Better check your firmware, my wife's D300 has A1.01 and B1.00. Other than that camera works fine. I suspect Nikon in their hurry to ship the camera, did not flash their firmware properly...

Nikon firmware had all the time been like that for almost all models.
Don't worry just shoot more nothing wrong.

The firmware on the cameras where you have A and B firmware are because the cameras have two seperate processors and sub-systems. 1 processor/sub-system for the AF/metering etc and another processor/subsystem for the image processing. These sub-systems are independent and thus can and usually have different levels of firmware revision. Perfectly normal to have one at 1.01 and another at 1.00 - it just means that one system had another minor revision after the 1.00 release.

Thanks, just use to seeing similar firmware numbers. Nikon must have been fine tuning the D300 on the fly up to the very last minute before shipping. Similar updates in the past have similar versions for both A & B. Mmmm...

Other than the firmware, the image count stands at DSC_0010, all ten images by me.

Love the D300, the auto white balance is spot on and AF, you have to test it to believe it, makes my D2X AF seems slow. Live view is a plus for me, hate overhead shot when you gamble with the image turning out right, in the past out of ten shots, six would turn out good and the others... not with LV, all ten images would be perfect.

Love the Extreme Four 8GB...

How would you compare the in-body motor of the 2 cameras? I was hoping the D300 can drive non-AFS lens as fast as a single digit body :thumbsup:
