Nikon took their time updating the popular D200 (almost 2 years), but they obviously spent that time cramming as much new tech into the D300 as they could. Here are a few of the comparison highlights (D300 upgrades):
* 12.3 megapixel DX format CMOS sensor
* Self-cleaning sensor unit (low-pass filter vibration)
* ISO 200 - 3200 (6400 with boost)
* 14-bit A/D conversion
* Nikon EXPEED image processor (Capture NX pro-cessing and NR algorithms, lower power)
* Super fast operation (power-up 13 ms, shutter lag 45 ms)
* Shutter life 150,000 exposures
* New Multi-CAM3500DX Auto Focus sensor (51- point, 15 cross-type, more vertical coverage)
* Auto-focus tracking by color (using information from 1005-pixel AE sensor)
* Auto-focus calibration (fine-tuning) now available (fixed body or up to 20 separate lens settings)
* Scene Recognition System (uses AE sensor, AF sensor)
* Picture Control image parameter presets (replace Color Modes I, II and III)
* Custom image parameters now support brightness as well as contrast
* Six frames per second continuous shooting (eight frames per second with battery pack)
* Compact Flash UDMA support
* 3.0" 922,000 pixel LCD monitor
* Live View with either phase detect (mirror up/down) or contrast detect Auto Focus

In our last newsletter, we introduced Clinical Photography - an interactive CD training course from Dr. Chris Orr and Smile-On, LTD. We've just updated our web page for this course with four short segments from the CD.
The segments run approximately two minutes long and are taken directly from the CD. They cover the four sections of the CD:
1. Why Photograph Teeth?
2. What is Photography?
3. Clinical Application
4. Image Management
You can take a look at the segments at: www.photomed.net/cp.htm
You can also save $50 on Clinical Photography when you order it with any of our complete clinical camera systems.

For anyone interested in photographic technology, Canon has a section on their Camera Museum website called the Canon Virtual Lens Plant. Through a series of video clips, you will see the entire process: how raw material is turned into glass and how the lens elements are ground and polished. Finally, you will watch as a Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM Super Telephoto lens is assembled. (Note: the video clips need a couple of minutes to buffer - click the pause button and wait a few minutes for uninterupted viewing).
The rest of the Canon Camera Museum website is also quite interesting to anyone who enjoys photography and camera equipment. |
