12.3-Megapixel DX DSLR

The Nikon D300S is a 12.3-megapixel DX-format digital SLR with a 3.0-inch 920000-dot VGA LCD and one-button Live View. It records 720p HD video at 24 fps using the EXPEED processor. The body accepts CF Type I and SD/SDHC memory cards and is sold without a lens.

Advanced Enthusiast Body

Photographers who want a rugged DX body with dual card slots and fast continuous shooting will find the D300S matches that need. Videographers requiring 1080p recording, higher frame rates, or an external microphone input should look elsewhere. The fixed 3.0-inch screen does not articulate for low-angle or self-portrait work.

CF and SD Dual Slots

The camera provides one CompactFlash Type I slot and one SD/SDHC slot for simultaneous or overflow storage. Both formats are required to use the dual-slot capability; a single card type alone will not enable backup or RAW+JPEG separation across two cards.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 12.3-megapixel CMOS sensor generate during long 720p video sessions?

The camera uses Nikon EXPEED processing and a 3.0-inch 920000-dot LCD; extended 24 fps recording can warm the body, so allow cooling breaks.

Which lenses and memory cards must I already own to shoot with this body-only D300S?

You need Nikon F-mount lenses and either a CF Type I card or an SD/SDHC card, because the body has dual slots but ships with no glass or media.

Will my older AI-S manual-focus lenses meter correctly on the D300S?

The D300S supports metering with AI and newer Nikkor lenses; pre-AI lenses require modification, while AI-S lenses work in aperture-priority and manual modes.
