The Nikon D300 is a digital single-lens reflex (SLR) camera designed for professional photographers and serious amateurs. The model number suggests that it is the successor to the Nikon D200, $1700 (review), which was introduced in 2005 with a metal chassis, weather sealing, a large viewfinder, and metering capability with all Nikon manual-focus lenses with auto indexing (AI) since 1977. The Nikon D300 retains all of those features plus a number of significant improvements such as Nikon's new auto focus (AF) system, 8 frames per second (fps) capture rate with the optional MB-D10 battery pack, live view, and automatic sensor cleaning.
Nikon introduced the D300 on August 23, 2007, along with the Nikon D3. The two cameras share a lot of features and some components. The main difference is that the D3 has a larger 23.9x36mm sensor, which is essentially the same size as a traditional 35mm film frame. Nikon now refers to that sensor size as the FX format.
