Here is my personal review of the Nikon D300 (12.3mp Digital SLR). This is just a basic review of specs of the camera. I will probably upload a video of a more in depth review that covers exposure controls, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, image sensors…etc. I apologize for the poor lighting. Hope you enjoy it =)
A “not great” Nikon D300 firmware update video. Nikon has a really complicated page on how to update firmware, so I thought this might be useful as a much simpler version. Here’s a link to Nikon’s own tutorial: www.nikon-euro.com and D300 firmware can be downloaded from: nikoneurope-en.custhelp.com But it’s really so much simpler: 1) Download firmware. 2) Double click on it to extract the self extracting zip file. 3) Navigate to “D300Update” folder. 4) Make sure battery is fully charged. 5) Format CF card (not sure that’s even necessary). 6) Set camera’s USB setting (Menu — Setup Menu — USB) to “Mass Storage”. 7) Connect to PC via USB cable. 8) First copy A firmware (ie “A3000110.bin”) to root of your D300s CF card. 9) Apply the update (Menu — Setup Menu — Firmware Version — Update) and shutdown camera when done. 10) Connect to PC again, delete A firmware and repeat steps 8 & 9 for B. 11) Format the CF card and you’re all done. Sorry for the crappy video quality! Video Rating: 3 / 5

Correction on the Autofocus Fine Tuning: You can only save one individal model of lens. If you have multiple 105mm lenses the camera will only save one of them. It does provide you with a way to number the lens though (for example the last two digits of the serial) so you know which lens you have calibrated. You cannot save two different calibrations of the 105mm. The ability to number them from 00 to 99 is for your reference only. Sorry, except for the 10 minute clips this segment is uncut.
