It's what I needed to get to know my Nikon D300
I have read the manual, but same time you need same one to tell you hot tips of your camara and how to use it to get the best out of it. This video give you just that.

When you start by your self, this video is a good professor.

Nice material when you are starting with the camara.

Nikon Battery Pack D300/D700
I purchased this Nikon battery pack for my Nikon D300. This product enables your Frames Per Second to increase as well as overall battery life. Additionally it offeres and provide the user with a better sense of balance when using larger telephoto lenses such as my 70-200mm F/2.8 telephoto lens. After I purchased this product, the New Nikon D700 Full Frame Camera was announced and was made available. I decided to upgrade to Full Frame (FX) format and this battery pack fits perfectly on my new Nikon D700. I am thourougly satisfied with this product and the fine job that Amazon.com did in shipping it too me. Great product at a great price with excellent service is what you can expect from Amazon.com. Thanks

Where's the Beef?
Pleasant and easy to watch but I was hungry for more after each chapter. I'm a novice, but I doubt even the intermediate users would find this very informative. "Stop the DVD and try these steps...." --just doesn't get it. Shame on me, but I had problems just finding the correct camera menu. The lead-up "whats and whys" was good, but way too much detail about the need for a camera function and not enough about the actual function. I bought a camera, not a canvas and paint brush. I'm going to try to find another tutorial. This one left me wanting way more.
