    Some shots on my new D300!!

    Recently purchased a D300 with 18-200mm VR . The lens itself entry level but since I'm a new to photography I thought it will be a safe bet. Managed to get some half decent shots off it.

    What do you guys think?

    Great pictures, just bought a D300 myself, if it bloody arrives that is, to go along with my new 70-200mm f2.8 sigma mk2 and my 50mm 1.4 Nikkor prime.

    Very nice, the D300 is such a nice cam. As far as the 'entry' level bit of it is concerned. You can still take gorgeous pictures with entry level gear, its all the hands of the photographer opposed to the gear.

    For example, I shot most of my stuff with a D70s. Which is below entry level in my opinion.

    yeah i agree its more about the photographer then the camera itself a lot of the times, i've seen some ppl doing amazing (even incredible) job even with point and shoot compact camera's. where some guys take just ... "meh" pictures with dslr's.

    a good camera and good gear sure does help but cameras still dont tell you how good your composition is.

    ... Did you just categorize D300 as an entry level camera?

    By your logic a D3 is just a pro-sumer then, isn't it?

    I think he did....

    But it's just perspective. Perhaps he has a fair bit of experience with photography and has a threshold that he considers minimal feature set, which maybe the D70 doesn't have.

    Honestly, now that I have a few years experience with cameras, the low-end DSLR's do seem to be a bit below entry-level

    he said the lens was entry level (i just bought a 'budget' lens for £160, if you want to spend on lenses the sky is literally the limit)
