As I mentioned before, I just bought a new Nikon D300 digital camera to take on next years motorcycle trip to southern South America. This camera is like the Rolls Royce of cameras. Now that I've had a little time to play with it, I thought I'd let you see what it can do. You need a PHD to learn all its capabilities. This camera is a true professional digital SLR. That's my cats eye in the top picture and my house at the bottom. This camera has so many features and menus that I'm sure I will never use them all, but the camera can also be used in the "Auto" mode and it does a spectacular job of taking great pictures. This is truly a "Smart Camera". A new feature that has not been seen on this type of camera before is something they call "Live View". Up 'til now it has only been used on consumer cameras. This is where you look thru the screen on the rear of the camera to frame your live shot. This camera has a very large three inch, high definition screen on the back, with no less than 920 thousand pixels, and since the camera has 12.3 Mega Pixels, the large screen makes it easy to see if your picture is in perfect focus. I can't wait to take pictures with this camera in southern Chile and Argentina's Tierra Del Fuego next year.
