I have been using my D200 for almost a year now, but was still able to glean a few pointers from your tips to help me out. Your time spent in listing out these functions is much appreciated.

One point I thought I should clarify is that on my D200 with firmware 2.00, custom function f7 allows you to take several photos without a CF card inserted. It does not allow you to continue shooting when the inserted card is full however, so you never risk missing a shot in the way you describe. Had images taken with no card inserted been copied from the buffer to a newly inserted card, then this would have allowed you to swap cards without interrupting a shoot. Technically there's no reason why it couldn't have been done. I'm STILL hoping Nikon release a new firmware version that adds a new custom function to allow the user to disable Auto ISO mode when shooting in manual. Auto ISO could have been extremely useful to me, but this oversight is as good as a bug. Has this been fixed on the D300? Thanks for this Neil.

I previously had the D-200. However, I'm having some trouble with the D-300. Do you have any recommendations for this camera. I'm trying to get clean, crisp prints of grandchildren. Your comments will be appreciated. I recently purchased the Nikon D-300. I previously had the D-200. However, I’m having some trouble with the D-300. Do you have any recommendations for this camera.
