LetsGoDigital reviews the Nikon D300 a DX format DSLR (1.5x crop factor) with 12 megapixel CMOS sensor, 51 point AF sensor, 3.0 inch LCD and ISO range of up to 6400.
They write “Nikon produced a fabulous digital SLR camera with the new D300. A camera you can’t get around as an advanced photographer and I can imagine the competition being very impressed with the impact the D300 has made. The new Nikon D300 is a beautiful work-horse and meets the requirements of the professional photographer. It is an ideal camera for those who find the D3 too big or just too expensive, but don’t want to make concessions regarding the quality. It is a superb DSLR camera and it won’t surprise me if people will start swapping brands and find their way to Nikon. I fully understand them and agree with them! The Nikon D300 is recommended without restrictions for it is an exceptional camera!”

CNET have reviewed the Nikon D60, an entry level DSLR with 10.2 megapixel sensor and 2.5 inch LCD (230,000 pixels).
” Nikon’s D60 is a good example of the current breed of these dSLRs. It checks in with a healthy 10.2-megapixel CCD sensor, a slightly small-by-comparison 2.5-inch LCD, and an upgraded, optically stabilized kit lens. While those features are nice, the D60 falls behind the competition in several areas in terms of its specifications. The D60 performed well in our lab tests, showing a slight improvement over the D40x in its low-light shutter lag and RAW shot-to-shot times, but was a tad slower on start up, though it’s still plenty fast. As has been the case with other Nikon SLRs recently, the D60 does a very good job of keeping noise in check. However Despite modest improvements in performance and a couple of new features, Nikon’s D60 fails to impress and costs more than some competing models.”
DP Review have reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300, a 10.1 megapixel, ultra compact point and shoot camera with 3.5 inch touch screen LCD and 5x optical zoom lens.

The DIGIC II Image Processor, DDR SDRAM and 4-channel reading enable an incredible burst performance of 60 Large/Fine JPEGs or 17 RAW images at 3 fps.
The Canon EOS 30D is an upgrade of the Canon EOS 20D (same 8.19 megapixel CMOS sensor) with a larger 2.5 inch LCD (230,000 pixels) with ISO up to 1600 (in 1/3 stop increments), Spot Metering and High Precision 9-point AF system.
