Nikon D300 Demo Review Tips

thank you for the nice comment!

You should have been stating the new featers briefly and giving everyone an overview of topics being discussed in training video's.
Positive: the video series is absolute top for beginners, but doesn't really highlight the D300 like she should deserve.
Just my five cents...
Now let the flaming of my message begin :-/
T.

Lenses do have the tendency of being out of focus on the outter sides which is also for ages and you talk about the nice colors without showing them?
The best camera i've ever used is the D3, not the D300. A little note on the D3 should be made since it's the same technology but FX-size and has more processing power (thanks to the hefty price tag)
Also, this 18-135 lens kit with the D300 should be noted as well since it's one of the better consumer lenses out there (certainly for it's price tag)

DoF Preview has been there for years on dSLRs now, what has this to do with the D300 Demo Review? A Review highlights the new or improved features (like the last minute stating high ISO's but not showing a proof of it).
Like: 51 focus points, face detection, real working white rectangle, burst speed, big buffer, nice colors (although you have to tweek them a bit), sensor cleaning, Mpixels, etc

you probably own a 6mp rebel
shoot manual

you must be one of those silly Canon fanboys. You know, just about every camera needs a little tweaking out of the box. Tell me a camera that gives you perfect exposure on every shot, and I'll buy it!

You are right the DoF button is assignable, we do cover this in the DVDs and show how to do it.

We dont have a book, but do have DVDs and free tech support. Thanks for the note

absolute BS info, something anyone who eve owned a DSLR knows. only a promo for their book. And as gxcxandy pointed out - DoF preview button is in fact 'assignable'.

I'm going to buy this amazing camera soon, and will be looking to buy this DVD as well.

... "A lot of the new D300's are shooting too HOT" To fix it you have to turn down the auto exposure! ... SO, basically the D300 comes broken straight out of the box!!!?!?!?

RIGHT ON NIKON!!! KUDOS for sure!!!

Great vid,

I'm going to buy this amazing camera soon, and will be looking to buy this DVD as well..

Cheers!

Great video. I just bought the D300 and love it. How can I buy the DVD?

Dude....I am proficient on the FE and FA series. I use to be a combat and architectural photographer back in the 1980s...but have not been shooting for 20 years. I just bought a D300 and welcome all the help I can get. I bought both of their training videos and will not even unpack the box the D300 came in, until I learn some stuff. So, Dude...don't be so sensitive, duh

This is a quite good video, and useful for me since I plan to buy a D300. Congrats!

that's what I have.. it's a great lens and it will cover 90% of your need. but for indoor sports you will need a lens with a smaller F-stop like the 70-200mm F2.8 lens mentioned by shutterguy. but the price is a little steep.. No matter what lens you get, you're gonna love this machine.. it's a beast.

Thanks for your input Al.

Although, I'm not exactly moved by these types of DVDs I KNOW for fact many of my compatriots will be.

Altogether - I'm glad people have been producing these products. Mainly because there are too many people out there providing 'bad' information.

Kudos.

- Al!

That was understood.

But I think something that would tantalize pros and serious amateurs to these DVDs such as tips geared towards those groups.

Almost all photographer who purchase the D300 or D3 are ones who have done their research.

We've been playing with the D300 and D3 (with the 24-70 f/2.8 and 14-24 f/2.8)...

Cont.

Yes, this is just an intro video, we also put a couple more advanced sections from the DVD also on youtube, see our other videos in this account The two DVDs are 90 minutes each so they cover all skill levels.

Good choice.

Photographers and amateurs who will be purchasing the D300 are not typically neophites.

Other than that, good video.

- Al!

tnx.
I am thinkingf of buyin the AF S VR 18 -200. I tought that it should cover all my needs for the beginning.

I use the 70-200mm F2.8 it also has VR, very good lens.

Yes, we shi to Japan,
Lenses- I have the nikon 18-135, which is a great lens that comes with one of the D300 kits(you see it in the youtube video) , then you will need one for nature that goes from say 80-200 or 80-300 (or numbers close to that) . Having those two lenses should cover your shooting needs.
