No, D300 is a crop sensor camera.
This is a partially a matter of opinion, but I had to research this recently so I will dare to answer. Of course it depends what you mean by best. Best price? Best performance? Combination of the two? I will assume you mean best performance and quality, ignoring price, otherwise it becomes way too complicated. This is what I came up with as of this date January 19, 2008Best point and shoot small cameras: Nikon coolpix s700, 12.1 megapixels, Canon PowerShot SD870. 8 megapixels. Nikon coolpix p5100. 12.1 megapixels, Panasonic Lumix DMC-Tz3, 7.2 megapixels. Sony Cyber shot DSC-T200, 8.1 megapixels Best Advanced Amateur Cameras (does not have full sized professional sensor): Nikon D300, - best image quality of all, but the Sony A700 is the highest quality of build Sony A700 - but no live view - better built than the Nikon D300, but the Nikon takes slightly better pictures overall, however, both have their advantages Best Professional Digital camera: (full sized professional sensor) Nikon D3 - and it costs 3 times the price of the Nikon D300
No
A review of the Nikon D40 and D40x digital cameras by Nikon expert Thom All of those things come into play when choosing between a D40 and a D50, You can find the full comparison of current Nikon DSLRs here if you want the full list.
In digital cameras, full frame usually refers to a Digital Single-lens Reflex camera with a sensor roughly the same size as a 35mm film frame (36 x 24mm).
The Nikon D90 and D700 are vastly different cameras, with the primary difference being the sensor sizes. The D90 has a smaller APS-C sized sensor (Nikon calls this DX), whereas the D700 is full frame (FX). A full frame sensor can produce less noise at higher ISO and low light situations. The FX cameras also allow use of ultra wide lenses, of which there are few options for DX. In the end, though, it's not about the camera and more about the photographer. If you have the budget, and time, then get the best camera you can afford - although, by the time you figure it out and learn to take decent pictures you'll end up replacing it.
Any Nikon Lens Made from the 70s onward will fit on any Nikon SLR However, you will not have full function of the lens. You will not have autofocus capabilities. On many dSLRs, you will not be able to meter with the E series lenses. The target market for the E series Nikkors (E was for Economy) was the consumer market (even though there were some excellent optics in the line, such as the 75-150 and 50/1.8). Unfortunately, the dSLRs that target this same market won't meter with the E series. The D200, D300, and most single digit D series (pro) bodies will meter, but the D40(X), D50, D60, D70(s), D80, and D100 will not.
As for the sensor size... its a full frame camera! so it has a great dynamic range. But other features as af system, shutter speeds, e.t.c it cant be compared to any digital camera of the last two decades..I have my father's n2020 with nikkor 1.8 and i sometimes use it just for fun and its still great. Film is always mesmerizing..
DX type lenses are made specifically for Nikons digital SLR cameras. The optics are designed for use on their APS-C digital sensor which is smaller than 35mm film frames. FX type lenses are "Full Frame" lenses meant to go on 35mm film cameras as well as Nikon's line of full frame digital SLRs like the D700 and D3Xs. DX lenses cannot be used on full frame cameras without vignetting of the frame (darkening of the corners to varying degrees), even though they have the same mount and can be attached and function properly. This is particularly noticeable with wide angle lenses. FX lenses will work just fine on DX bodies but the magnification of the lens will need to be multiplied by a factor of 1.5 to give you a true indication of the lenses magnification. (A 50mm FX type lens, on a DX camera, yields a magnification equivalent to a 75mm lens on a regular full frame body.)
Nikon has a full range of riflescope reticles developed to fit virtually every shooting preference and need. Nikon builds every reticle to be recoil proof and to offer simplicity and ease of sighting and shooting.
