Highlights:
Capture and Edit HD Movies in stereo The D300S comprehensively extends DSLR HD movie capture by adding external stereo sound input, autofocus capability and premieres in-camera movie editing. External stereo microphone support adds more realistic sound to shooting movie clips, and a new dedicated LV button makes switching between stills and movies easier than ever. In-camera movie clips can be edited by simply selecting the start and stop points during playback. Also, the new Type C HDMI interface enables editing to be carried out on an HD display if desired.
Dual slot storage media For the first time in this class, the D300S offers the choice of dual storage media standards; CF (Compact Flash™) and SD (Secure Digital™) with options to manage how the camera records data to them. For example, one can elect to store stills to one format and movie clips to another.
Faster shooting, outstanding quality. The D300S captures images up to a blistering 7 frames per second without requiring any additional battery pack. The optional MB-D10 pack makes 8fps possible as well as improved vertical shooting ergonomics.
High-speed performance One major advancement of the D300S is its ability to shoot as fast as 7 frames per second,*1 with Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL3e, and up to 8 frames per second*2 when using the optional Multi-Power Battery Pack MB-D10 and Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL4a. It also offers a rapid startup time of approx. 130 milliseconds and an amazingly short shutter release time lag of only 49 milliseconds*1. *1 Based on CIPA Guidelines. *2 Based on CIPA Guidelines. Battery Chamber Cover BL-3 required for Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL4a.
Refined D-Movie The D300Ss advanced D-Movie function benefits from a number of functional and technological advancements, including an external stereo microphone input enabling high-fidelity audio, plus in-camera movie editing. In Tripod mode, the D300S features contrast-detect AF.
Experimenting with Nikons selection of finest-quality NIKKOR interchangeable lenses — from ultra-wide-angle and fisheye to super-telephoto will enhance the dramatic impact of HD video. Whats more, the cameras versatile Picture Control adjustment options let you modify the tone and colour of HD video clips with remarkable ease.
Dual card slots for CF/SD memory cards New for the D300, the D300S provides dual card slots, enabling the simultaneous use of both CompactFlash*3 and SD memory cards and allows photographers to select the primary recording slot. The secondary slot can record in three methods : Overflow recording lets you use the memory capacity of the secondary card when the primary card is full, automatically; Backup recording stores the same images on both cards; and RAW primary, JPEG secondary recording lets you record RAW data and JPEG data separately to each card. You can also copy images between the two memory cards. And when shooting D-Movie clips, it allows you to select the slot containing the card with the most available capacity. *3Type I compatible only.
Easy-to-access Live View mode Live View function, activated by pressing the dedicated Live View button, makes it easy to shoot while composing on the LCD monitor.
In Handheld mode, which allows you to recompose the frame prior to actual shooting, TTL phase-detection AF using 51 AF points is activated. Tripod mode is designed for precise focus accuracy with still subjects. It allows contrast-detect AF on a desired point within a frame.
Quiet Shutter-release mode for non-intrusive shooting By selecting Q on the release mode dial, photographers can opt to substantially reduce the sound of the cameras mirror-down during shooting. This is particularly useful when shooting in restrictive conditions such as when photographing wildlife.
Additional Nikon D300S Features * Virtual Horizon that is available in Live View shooting. * 3-in., 920-k dot high-resolution LCD monitor. * Highly efficient energy-saving design allows as many as 950 images on a single charge of the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL3e. (CIPA Standards) * Nikons Integrated Dust Reduction System including Image Sensor Cleaning function that provides effective dust reduction. * Versatile in-camera Retouch Menus let you enhance your images without using a computer. * Compatible with HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) output. Type C connector (mini size) is employed. * With the optional GPS Unit GP-1, location information such as latitude, longitude, altitude and time are automatically recorded to each images Exif data. * Exclusive Nikon Software — Nikon Transfer and ViewNX software packages (supplied) for a range of basic photo browsing and editing operations; Capture NX 2, Camera Control Pro 2, and Image Authentication Software (all optional) enable more advanced operation and image editing.

For the past several months David Blaine and his production team have been carefully crafting the next generation of his Split Spades deck - The Lions. The deck features a level of intricacy never before seen in playing card design, and David himself experimented with the feel and finish until he was 101% satisfied.
The Split Spades design is iconic - there is an elegance and a level of intricacy among each element of the core design. The Ace of Spades design (and the box design) are all new, featuring two-way images and hidden text. These features and other revolutionary design components unite to form a deck that is unlike any other.
Not only are these the best looking edition of the Split Spades, they are the best feeling ones as well. The entire DB production crew as well as theory11 put these decks through extensive trials over the past week. Dan and Dave, Jonathan Bayme, Dan White, Daniel Garcia, and David Blaine himself all came to the same conclusion: these feel amazing.
The finish and card stock is unique and completely new to the Split Spades. Not too thick, not too thin. The focus was to produce a deck that handled well and - just as importantly - lasted. And after brutal use from the streets of New York to the deserts of Las Vegas, every single one of us was blown away by the look, feel, and finish of the second generation decks.
