“The best autofocus I’ve ever experienced.”

This is the ideal outdoor camera — for both landscapes

and action shots. For sports and action, it is the

autofocus combined with high-speed continuous

shooting that stands out; in fact, I would say that

the D300S delivers the best autofocus I have ever

experienced. And for travel and outdoor shooting, it’s

the lightweight, practical size and rugged overall build

that really shine.

The DX format, with an effective picture angle

equivalent to 1.5x the lens focal length, offers a big

advantage for distance shooting. And the new AF-S

DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED lets me capture

extreme wide-angle images too.

The enhanced D-Movie feature is another great

addition. I was able to ﬁ lm fascinating band sequences,

from extreme wide to long telephoto, all with high-

quality stereo recordings.

It is a camera that lets me do everything.

“The D300S is a persuasive reason to make the jump into multimedia.”

After using the D300S for a month, it has changed the

way I view the craft of photography.

I put this camera to the test in India’s Thar Desert, with

blistering temperatures and high winds driving hot sand

that can destroy a camera. Thankfully, the D300S body

is well sealed and it worked impeccably throughout.

What has me most excited about the camera is its

superior video. I love the ease with which I can switch

between still images and D-Movie. I had tried other

cameras with video functions, but the D300S offers

major quality differences that allow me to create high-

end multimedia pieces. And I am able to use the great

NIKKOR lenses I already have, for gorgeous options.

The D300S is a very persuasive reason to make the

jump into multimedia.

51-point AF — superior ac curacy, amazing speed

The D300S’s Multi- CAM 3500DX AF sensor

module offers an exceptionally wide

area of AF coverage. With 51 AF points

strategically po sitioned across the frame,

it’s designed to capture your sub ject

accurately, even when its movement is

unpredictable. Moreover, this AF module

employs 15 powerful cross-type sensors

in the center of the frame to d eliver the

ultimate in detectio n performance with any

AF NIKKOR lens of f/5.6 or

faster. You can also choose

to shoot with 11 focus points.

Scene Recogniti on System — delivers more sophistica ted information for greater accuracy

The D300S’s intelligent s ensor applications

have undergone a refining pro cess that

has led to a breakthro ugh technology,

Scene Recognitio n System. Using the

precise color and br ightness information

from the 1,005- pixel RGB sensor, Scene

Recognition Syst em pushes the accuracy

levels for autofocus , auto exposure, i-TTL

flash control and au to white balance to

an unprecedented high. A nd in playback
