For D300 in Cameras, DSLR & MFT (micro four thirds)
Recommended
Yes
Price
0$
Pros
  • See below for details. 3" LCD (920k pixels), multiple battery types when using battery grip, 4 memory banks for independant programming, etc
Cons
  • Absolutely none so far!
I have come a long way with my digital cameras having initially started with Sony's DSC-S85 > Nikon D50 (still my back-up camera > and now... the Nikon D300. The D300 is in a league of it's own. It is a blazingly fast camera capable of taking up to 8 shots per second. This makes it ideal for fast-action wildlife! Focus accuracy is absolutely terrific and though it can make use of up to 51 focus points (and predictive focusing when panning), I generally have it set at 11 points. Why, because it uses less processing power and is therefore even more responsive...
All in all, Nikon's best DX camera todate!

For Tracker III in Tripods & Heads
Recommended
Yes
Price
102$
Pros
  • Very solid / sturdy tripod. Panhead (incl.) is very pleasant to use.
Cons
  • Weight, but I knew that from the start.
I looked around for a tripod which would offer a stable solution for my Sigma 50-500DG APO HSM lens weighing 1.85kg (camera excluded). For the price a paid (mail order USA), this one was for a bargain price that is hard to beat. So far it meets all my expectations.
Note: there is an optional padded tripod bag available. For those considering a tripod bag the Vanguard NTB-26 fits the TrackerIII.
