upgraded to the D300s

13 years 7 months ago #523 by blackdome
It was a difficult decision to make a few weeks ago but I am so glad I did it! I decided it was time to upgrade my lovely Nikon D80 to a Nikon D300s. We had been faithful companions for nearly 4 years and we both knew it was time for a change. So, move over D80 and WOW in comes D300s and what an amazing camera! I cannot believe how easy it is to use. I still love my D80 and will keep him as a spare, just in case, but the D300s is the business. Not especially interested in the movie mode, however that could change when I get around to using it. Picture quality is superb. Anyone else have similar experiences??

That's a nice upgrade. I used a D70S for about 2 years and then upgraded to the D300. There's a ton of new stuff there - take your time learning - learn slowly and practice. I think the D300(s) is one of the best cameras out there.
