dcophoto says:

hey guys, i've been shooting with my d300 for a little over a month now, and i can say i'm very impressed. the low noise, the detail, the ergonomics, its just a sweet camera.

i took this photo today with a new macro lens, and the detail is astonishing, check out the detail in the leica lens and the ostrich skin, pretty sweet.

titanium m6 w/black ostrich skin

anyway, feel free to comment or to post the shot you feel most impressed with by your d300 so far.

Like Slightlynorth, I love the high ISO performance. In addition I am amazed at how many shots are spot on right out the camera without even tweaking the RAW. And in a range of light situations.

Approaching Betty's

On-camera flash meant no P-P at all.
Most impressive often means most recent. I took this yesterday.

I'd love to get out and shoot everyday with my D300. Unfortunately, I cannot do that...yet.

One of my recent favorites. Too bad I accidentally deleted the image off of my computer. Tried to retrieve it, but it's not anywhere to be found anymore.

Completely blows away my old Olympus though. Amazing speed and detail, without any PP.

Ok, now that I actually have a D300, I can post my most impressive shot which, funnily enough, is my first ever serious shot taken with my D300. I wanted to try out the high ISO everyone raves about so that along with my 18-200VR I was able to get this:

Carillon at Night - Handheld

Check the EXIF for the wow factor. :Maybe it's not that impressive to anyone else, but seeing as I'm coming from D100 land where ISOs stay below 640-800, this is impressive to me. :)
