For a VERY limited time and while supplies last, order the Nikon D300 with Nikkor 18-200mm and Vertical Grip from Calumet.com for as low as $2,209.99!

This Kit includes the Nikkor 18-200mm AF-S DX VR Zoom Lens , Nikon MB-D10 vertical grip multi-power battery pack, replacement Li-Ion rechargeable battery and Dane-Elec 2GB CF card.

The Nikon D300 D-SLR offers 12.3 MP DX format CMOS sensor combined with a fast 6 fps (up to 8 fps with the optional Multi Power Battery Pack). The camera’s fast power-up, quick response and outstanding flexibility will meet the needs of a wide variety of photographic assignments.

The D300 also features a self-cleaning sensor unit, which vibrates at high frequencies to remove any loose dust on the surface of the sensor’s optical low pass filter. The camera has a broad ISO range from 200-3200 plus Lo 1 (the equivalent of ISO 100) and Hi (ISO 6400 equivalent). Image accuracy is also enhanced by the Nikon Scene Recognition System, which uses the Nikon 1005-pixel RGB color sensor modified to recognize subjects’ shape and position before the image is captured. This also aids the new 51-Point Autofocus system in tracking subjects, while enhancing the accuracy of exposure and white balance metering.

The EXPEED image processing system is at the heart of the D300 to capture and process high definition image data quickly. The system features 14-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion with 16-bit image processing, both contribute to delivering rich accurate colors, smooth skin gradations and exceptional detail.

From the 3″ VGA LCD screen with 170° viewing angle, to the HDMI interface for HD ready displays, the D300 is ready for tomorrow’s imaging environment. The controls of the D300 were designed for ease of use, with an easy-to-view top LCD panel and an information display on the rear LCD screen that can change color according to the ambient lighting conditions. The intuitive 8-directional multi-area selector makes selecting any of the 51-Point autofocus settings simple.
