Excited D300 User!

I bought an extremely lightly used D300 (<100 shutter actuations) via Craig's List for $1400. I love this camera, but haven't shot nearly as much as I would like since I got it.

Anyway - with my old D50, this shot was impossible (very poorly lit outdoor stadium) without incredible noise problems. I will get to know this wonderful camera over the next few weeks and months. I need about 10000 shots until it becomes and extension of my hand. The AF is awesome with this camera.

And the skin tones - whoa...

Just wait til I get comfortable!

Good capture Jeff. Glad you praise the camera so much. I have one on my want list...

I'm saving for one also.

Wish your Exif data was there to read to be able to check the vitals of this shot.... it is a good one.

Jeff, I'll second your post here. The D50 is a really good camera for the money but I found it to be very limiting in shooting sports. The D300 is simply amazing! I can't wait to get into baseball and softball to see how the D300 performs. Thanks for the post!
