Take everything you love about the award-winning D300 (image quality, speed, high-ISO noise reduction, excellent autofocus, etc), then add HD video, increase the speed a bit, and install an additional SD memory card slot.

What do you get? A nicely refreshed workhorse of a DSLR: the Nikon D300s.

While the changes to this camera were admittedly minor, the point is that it makes an already great camera that much better. And for those looking for a "do-it-all" camera that takes amazing still pictures as well as HD-quality video, you've found your solution.

If you're looking for a solid camera that is equally at home taking video of your baby's first steps or shooting 7 frames per second while courtside at a professional sports game, then you owe it to yourself to rent the D300s.
