14 DAY TRIAL // The Nikon D300 is a 12.3-mega pixel DX format DSLR that Nikon officially announced back in 2009, which came with HD video recording (with autofocus).
And for those who have eagerly been awaiting to see a D300s replacement out of Nikon, we have good news.
New information posted by NikonRumors seems to indicate Nikon is prepping the launch of the new D9300 camera. For the moment, there’s no extra information attached to this bit of news. We have the camera’s model name and that’s it.
Therefore, there’s plenty of room for speculation. For example, the body is most likely DX and the camera will squeeze itself in above the D7xxx line, where the mythological D400 would have sat, if it ever arrived on the market.
Why D9300 and not just plain D9000? Probably to be in league with the D3300 and D5300. So it can be even speculated this is the D400 many photo enthusiasts have been waiting for.
There’s a lot of missing data here, but if Nikon is actually gearing up to replace the D300s, it can be considered pretty heavy news, especially since a lot of people have lost hope a replacement for D300s will ever arrive. However, take the information with a grain of salt, at least until we have a few more details about it.
