Nikon D300 High ISO Performance

I was at the International Grand Ball (IGB) dance competition. It was a very challenging environment to take picture in. The hall was dark but there are lot of spotlights. A lot of fast actions from the dancers. However, This was the prefect environment to confirm that the Nikon D300 is a great camera. It has great high ISO performance. It focuses fast in low light situation. It has all the right buttons on the right locations, so I can check settings in split seconds. Here are some of the pictures I took at the event. This picture was taken at ISO3200, f1.8, 1/100sec:

The second one was at ISO3200, f5.6, 1/40sec.

The third one was at ISO400, f1.8, 1/60sec.

The last one on the right was at ISO400, f1.8, 1/30sec.


Bottom line: it's a great camera.
