My Nikon D300 has arrived, along with its 421 page manual. There's a bewildering array of options, and the manual doesn't tell you _what_ a feature does, only what features and settings are available.
So I'm collating some links and additional information. After going through these links I mostly get it, apart from the autofocus system.
Still need persuading? Read the DPReview.
Have a look at the Nikon D300 special site.
DWM on Nikonians has created a spreadsheet of all the available options. No explanations though.
Get any firmware and software updates from Nikon Europe.
The D300 supports a lot of older Nikon and Nikkor lens. See which ones here on Nikonians.
PDF manual here. It has printable and non-printable versions - to get the printable version you will need your D300 serial number.
If the official manual doesn't do much for you, you can get a third party one, such as the one by Thom Hogan. Thom also has an excellent review of the D300.
Thom has quite a go at the menu system, and I can see why. The way of selecting things changes depending on what you are selecting. Try changing the Photo Information and NEF 12/14 bits, by way of comparison.
