Dpreview On D300

Finally, D300 review is up where it belongs. The long anticipated D300 review is up here and is written by none other than founder Phil Askey. The D3 review is still presumably being worked on. And we will just have to wait. I have a feeling that it would be out soon.

Kimura Takuya and D300

The once almost effeminate long hair boyly man dude Kimura Takuya is hawking the Nikon D300 camera in Japan. The kissing is really disturbing. It degrades or elevates Nikon as an object of desire rather than a tool for the professionals. Maybe it can be both. But first and foremost, it has to be a professional tool first then an object of desire second. Never the other way round. We aspire to be the professional, the real McCoy just like celebrities pretend to be professional singers or actors. I can see celebrities endorsing consumer goods like Kate Moss for Coolpix or Maria Sharapova for PowerShot, but for professional equipments, I don't really think so. Perhaps the D300 is catered for some rich celeb lounging in some bar shooting candles and dead animals.
