The Nikon D300S features 24p video at 1280×720, with an external microphone input. DX (crop) sensor. It also features limited autofocus in video mode. The D300S will auto-focus on a fixed point in the frame. This page hints that it might have some manual exposure control (thanks @tylerginter !). Nikon also clearly learned from Canon in that they got the camera into some pro shooters’ hands before its release: Rolling shutter is either greatly improved from the D90 or it’s being expertly hidden in editing. You can pre-order the D300S now from Amazon. $1,800, body-only.

The Nikon D3000, a D200 Junior?

Nikon keeps “upping” the game for their entry-level models. Gone are the days of the 6MP D40 or the D60 with only 3 AF points. Replacing these entry-level cameras in Nikon’s lineup is the new D3000 with 11 AF points and more robust features. As you must have noticed by now, the D3000 shares a lot of its main components with the D200 , which was a highly popular $1699 prosumer DSLR at the end of 2005. While the D3000 does not have the metal chassis, built-in AF motor, metering capability with no-CPU AI/AI-S lenses, and 5 fps as the D200 does, the D3000 uses a 3” LCD and has auto sensor cleaning that were not available as recently as three years ago. In a few short years, a lot of higher-end features are now available at the entry level; that is how far DSL Rs have improved. – Shun Cheung Read the full Nikon D3000 Preview .
