Great product, but poor shipment
Nikon D300 is very good camera, but it took 3 weeks to ship the item to my place, poor package.

So glad I bought this
Everyone else has already covered the details, so I'll just add my voice to the chorus. Particularly, I am amazed at the photos shot at ISO3200 and the fact that you can get something truly usable at ISO6400.

Also, the feel of it in your hands is terrific.

Performance and questionable quality
During the first month until the Auto Focus stopped working, I was very impressed with this dslr and Nikkor lens.
Then suddenly the AF would not respond in the middle of outdoor shooting. I am waiting to hear what Nikon service center has to say. Searching a bit on the web I could read other D300 owners complaining about the same fault.
If other people write about this issue I can guess this is not a rare case of technical failure, but rather a sign of insufficient manufacturing and quality level -and this should not happen with a camera of this class. So overall I am disappointed with Nikon.

Fantastic camera
First of all I need to say that I don't own this camera. I own a Canon EOS 40D and I am very pleased with it. D300 is in most aspects at least as good as 40D and in many aspects better, enough to justify the price difference. I had the Nikon for a few days and took some shots. It has amazing ergonomics and image quality. The feature set is fantastic.

Highly recommended.

Very easy using camera
Very easy to make the setting on P mode using the buttons and most of the setting can be made using the buttons.

A custom setting is very easy and can be made fine adjustment later.

Most of all, I like the fine adjustment of White Balance in the menu and can be taken illusion photo by using this adjustment.

Very low noise at higher ISO setting.
I took group of about 150 dance recital photo first time in the theatre yesterday.
I have to make quick move to take the photo because of prohibited photo taken, but result are very good using manual focus and ISO setting at 1600 without flash.

No need to use daytime flash by using D-Lighting system and can be set before taking the photo or make a adjustment after photo taken.
The result is much better quality than the using the Nikon software D-Lighting adjustments.

The only thing I like to have is a 35mm size sensor like D3 model.

The other future did not try yet but I give five stars for the picture quality and true colors.
