Nikon D300 Digital SLR w/ 18-135 Lens

Nikon D300 Digital SLR w/ 18-135 Lens Overview

Empower Creativity
Precision engineered to deliver new professional-level functionality, performance and reliability, the Nikon D300 combines innovative Nikon technologies with advanced new features to optimize all aspects of camera performance and form the ideal blend of Nikon DX-format performance.

Always on the move
High-speed shooting at up to 8fps* for continuous bursts up to 100 shots. Lightning-quick 0.13s power-up has you ready to capture the instant.

*The D300 will fire, out of the box,with 1 EN-EL3e in the body at 6 FPS. When the MB-D10 Battery Pack is added, and used with a second EN-EL3e, it still only fires at 6 FPS. To achieve 8 FPS, you must replace the EN-EL3e in the battery pack with an EN-EL4a (D2Xs / D3 battery) and add a #4782 BL-3 Battery Chamber Cover f/ MB-D10. Alternately, you can use the 6 AA Pack that is supplied with the MB-D10, and also achieve the 8 FPS rate.
