I know how much people absolutely adore & hate Mr Rockwell but am wondering (too much at times) with the camera menu's and the best set-up which would be best:

Would it be Mr R's D300's menu set-up or outthereimages D300's menu set-up?

The latter gives you set-up for Nature, Landscape & Travel - Portrait & wedding - Sports & Action - lastly Point & Shoot photography... The link for outhereimages if any is intrested or wants to know what the heck im going on about...

is http://www.outthereimages.com/images/D300s_Setup_Guide.pdf
 
If it were me I would set the camera up the way I want it not how someone else does it. Im sure the settings would be ok but you would end up tweaking them anyway so, imho, start from scracth and set it to work for you and the way you shoot.
 
I thought that I would ask as its always helpful to see what the more experienced photographer has to offer....
 
I would be massively interested in hearing and learning about this from others, as I'm going to soon be the proud owner of a D300s (thanks Tony!) and reading up online about all the different custom settings is a bit mind blowing!
 
Settings suggested by others are good, if they tell you why they have chosen those settings, then you can make a decision whether their settings are appropriate for you.

Thom Hogan's Guide for the D300 goes through all the settings, and the options, and then he gives his recommendations. At least you know why he chose those settings.
 
I haven't tried outthereimages (or indeed ever heard of them) but regardless of what you think of loony Ken his set ups are as good as any for starters until you get to know your way around the camera yourself. There are a couple of decent reference books for the D300 (not the S but near enough) which fill in the blanks the manual misses - David Busch and Darrell Young are reasonable reads.
 
Nice to see that he has more to say than uncle Ken then...
