Weekend Shootout - Nikon D300 Testdrive

Managed to gain access to the new Nikon D300 and decided to do a test drive. Unfortunately, the wet weather over the weekend meant shooting indoors so I decided to use my SIC (Super Imaginative Chogokin) Masked Riders G3 and G4 as subjects which I bought from the Falcon's Hangar two months ago. Mounted on a AF-S Nikkor 80-200mm 2.8 lens for the test shots.

The only grouse that I have about the Nikon D300 right now is that their RAW images (NEF) cannot be opened using Photoshop CS2 (the Adobe update only supports CS3). So, in order to process these pix, they had to be converted to DNG format and then use CS2 to edit them. Other than that, It's all good! ;p

are you living in singapore? i am in india, come to sing several times a year... know it pretty well, but buying electronics is a crap shoot.... where do you shop? sim lim? funan? people's place? orchard road?

of course a d300 is cheaper in the usa, but i am on this side of the world, and india of course is not an option except for grey market with no warranty...

any suggestions as to where to buy a d300 in singapore?

thanks for your time

Hey Gregory, you can try "Lord's Camera" at Lucky Plaza. So far my family and friends have been buying from them and we have no complaints ;)
