Marmite 19 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Question for you with experience of using both models. Being that they share the same sensor and with equal good light/conditions and matching focal lengths was there difference in picture quality?,in reality there should'nt be in ideal light should there?

Omanyra 2,518 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Same sensor ????The d700 is full frame the d300 is crop señorYes they have the same megapixels but not the same sensor, the d700 has the same sensor as the d3The physical size of the pixels are larger on the d700 hence it's low light capabilitiesI shoot at times In low light with iso settings of 6400 sometimes more, I could never do that with the d300The d300 is a good camera, if you have the lightBack to your question..At iso 400 there is little difference in image qualityAbove that the d700 leaves the d300 and most other cameras for deadHope this helps a bit on my site that might be helpful; http://billdoherty.co.uk/section688181_257734.html Edited April 3, 2015 by Omanyra Quote Link to post Share on other sites
