Reviving Nikon D300
After some 40 years of shooting with film cameras, my first DSLR was a Nikon D300. I still have it but hadn’t used it in years.
Today I ran across its battery charger as I was cleaning out some desk drawers, so I charged up the battery, put a Sigma 10-20mm wide angle zoom on it (15-30mm equivalent on this sensor), and tested it out on Sora the Cat.
Pretty good. . .
I see on my old blog that I got the D300 on April 16, 2008.Â
D300s are built like tanks, and though just 12MP, that’s plenty for web and online work and prints of moderate size.
