Cons Problems when using with LCD monitor off.
Recommended it? Yes

I have been looking and looking for a new camera to replace our bulky, but simple and reliable (but only fair picture taker) Sony Mavica FD73. My other choice (Besides the more expensive Nikon Coolpix 3100) was the (also more expensive) Sony Cybershot P72. I recommend any of these cameras, and I... Read full review »

The Nikon D300 is the second dSLR I've owned and I purchased it about eight months after its initial release in the North American market.  I bought it to replace my Nikon D200, while being a fine camera, did have some limitations that as time went on grew into annoyances and... Read full review »
