That D300 is a fine camera. If you shoot JPEGs, learn how to use the Picture Control adjustments. You can use CF cards up to at least 16 GB. (I'm pretty sure it will recognize a 32 GB card, but may use only 16 GB.) The EN-EL3e battery has been discontinued by Nikon, but B&H can get you fixed up with good 3rd party options, if necessary. Make sure that the firmware is updated to the latest.

And have fun!

Understood. I've found the smaller cards difficult to find locally nowadays.

I prefer 512mb or 1 gb cards, checked the latest firmware upgrade, it only allowed use of Nikkor 800mm lens which I din't have and don;t plan on getting. Picture Control sounds interesting and I'll check that out

I understand your preference. Those are getting hard to find, especially by the good manufacturers.

Lots of possibilities -

Get Irfanview (free) and also get the plug-ins for it. Start the program, open a photo, click on Image > Information > Exif info. Or you can just press I and/or E to get lots of info.
Get ExifInfo - also free. Unzip and get the icon onto the Desktop. Find a photo and drag it onto the icon. A window will open with loads of info. Look down the list for Shutter Count (or whatever they call it).
