Nikon D300
Comments:
The Nikon D300 is the LONG awaited successor to the D200, which was introduced way back in 2005. This upgrade isn't evolutionary by any stretch of the imagination -- it's a totally new camera. Here are the most significant new features:
Review Verdict: The D300 doesn't come with a memory card, so you'll need to pick one up if you don't have one already. Like its predecessor, the D300 has a CompactFlash slot that supports both Type I and Type II cards. It also supports the super high-speed UDMA CF cards.

Cons: The dioptre adjustment on the viewfinder is so stiff that it can only be moved at the cost of a broken fingernail.
