tested it in Antartica. Thought you might find it interesting. Here's the link: photographblog Happy shooting in sub-zero. Weather in Orlando today: 80 degrees and sunny. I have to mow the lawn . Jim

My yard has a 1/2" of ice on it but it warmed up today as it is -5F.
