Viewfinder
With the 100% viewfinder coverage, one can be sure that what you see is what you get; user will no longer be capturing some additional pixel that is not seen while composing. Nikon D300 is the first mid-range dSLR to come up with this feature.

One will see a row of display on the lower part of the viewfinder display. Nikon has changed the way the focus point appears in D300. In D200, there are 11-autofocus points permanently on the viewfinder while the D300’s viewfinder looks clean, the 51-autofocus points are not displayed permanently.

51-point autofocus with 3D Focus Tracking
With the same autofocus sensor module as Nikon D3, the Multi-CAM 3500 lock focus almost instantly in the conditions tested – bright and low light situation.

Only the working focus point will be displayed on the viewfinder as having the 51-autofucus points to be permanently on the viewfinder will be make it looks messy. I still personally prefer it to be permanently there, or at least have the 11-aufocus points displayed. One shall be able to get used to it after handling the D300 for a while, it shall not be a major issue. With 51-autodocus points, it shall make photographing macro work an easier task, on the autofocus section.

With an improved 1,005-Pixel 3D Color Matrix Metering II, SRS provides even more intelligent auto exposure capabilities, along with smarter auto white balance detection and faster, more accurate AF performance. Nikon announces that the SRS feature will be implemented in to all future Nikon dSLR and Point and Shoot Cameras.
