Very nice slideshow Erik. What are the main improvements you have noticed and like in the D300 over the D200?
Hi Loftus, at first i really appreciate the new LCD creen. Is very big, bright and very easy to check images and focus. Really usefull more bright and great underwater, better than the LCD of my D200 or my Fuji S5 pro.
I really love also the Self-cleaning sensor unit, i was be able to cleaning the sensor to times in one week because i was also making photos in dusty places (Egyptian desert), and the cleaning function goes very well.
Camera controls on housing are very good, seems more precise than my DX-D200, expecially for F-Stop dial.
The D300 is a very good camera, i appreciate the new autofocus it seems more accurate expecially for macro. Very good, fast (better then D200) also in low light.
Another big step is the sensitivity of the CMOS, really good shots also with hight ISO (ISO 1600) and good noise reduction.
Definetly: very good mages with accurate and real colours. I think that the EXPEED image processing system is a important big step that make the difference.
Finalliy i found Nikon D300 very easy to use, very good exposures, good AF-Lock, fast autofocus, easy to check images on LCD (expecially underwater with the big and hight resolution LCD) and grat results with good colors.
In Marsa Alam i was using D300 with MDX-D300, TTL CONTROLLER III and 2 YS-90 DUO, Custom Flat Port (form macro) and optical fisheye (lens: Micro 60 mm F2.8 Nikkor and DX AF Fisheye-Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G ED). I will test next days new Ys-250 and also different Nikon lens.
I will prepare a complete article speaking about my personal impressions using this equipment, maybe could be interesting for some UW photographers.
Very happy that you appreciate my images and sorry for my poor english.
Many thanks
