Title: Canon EOS 40D
Pros: Best out-of-the-box results on test, chunky, sturdy build yet not overly weighty, ergonomic control layout, fast and reliable
Cons: Expensive, but better value for money if you're already a Nikon user and own compatible lenses
Verdict: While pictures are stunning, there's no getting away from the fact that while to a professional the D300 is a budget buy, to the average consumer it's a wallet-battering investment. Still, you get what you pay for, and having also taken the D300 along to
Summary: Nikon's D300 is another semi pro/enthusiast DSLR, that logically replaces the well-received D200 in the middle of the company's lineup. It features a solid, tank-like build, and like the Canon, two LCDs - a high-resolution 3in screen dominating the rear a

Verdict: You can program many of the buttons, as well as the dual front and back selector dials, to handle other functions; by default, for example, the FN button near the lens mount sets bracketing options, but you can reassign it to control depth-of-preview, to
Summary: My first impressions of the Nikon D300 digital SLR camera may rekindle my fondness for Nikon SLRs. It's not a perfect 10, but it's interesting and nicely built, and it performed better than I expected

Title: Nikon D300 | Our Review | TechRadar UK
Pros: Excellent specification; Fantastic performance; Solid build
Cons: Vague navipad; Very expensive next to its rivals; Bulky
Verdict: Live View modes also raise the spectre of dust - a perennial problem with digital SLRs anyway. But if the mirror's going to be up and the shutter open for extended periods of time while you compose the shot on the LCD, dust spots become much more likely.
Summary: The D300 is a professional camera capable of producing superb images and it feels like it's been hewn out of granite. But it's also heavy and expensive - and now overshadowed, perhaps, by Nikon's own D3
