From a lifetime Nikon man, definitely Nikon. Never had a problem and the D300 is a gem to use.

Who?
As per the JP.Net thread, he's choosing between Canon and Nikon, hence only 2 options were given here for the poll.

Yeah Chris, I have a serious amount of camera envy. The D700 is on my list for the future.
The 300/f4 on the D300 sparkles and produces some great shots (see the jetphotos link in my signature, the pics are labeled with which ones were taken with the 300mm). I can only imagine how it looks on the D700. Although I'd love to have the 300mm/f2.8 or 400mm/f2.8 on the front of it. Something to look forward to.

The 70-200/f2.8 is an outstanding lens to begin with, so adding the TC only slightly lessens the overall quality. I use both the 1.4 and 1.7. Its having a good base lens, the 300mm/f4 as well also likes the TC's, and shooting within the confines of the lens (i.e. shoot at a reasonable f stop and shutter speed). I only use the 70-200/f2.8 and the TC's when I need a bit of versatility, I much prefer the 300mm/f4 when working at long lengths. That particular day with the Tahiti Nui we had the taxiway right infront of us as well as the runway, so I needed the zoom function. Also I must note that I shoot in RAW. The post processing is usually done in Nikon Capture. The RAW file obviously doesn't make the picture sharper, but it does give you more scope for adjustment around exposure and colours. If you use that D700 right I've seen some great noiseless pictures all the way up past ISO1000. Oh and you can add the 200mm/f2 to my LLL (Lens Lust List)

MikeS - Great to hear, share your tips with me as you discover them.
I've already done something wrong I think. When I review pics on the lcd screen, the image has the red focus dots over it. I'll need to dive into the manual. Darren |
