Morning Chaps,
I've been looking at getting a Nikon D300 to replace my D40X for sometime now. The D40X is good but has been a bit restrictive for what I want to do.
I have placed an order for a D300 now which I should get in the next few weeks. Although I have done a lot of reading up on this camera I would like to know if there are things I should look out/check for when it arrives.
I read that there are firmware updates which I should get but are there any known faults, areas of poor workmanship/design etc that I should check when it arrives?
Also, which version of the "Compact Flash" memory cards should I get for it? There seems to be different speeds etc... I'm looking at a 8Gb card. Any pointers?
Cheers
