Ok, some caveats to this video: the reason I say that the D300 has the best image quality at ISO200 is because the Lo-1 (ie ISO 100) setting the camera has is not true ISO 100, but a simulated ISO 100 achieved through some kind of highlight clipping. And yes, there is some noise at ISO 200, though it's easy to deal with with a good noise reduction software like neat image. The main point I wanted to make is that shooting at lower ISOs is much better for image quality.
