So i finally got a call from my camera dealer telling me that the D300 is finally back in stock. I placed an order, waited for it to come for 2 days. It finally arrived today! I rushed there, grabbed the box, checked if everything was in order and was in one piece! And i couldn't help but to keep pausing during the "check-up" and just admiring the D300's tank-like weather proof body.
First impressions, it felt firm, much heavier and bigger than the D40. It felt like a Pro camera that is out to do its duty and no nonsense. I took around half-an hour to set up the camera after referring the user manual and Ken Rockwell's D300 User Guide. After that, i went out to the garden and clicked a few pcitures. Man, they were just outstanding!! The colors were just the way i like them! Well saturated and super vibrant. Even better than in real! And the exposure metering is spot-on. This is one camera that definitely does not come in the way of making a great photo. It lets the photographer just shoot and enjoy. As i said, no nonsense. I love the D300. Already!
I would like to thank my parents, my dearest sister Amulya, Divya, Diji and people close to my heart for encouraging me to go ahead. Thanks to all you friends on flickr for the encouragement! You Rock! [Feels like i'm giving an Oscar award acceptance speach??! ;p ]
Well, thats all for the D300 raving. Its back to making photos! Take care! Until next post, Ciao!
