I thought that you might find this interesting. A new Fujifilm X-T3 owner
trying the new 30fps burst mode, with appropriate AF-C& tracking in the X-T3 at his son’s football game at Wheaton College over the weekend, posted this series on Flickr. https://www.flickr.com/photos/30161756@N00/albums/72157700104730751 BTW: FedEx just delivered my shiny new X-T3 body. So my Fujifilm investment deepens. -- Regards, Savageduck |

The D300 is incapable of low-light photography at a fast shutter speed at any ISO, and I'm done shooting about half time at a game that starts at 5:30. This grandson is on the (high school) freshman team, and his year-older brother plays JV. That game starts after the freshman game is over, so I never get photos of that game. The punter in the Wheaton shots is a good example of 30fps series because the photographer can isolate one player that he knows will be a good subject, but he did miss the toe-on-the-ball shot. He got the laces on the ball on what was probably not that good a punt. Looks like it would go out of bounds to the right. What that pfs would be good for is following a pass receiver and hoping for a fingertip catch. When I lived in Chicago, Wheaton was considered to be the Oral Roberts University of the Midwest. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

Well, it was his first use of his new camera. ;-) What that pfs would be good for is following a pass receiver and hoping for a fingertip catch.

The existence of Wheaton was a revelation for me, as was the school his son attends,Millikin University. They were visiting Wheaton for the game. -- Regards, Savageduck |

So you do a lot of low-light shooting with a D300? i've done a *lot* of low light shooting with older (and not as capable) nikon slrs (d100, d50 & d70) without much difficulty, prior to that, nikon coolpix, and in prehistoric times, film slrs, nearly all of which was theatre, which can be *very* low light and many times requires fast shutter speeds. they're obviously not as good as recent cameras, but to claim a d300 is 'incapable incapable of low-light photography at a fast shutter speed at any iso' is simply false. |

Good to hear from you with a carefully documented rebuttal. Please provide a link to a photograph you have taken with a Nikon D300 in low light at a fast shutter speed. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

You know he's going to claim that he has had success with shooting fast speed, low light, field sports photographs with a Nikon D300, but a guy who never produces evidence that he does any kind of photography can claim anything. As they say in Texas, all hat and no cattle. Those who get decent low light photographs with a D300 are doing it shooting aperture on a tripod. It works best if you are photographing stationary subjects, not moving athletes. You might get a good shot of the scoreboard. I dunno about your D300S. I don't know how well that worked in sports photography after the sun went down. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

I don't know how well that worked in sports photography after the sun went down. It was always good to have plenty of light. Unless you favored overwhelming noise, even with fast glass. When it came to low light performance of the D300 & D300S, there are lesser Nikons such as the D7200 which do tangibly better. Then there is the D500, or if you care to go FF, the D850. Having said all that, my move to Fujifilm, and mirrorless seems to be permanent. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Oh, for a minute there I thought you were claiming experience with a Nikon D300 and were going to provide links to your photographs with that camera. Foolish me. I admit that I have had no success at all in this. If I shoot at 1/500th or faster, which is what I'd want to shoot capturing action field sports, I get so much grain that I don't bother trying to process the images. The higher the ISO, the more grain. I should have mentioned that my experience in this has been with longer lenses, but then you'd know that if you shoot field sports photography. I assume you're an expert in that, too. You do know that you just *saying* "false" doesn't prove ****? -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |
