Nikon D300 HDR out of the camera !!
Just a regular very windy day at the beach and around Peniche, Portugal..
Amazing detail in shadows with ActiveD-lighting, without blown highlights ! Shows how well the D300's 3D tracking focus works and a picture showing details of a seagull.... shot straight at the sun !! The wind was so hard, people started to fly around! http://nikon-box.com/ -- Sosumi

The wind was so hard, people started to fly around! http://nikon-box.com/ After agonising for months (not helped by trying a Canon 5d and pixel peeping raw files from both), I've arrived home today with a D300. Only observation so far is that the focus system seems to handle lenses with spherical aberration (like the 80-200 AF-D) much better than older Nikons. On the D70/80/200, the lens visibly back-focuses @ 10m distance f2.8, yet perfect at infinity, so not "adjustable" for typical backfocus. The other observation is that the Sigma 10-20 on the D300 seems just fine. It is perhaps marginally not as pixel level sharp as the 17-40l center frame on the 5d, as expected (partly stronger AA filter, partly full frame advantage) - but at extreme corners set at 12mm (~= 18mm on 17-40l) is quite a bit better in the extreme corners. They were my #1 concerns - so far so good.

Less is more, I reckon.

Less is more, I reckon. Do you mean zero? LOL! I put the action pictures there to see for others that the 3D tracking really works great and fast. I shot almost 500 pictures yesterday, so I think I already cut it much. Besides: that's why the thumbnails are there; you can choose what you want to see. -- Sosumi

I take some of that back - there's still some backfocus at close range - better, but not perfect. How do you have the focus set? I thought I had back focus too, but it turned out the focus wasn't set correctly. It's pretty advanced and will take some time to master. I still make mistakes after owning it for several months. Tip: check the menu A3: what does it say? -- Sosumi
