Nikon D300
The Nikon D300 is a DX-format (APS-C) digital SLR introduced in 2007, positioned as Nikon's semi-professional body sitting below the full-frame D3 and above the consumer D80/D90 line. It uses the Nikon F-mount and was aimed at advanced enthusiasts and working photographers who needed a magnesium-alloy body and weather sealing without the bulk or cost of a flagship.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the D300 have sat between roughly £81 and £300, with a median close to £94 across the last five saleroom results. Most bodies fetch under £100 at saleroom level in 2026, and the single higher result of £302 suggests a well-presented kit or a body with additional accessories can still be worth two to three times the typical price. As a used digital body, condition, shutter count and whether a battery and charger are present are the main factors determining what a D300 sells for today.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Title: Nikon D300 DSLR Body + Nikon 16-85mm f3.5 ED VR + Grip+ accessories + Case (ref)
Description:
The lens has and always has had a Hoya filter fitted. Lens is smooth and the auto focus is spot-on. Nothing terrible and we’ve slightly busier images you wouldn’t notice a thing. Not awful and in my opinion they could probably disappear with a rocket blower rather than needing a full clean. Location: Bromley, United Kingdom |

Frequently asked questions
What is a Nikon D300 worth in 2026?
Most D300 bodies are worth around £80 to £100 at UK auction, with exceptional examples or well-equipped kits reaching roughly £300.
How much does a Nikon D300 sell for at UK auction?
Recent hammer prices range from about £81 to £302, with a median of £94 based on the sales recorded for this model.
Is the Nikon D300 still a usable camera today?
Yes — the F-mount compatibility, 12.3MP sensor and 51-point AF remain serviceable for general photography, though the lack of video and factory service support keep the price low.
What affects the value of a Nikon D300 the most?
Shutter count, cosmetic condition of the grip rubbers, and whether the sale includes a working battery, charger and memory card are the main drivers of price.
