And I guess the fact that all photography magazines here in UK (from "What Camera?" to "Digital Photographer") gave the D300 top marks at that time and unanimously voted it as the best APS-C camera probably means that they're so easy to deceive. Glad that ColorFoto managed to set it straight :-)

I am not even sure if it was CoilorFoto or Foto Magazin, actually. But that test did show the capability of the 40D and the incapability of the D300 in AF high FPS performance. I am sure (I know the magazines you are referring to) do NOT do a controlled comparative test of AF performance.



Anyway, both ColorFoto and Foto Magzin rated the D300 highly too, and they also (not specific to D300, or 40D, or any other camera) have faulty "tests" concerning IQ. So whichever it was, ColorFoto or Foto Magazin, did not set anyone "straight". The magazin was just finally the one to actually device a representative, controlled and reproduceable test for AF tracking with high FPS performance. Done in the time of the controvese concerning the Canon EOS 1D mk III. Which, in that test, beat the Nikon D3 by quite a margin (both in an actual consistent high frames per second performance and the number of shots in focus over the measured time).



I'm not saying the D300 is not a good camera, I am just pointing out that its sensor did not outclass the Canon sensors of its time and its AF was only superior in performance on paper. At least, in the tested scenario.
