Book Reviews
If you've looked at the Nikon D300s's manual and realised you need a little bit more information, this book is the perfect supplement. The book covers the camera's controls and how to use them extremely well and it also gives you good points for shooting subjects such as portraits. The book's easy to work through, simple to understand and is split into easy-to-follow sections. It's also well illustrated and the images are well captioned. If you're using the Nikon D300s and need a new g...
If you're looking for a comprehensive, straightforward guide on how to use your Nikon D300s you should take a look at this book. The book covers the basics right through to more advanced advice for a user who's had their camera a while. It has a bit of a school text book feel and there aren't many images to to illustrate the text but this is a small price to pay for the advice that's on offer. It's easy to understand, simple to follow and for the price, you get a lot of useful words f...

Nikon D300s Intervalometer
Thanks for the feedback. I have an android phone with apps but I really need to know if a wired intervaometer will keep the shutter going for as long as I want as I may purchase one if it does, it would also make life a lot easier.

Issue with Nikon D200
I have checked the screws but none of them were loose. I have cleaned the electrical contacts (gently) and allowed the alcohol to evaporate off them and put a lens back on and fired off a load of shots in the back and its working fine. Just have to see if this problem reoccurs now.

D300s Vs D7000
The D7000 from a legitimate source is on £80 Nikon cash back so around £800 after rebate from WEX, compared to about £999 for the D300s. I use both - the D7000 has usefully more resolution, and is better for 14 bit files. The D300s has better build quality and better AF. With the 24 MP D3200 just announced a 24MP "D400" at maybe £1,500 launch price is possible by the end of this year. A D700...

Problem with Autofocus on D300s?
Autofocus on the D300/ D300s is a complex beast. Is the switch to the right of the lens ( as you look at the camera from the front) set to S for single shot, C for continuous (track) autofocus or M for manual? If it is on manual the autofocus won't activate. Does the lens you are using have an autofocus on/off switch? ...check it. How is the focus selector switch set on the back of the...

Nikon D7000 - D300s lenses
I went to Jessops to buy a Canon 550d a few months back. However, the sales chap was desperate for me to buy a Sony alpha something or other and was giving me the full sales patter. I presume he was on some kind of commission. Apparently the Sony camera is FAR superior to Canon as it has IS built into the body!! I ended up coming away with the Nikon D5000 because it felt good in my hands :P...

New D300s
Rawtherapee gets some good reviews, and is compatible with the the D300, plus many other cameras. I've used it in the past, and I assume it's got better. :) Oh, and it's free. ;) I had a look at this yesterday. Pretty good program. Thanks for the tip.

A decent landscape lens for the D300S
I used the Nikkor 16-35mm for a while on my D80 before switching to D700. Amazingly sharp. Also seen the 18-35 and 17-35 (blows them away!) How about the 20mm AF? Great for IR too and gives 28mm approx Really sharp, really light!

Anybody use both a D3/D3s AND a D300s?
Often it just amounts to personal preference; some people like a variety of bodies other stick to the same body; I was about to say that it could also apply to relationships but as it may offend I won't say it. ;)
