Standing still, waiting for that moment, making a model pose in a certain way to get the desired effect, with all those lights doing their thing... Snap and you get the perfect shot. And that, friends, was the easiest bit!
Now, imagine this... You’re surrounded on all sides by white snow glistening with sunlight. You’re shooting a bunch of cars that are drifting on a track made of ice with the fierce glare of the sun trying its utmost to ruin your shot. And yeah, the cars are zipping past at over 120 kilometers per hour. You point your DSLR, focus on the moving subject and press down the clicker for a second.
The D300s captures seven shots out of which five are just perfect. With that, it had passed the litmus test. Now, let’s get on with the technical bits.
Built like an armour clad machine, Nikon D300s feels a bit bulky but pretty comfortable to hold. Like its predecessors, it’s built to resist the elements and is exactly the kind of snapper you’ll like to hang on to when getting ready to wrestle with nature to get that perfect shot of the king of the jungle leaping at its unsuspecting prey.
Constructed from a magnesium alloy frame with rubberised panelling around its grip, thumb rest and sides, it prevents water and dust incursion. The menu and the settings interface are user-friendly and will at the maximum take you 15 minutes to figure out. One of the most interesting bits about the D300s is its 7 frames per second (fps) continuous shooting -- which makes it perfect for sports or fast action photography.
As a picture snapper, this 12.3 megapixel device is undoubtedly as good as the D300. But what stands out is the video mode which is one of the most important additions to this model. Now you can shoot 720p high-definition footage (1280 x 720p) at 24 frames per second.
Nikon has also added some more functionality to it through the dedicated microphone port.
You can autofocus during recording and do some basic editing work on the camera itself. Another interesting addition would be the slot for the SD card which has been placed next to the CF card holder.

You get a whole lot of configuration options for these two. The camera also scores when it comes to shooting at higher ISOs in low light situation
s -- Nikon has successfully reduced the noise levels compared to previous models.
The Nikon D300s is frankly on par with the D300 when it comes to clicking images. The photo quality is excellent, the colours somehow look a lot better and the images seem brighter and livelier than those shot with others.
But one of the major differentiating points between the D300s and the others has to be the video mode, but somehow we feel, from our own experience at least, that with such a superb camera in hand we’d rather spend time shooting images than making videos.
While the 12.3 megapixel resolution that the D300s offers is good enough for most professionals or amateurs, rival camera maker Canon has comparable offerings at 15-18 megapixel.
But having said that, it’s definitely among the best in its class. Fast, easily navigable features and settings, amazing final shots...
