Re: Not sure about the D300
Loa,
You are very welcome. I am happy to introduce a bit of humor into a discussion of "take a guess."
Loa, IMHO, noise is very mis-rated and typically overemphasized in the better DSLRs. Furthermore, noise can be readily controlled today, both luminance noise and chromatic noise.
In many DSLRs, the most noise dependent variable is exposure and people tend to not give proper exposure the proper amount of attention.
No, I do not know anymore about the noise level of the commercial D300s than does anyone else at this point. I suspect that we will all know more in six months. If I were truly worried about this, I would simply wait to evaluate this from what others say about their real experience and from what you determine from hands on use of a D300, loan or rental. Frankly, this would not be a concern of mine from my own experience with several digital Nikon DSLRs. And, yes I know that the consensus opinion is that Nikons tend to have higher noise than do Canons. These are both good cameras and their are pros and cons to both and the odds are that no two Nikon bodies will have the same.identical noise level just like no two identical cars drive the same.
