I used a D300 for event photography work for a few years having come up through the models of D100 to D300. Then I went to the D7200 and D750 which I still use. But even with those higher meg cameras I still missed my old D300 which I had traded in. So even though I didn't need it I was window shopping at Schillers camera in St. Louis a couple of years ago and found a used D330S with less that 5000 shutter count for only $200 so I snatched it up at that low price. Still don't use it much but love having it. If I was still shooting professionally I would have purchased a new D500 but just can't justify if with all the cameras I already have.

I love Schiller’s! Are they still doing ok?
I’m using my D300s for digitizing slides.
I used it for events until we moved to to the D800.
The layout is almost the same as the other pro bodies.

Since I retired from professional photography at the end of 2012 I haven't visited Schillers nearly as often as I used to but when I do they still seem to be doing well. They are the only camera store left in St. Louis to my knowledge. They do have a lot of great bargains in used cameras as well as all the new stuff.

I have a D-200 and a 750. Should the firmware be updated on these, too. Thanks.

This list is a good representation of what firmware updates can include. It looks, though, more like a firmware update for a D300s, not a D300, since the D300 never had Live View or video.
If you decide to update, be aware that the D300 and the D300s are two completely different caneras, and they have completely separate firmware and separate update chains. (The D300 had to be updated to some of the features with which the D300s came from the factiry, and it never got all of them.)
I don't know if it would even be possible to load D300s firmware into a D300. But if it were, the results would almost certainly be catastrophic. So choose carefully if you do decide to proceed.

I still have mine. Couldn’t get anything for it if I sold it.
Me too also kinda.
I have the D200 because I like the sensor.
Beautiful shots- but I doubt I could get postage for it.

I still have my D300. While it's quickly becoming more VINTAGE everyday, it's still a very good camera.

I use a Nikon D300 and have never updated the firmware. The camera works fine, is it worth up dating the firmware. What will it improve? I’ve been a little nervous about trying

The only firmware I see for the D300 is from 2013. It adds support for the 800mm lens. I might be missing something.
I had a couple of them for quite a few years. I gave them to members here when I updated my kit. I wouldn't be surprised to find that they are still in use.
