Comments about Nikon D300s Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):
I am a student photographer at a NC University and I have used other cameras such as the Nikon D300, D2x, D3, and D3s. The D300s is by far the best camera body I have used for the best price. It basically has all of the capabilities of the D3s but half the size and half the cost. I would recommend getting 2 D300s cameras before buying a D3.
I love it's fast shutter speeds and high iso range. Typically I don't go any higher than 1600, but I have shot above that and the image quality is still clear.
Great for sports, landscapes, nature, weddings, low light situations, and with it being lightweight and having a built in flash you can also use it as a family camera.

First DSLR and really pleased.[...] Very pleased with the results especially the versatility of the camera. Can't say enough. One small kink, once you put a good lens on body it does get heavy. But a very small kink considering every thing this camera does. The quality of the pictures beyond words. No lost shots due to shutter lag. What you see is what you get.
