The automatic sensor cleaning works amazingly well and is a big step in terms of better user experience. Especially when one is forced to frequent lens changes, this function makes sense. The ISO values are quite passable even at ISO 3200 without noise reduction. The integrated flash devices seems to me more than the D100 and D200. He lights up, even longer distances from clean. Although the new Live View mode is an interesting gimmick and very practical for macro shooting on the ground, is however for the normal landscape photography not necessarily. Since the image every time you print off the shutter button again and turns, some confusion arises.
A pleasant fact is that you can now combine the RAW image quality with JPEG fine. So fit on a 4GB CF card while merely about 115 photos, but it has the optimal original RAW file (for books and posters) as well as the data reduced JPEG file (for slide shows on monitor) always at hand.
Even after a full test Afternoon talked to my surprise even the Battery EN-EL3e quite well. A test in cold weather I will perform. Last but not least is the very clearly designed manual and the accompanying software CaptureNX (full version) mentioned positively.
Viewed over the whole thing's Nikon D300 a finely processed, stable, highly functional Semi-Professional camera with many attractive new features.
