now for some RTFM..!

PS...... FYI LCE has 2 nice examples in stock but i bought privately
 
Great camera in it's day, I remember really wanting one but they were expensive at the time so I settled for a D90. The D300s is the one I was after, these cameras still produce nice quality images today. Good luck with this one, 4th time is the charm, right? :D

I shoot Fuji these days, but wouldn't say no to one of these old classics on side
 
Great camera. Mine had 494,251 actuation's on it when I stopped using it, but was still going string. Sat in a cupboard for 3 years, I used it one last time before part chopping it in for newer kit.

Yikes! That is impressive, I doubt all the cameras I've had over the past 10 years combined even came close to that!
 
Funnily enough I was looking at A D300s the other night ,it’s just the cost and weight of the lenses that puts me off .

For me, if I nabbed one cheap enough I'd strictly use it with a small prime or a macro lens just for fun. Keep it light and cheerful as possible
 
well 4th time lucky..!...I hope
arrived today - gobsmacked - it's mint...... (y)
Shutter count 35126

I'll used it for 48 hours before feedback but so far so good

added my own film type LCD screen protectors
set up all my own menus ... now just need some sunlight

Just checked my D300 and the shutter count is 30036 and I thougfht that was a lot
 
Love my D300 but will probably sell it when the Z6s comes out.
How do I find how many activation's mines done.
Can't see it in the menus but mine must be relatively low
 
Mine the back screen is a little faint. Having researched it is not uncommon with the D300 air moisture can get into the camera body. What is recommended and I am just going to try out is this.
Leave the front cap off the camera and put in into a sealed bag with silicone gel bag/s. I have extracted as much air in the bag as i can as well, so have to see if that works over the next few days
