<p>I have had my D300 for 1.6 years. (>70,000 clicks so far) If you don't like this camera then you don't know how to use the camera. I am not surprised. I find something new every month and I know what I am doing. If you don't need this good of a camera then get one of the very nice point and shoot models that Ashton Kutchner sells for Nikon. They are wonderful. This (the D300) is a real camera not just an automatic in a large heavy case. As such, It is possible to set it up wrong and end up with a junk photo. But it is also possible to translate real photographic and artistic knowledge and desire into reality. And then do it again and again. How many people have picked up your camera and tried to look at the LCD to see the subject and take a picture. I just smile. I used to think a picture was nothing more than f-stop, shutter speed and ISO. I used to be right. I used to think digital electronics were just analog toys with noise. I used to be right. I am an expert in human perception, information theory and human factors engineering. I truly understand the information content difference between analog and digital. I have lived from analog to digital and the current capability of digital has turned the human brain on its ear. This camera is a significant step in a very exciting direction.</p>
