#D700 review ken rockwell iso#
This was taken with a D300, 300/4 and 1.7TC ISO 3200 own both the D700 and the D300, I mainly shoot wildlife stuff. Most of the images in my gallery on here were taken using the D300 I would also add the Nikkor 1.4 teleconverter to your 300/4, a combination that I have used on my D300 many times. In your position it may be worth looking at the D7000 rather than the D300, it is newer technology and with the higher number of megapixels which will give you a little more scope when cropping, but I prefer the D300.

The D300 is a fine camera, however the image quality from the full frame D700 is noticeably better, with a greater dynamic range. However I do have a 500mm f4 (and TC's), so reach is less of a concern, although there are times when you never have enough, so if you only have the 300/4 the crop body makes more sense. I always use the D700, images are cleaner and crisper with more detail, focusing is far superior (which is better for in flight stuff), the viewfinder is bigger and brighter, and the D700 high ISO stuff is much cleaner. I own both the D700 and the D300, I mainly shoot wildlife stuff. Grey Squirrel - ISO 2200 by Sootchucker, on Flickr Long Tailed Tit by Sootchucker, on Flickr I own a D3, and I prefer the D700 except that the D700 lacks the 5:4 crop mode I often use (most people don't care). The D700 has the same superb 3' LCD, but handles even better than the old D3 better due to a new INFO button and smarter firmware. To be honest, you can't really go wrong with either. The D700 has image quality indistinguishable from the klunky old D3, both in terms of sharpness and at high ISOs. For once Ken is right - remember before getting 'hung up' on the FX high ISO advantage Ken is reported as saying 'usually '. I'd be interested to hear how others feel who have looked at photos from both cameras. With proper technique, good exposure and half decent PP skills, the D300 is pretty useable upto ISO3200 in my opinion. Ken Rockwell said that he usually can't tell the difference between photos that were taken by a D750 and those taken by a D7200. Also remember that whilst the D700 does have a DX crop mode, it's only at approx 5mp (athough still plenty big enough for an A3 sized print. Aside from reach (and obviously the sensor) there's not a lot of difference in the D300 vs D700 from a functionality and handling point of view, indeed they even take the same Grips and batteries. It was the mass and build quality of the 300 along with it's richer feature set that is just missing from the D7000, as well as little things like one click 100% zoom, that still frustrates me today on the 7000.

Whilst it's true the D7000 has a little better image quality at high ISO, and a small amount of extra resolution, it always seems a harder camera to get consistant results from. NEW: Nikon D7000, D300, D3 (D700) and Canon 5D Mark II High ISO Comparison 08 November 2010. I sold it a while ago as I purchased a D7000. Actually having owned the D300, D700, D3 and the D7000, for birding, if reach was paramount, I would have no issues in taking my old D300.
