I thought I’d start this thread since I just bought a new D300 and I’ve read a lot about the camera recently. I see a lot of people with questions asking for help and I thought I would compile some useful links in this thread for beginners as well as other folks Hopefully, with the help of the kind folks here, we can make this a very informative thread.

First, there’s the owners manual, which you can download here for easy reading on your PC/Mac
