Hey Look, It's the LCD Screen on the Back of a Nikon D300s DSLR
That's what we're supposedly looking at, gleaned directly from Nikon's site. Besides D300s splattered on it, note the SD card slot logo, matching earlier rumored specs. It's not a D400, but D300 + HD video, we'll take it. [Nikon Rumors] -

Nikon D400 DSLR Spec List Claims 14.8MP Sensor, 1080p HD Video
Nikon just announced the D3x, and popped out the D700 a little bit ago, so next to be updated is the D300, right? Here are the first round of supposed specs for the D400. -

Rumor: Nikon Planning 1080p-Capable D400?
Whether it's wishful thinking, educated guessing or true leakage is unclear, but the photo nerds are now abuzz about a Nikon D400 follow-up to the D300 we love so much, which would have D90-like video capability that could potentially rival Canon's 1080p-shootin' EOS 5D Mark II. If that was all gibberish to you, don't think on it a moment further. But if what you just read gave you a feeling down in the nether regions that you'd prefer not to discuss, go check out Photography Bay for the full rumor rundown. [Photography Bay] -

Nikon D300 DSLR Lightning Review
The Gadget: Nikon's D300 is a 12.3MP camera with 200-6400 (hi mode) ISO, a 3-inch LCD, 51 autofocus points and a prosumer magnesium body on the fence, but teetering more towards pro than consumer. Inside is a DX-sensor, not quite the FX sensor found in the better D3 and D700 cams. It's not directly competitive with either the cheaper 50D or the more expensive 5D from Canon.

Nikon D3 and D300 Firmware Updates
Hot on the tail of the D700 release, Nikon let loose firmware 2.0 for the D3 DSLR, making the amazing camera even better. The main points of interest are improved autofocus and white balance, but I've blockquoted the laundry list below. The D300 gets a firmware update to 1.03 to fix incorrect battery indicator readouts, which is not nearly as exciting. [Nikon via Rob Galbraith via Gadgetlab, photo by DPReview] More » -

Nikon D700 Shots Revealed as Fake
Darnit darnit—that's what you'll be saying if you're an eager Nikon fan, waiting for the new mid-range D700 DSLR. Those shots we showed you in our previous rumor post? Yep: faked. Over on NikonD700.com they've got a link to the original pre-Photoshopped image on Flickr. It's of a D300, and is clearly of a higher quality and resolution than the D700 fake. See below for the full pic. More » -

Nikon D300 Firmware Update
The freshly posted firmware update 1.02 for the D300 solves a bug that slapped vertical bands across pics shot at exposure times over eight seconds. Weird problem, fixed now. [For Windows For Mac via Rob Galbraith] -

D300 Test Shots: A "Photogenic Weekend" With a Japanese Babe
While you're drooling as the sample shots from Nikon's full-frame D3 begin to roll in, maybe consider coming back to reality a bit to its able-bodied little cousin, the D300. Here, Impress puts one in the hands of a Japanese pro for a round of test shots under natural light (bounced off of reflectors) for a "photogenic weekend" with a hot Japanese actress. The tester was quite pleased with the D300's rendering of skin tones under Nikon's freshly-tweaked "Picture Control" color management system, and I must say I'm in agreement. A few more after the break. More » -

DPReview Does a 12-Page "Preview" of Nikon's D300
Phil over at DP Review is previewing the D300, and although they call it a preview, without verdict, it is a 12- page affair with almost every detail of the new camera. That photo above is a representation of the camera's 51 AF segments. Nuts, huh? He also runs down the liveviewfinder LCD and the HDMI output, along with dozens and dozens of other features. Given his wealth of knowledge, we're glad his slight impressions are in accord with our first impressions, however brief our look was. I can't wait for sample shots. [DP Review] -

Hands On D3 and D300 Impressions: Beefy and Beautiful
After holding the D3 and D300 for several minutes, the Digital Rebel XTi I'm using (blasphemy at a Nikon event, I know) feels like a fucking toy—when I fired the D3 on burst mode, I felt like Arnold firing the minigun in T2 between the rapid clacking and the weight. I've never held a more solid-feeling camera, though. (The D300 isn't exactly a featherweight either, but you won't need to swallow some spinach beforehand.) And the LCD screens: gorgeous. You could watch movies on them. Jump to keep reading and see the D300 from all angles.

Nikon D300 DSLR Announced, Rocks 12.3 Megapixels and Live View Goodness
Nikon also announced the D300 today, as was heavily rumored. Its latest prosumer DSLR is loaded with a 12.3 megapixel DX format CMOS sensor (the one Sony just announced), 6fps burst—it goes up to 8 with the optional battery pack, HDMI support with 1080i playback, 200-3200 ISO range, live view and a 3-inch viewfinder (the same as the D3's). It too is shipping in November, with a body-only price of $1799. This is a lot of camera for less than half of what the D3 costs.
