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.
