The D300 and D700 are digital single lens reflex (SLR) cameras that support multiple lenses and are manufactured by Nikon. The D700 is significantly more expensive than the D300, although they have similar features. There are several small differences between the two models that effect image quality and, therefore, price.
Image Size
The D700 has a 12.1 megapixel capability, resulting in a maximum image output size of 4256 x 2832. The D300 has a 12.3 megapixel capability, resulting in a maximum image size of 4288 x 2848. The output image size difference between the two models is barely noticeable.
Sensor Size
The digital sensor on the D300 is 15.8 x 23.6mm in size, whereas the digital sensor on the D700 is 23.9 x 36mm. The larger sensor on the D700 results in higher image quality and a higher price tag.
ISO and Digital Noise
The D700 offers broad ISO sensitivity, with extremely low noise up to 6400 and a maximum ISO of 25,600 on the Hi-2 setting. The D300 offers low noise images at up to 3200 ISO, with a maximum ISO of 6400 at the Hi-1 setting. The D700 offers a much wider range for low-light shooting conditions.
