Within the Nikon D range of cameras, which would you say is a better camera? The Nikon D300 or the Nikon D3100?

I am new to photography, and have the D3100 and a friend of mine has the D300 and she's big into photography. I don't know which is a better camera, mine or hers.

They're different generations and different 'levels'. Your friend's is a pro level and the D3100 is an entry level. Your's may carry a slight edge in resolution and high ISO, but in every other way thats important, the D300 is almost certainly better.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Thank you for that. I thought that the D300 would be more of a pro's camera, but wasn't sure. Thanks again :) \$\endgroup\$

What do you mean better? It's rather subjective. If you want to compare the price: D300 is more expensive.

Here you can compare the two cameras.
