It's pretty simple, the more focus points your camera has, the more accurate it's focusing. However, I did a little research and found that both the D300 and D300S also have a 51 point autofocus system. However, the D7100 is much faster, which is a big advantage with moving subjects.


I’m all for faster focusing. I was playing with the top-of-the-line Coolpix model and it took forever to hunt for the right focus. I couldn’t stand it. I want to press the shutter button half-way and BAM! have the shot in focus.

Akka is a typo, thanks, and I don't bother with details on shots. Sorry.


Thank you. I’m just curious as to shutter speed, f-stop, etc., but I can understand how it really isn’t that important in the grand scheme of things.

The first shot is of downtown Haifa. The rocket ship building is the main government building for Israel North.

Just a couple of comments… one, the last photo, it is “Akko”, not “Akka”, probably just a typo; and two, it is helpful, at least for me, to see the type of camera, lens and exposure parameters that were used. If you know them. You may not, but most photo editing programs (even iPhone) will display that information.

Yes, the D300/300S is built like a tank, but that's not, IMHO reason enough to choose it over a D7100. The D7100 is simply miles ahead technically, with more focus points, better low light performance, better IQ etc. I'd be more interested in the picture taking ability of the camera than it's built like a tank'ness.


True, most of us are not going to be giving our expensive cameras a beating every time we use them. But let me play “stupid” just for a moment. What is the reason for more “focus points”? I can understand needing more than 1, or 9, but 39 or 51? What kind of photography would I be doing where that is will be a factor?

There was a time when once 'could' have said that, but the D90 and D300 are much older models now, so in reality the D7100 is the current top of Nikon's DX lineup, and it would trump either in so many ways.


Wouldn’t you agree that the D300/300S is still going to be BUILT better and more like a “tank” than even the D7100? Sure, the D7100 has a more robust “feature set” than the D300/300S, but all putting megapixels aside, if you had the choice to have either camera, which would you choose and why?

So D90 is better than D300 and D300 is better than D7100?

Not in this case. The D90 was a fine camera, and the first DSLR to include video capability. I wouldn’t consider the D90 to be “entry level” as much as its predecessors were, but the D300 was, and is still, a superior camera, in both build and function.

I’d rather have a D300/300S, but for the same money you can get a D7100 with a lens for the price of a D300 body alone.

Canon vs Nikon (Opinion)

Don't get bothered by SS, he's a good guy but a bit of a Canon fanboy.

The Nikon D4/D3s/D3/D3x do not have a pop-up flash, so he's mocking the fact that the D800 does, while the Canon 5DMkIII does not, like other "pro" cameras.


WHAT? The D800 has a pop-up flash?

Let me ask you, then… can the pop-up flash (on all other cameras that has it) be turned off? Normally any built-in flash can be disabled, so I’d guess that it can on DSLRs as well.

I’m looking to get into a DSLR sometime in the immediate future, after having had Nikon film cameras for almost 40 years. Would love something like a D300S, but those still command a premium price just for the body. Looking more for a D7000/7100.

Kb, welcome to the Hog.
You're not talking about that cheap little pop-up flash are you?
Like the ones found on all the little consumers cameras? :lol:

No, I’m not. Yes, they do have the pop-up flash, but the “Commander” mode is the wireless system that triggers the remote flash units. I may be wrong, but I don’t believe it requires the pop-up flash at all for that.

So, the “pro” cameras do NOT have the pop-up flash?

[quote=joer]Very biased. Do know about the Commander feature on Nikon cameras? I'd take a D800E over the 5D III any day.

The “Commander” feature is a way of wirelessly triggering remote flash units.

Thank You very much.
Is there a way of identifying a introduction time thru Model #'s?


You would have to look up each model, separately, to find out when each was introduced. I don’t believe that Nikon’s website identifies that for each.

No relationship at all, the D40 to the D4. The D40 is an entry-level “DX format” 6 MP DSLR, introduced in 2006, whereas the D4 is a “professional” full-frame 16 MP DSLR. The D4 costs about ten times as much as the D40.

The D3xxx as well as the D5xxx models ARE entry-level cameras designed for the beginner or for someone doesn’t need a camera built like a tank but wants all the bells and whistles, too.

"Canon vs Nikon:"
Very true.

McDonald’s sells more hamburgers than all of the other fast food restaurants combined. That doesn’t mean they’re the best.

Chevrolet sells more cars than Ferarri. Which would YOU rather drive?
