Robert Bösch has called the D300S "an ideal outdoor camera," and Robert is pretty much an expert on that subject. His adventure, sports and outdoor assignments require the seven-frames-per-second, high-speed shooting, swift, precise autofocus and rugged reliability that the D300S provides.

As much as Robert enjoyed using the D300S to create HD video clips, in his hands the camera will primarily produce still images. But he's not overlooking the advantage of the extra added attraction of the D300S's D-Movie capability.

"Now I have the possibility to make short movie sequences, with sound," Robert says. "If I work for a magazine on a photo story, they'll have the story in the magazine, of course, but if they want to put something on the Internet, now I can make short movie sequences for them. And when I make a presentation of my photos, I can now show some short movies, too."

Having one camera that produces the kind of quality still and motion images Nikon is known for—and Robert relies on—is an advantage that Robert appreciates. So is the ability to use NIKKOR lenses to capture D-Movie clips. "I generally prefer working with wide-angle lenses," he says, "because of the great depth of field and sharpness." A favorite lens for his extreme field test of the D300S was the AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED. When greater reach was required, the AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 200-400mm f/4G IF-ED was his choice.

Robert put the D300S to the ultimate test—simply, the full range of his outdoor photography. He shot video clips and still images in the Alps and in forests as the action took place on wheels, in watercraft, even airborne on a snowboard.

What he found was that as a photographer who aims to capture the extreme of adventure sports, nature and wildlife, the D300S, with its action movie capability, is a natural fit with his creativity and his goals.
