Sorry to hear about your problems with the D300s.

Check the battery.

If fully charged, check the memory card. Is it full; does your computer detect the memory card; can the card be read by the computer (do not use the computer to format a memory card).

Try removing the battery. I’m not sure if there is a system reset – check the manual, but if there is, try that.

If all that fails, bring it back to the dealer to check the camera, or send to an authorized Nikon repair facility.

Great story. My friends (former students of mine at the School of Visual Arts) are constantly putting their DSLRs into the hands of their little girls (6 & 8 years old) – and the girls manage quite nicely. It’s surprising how easy these cameras are to use. Of course, until you start to dig deeper and deeper and muddle through hundreds of pages in the manual.

Put a sophisticated piece of machinery in a child’s hands and it becomes a toy camera that takes great pictures; put it in the hands of a sophisticated adult and it suddenly becomes a monster that you struggle to master.

Just checked out your pics. Very nice work! I like the perspective. Not the old stodgy follow-the-rules-my-grandmother-used approach.

Keep us posted on your next project. I may be in touch to follow up with you.

Just back from New Delhi having taken 3000 images with the D300s. The camera is outstanding, great image quality, battery life 1000 shots. Strong and easy to use quickly. I gave the camera to a ten year old at the orphanage to use for a few hours and he was a dab hand after five minutes. Only improvement I would like is better quality at higher ISO there is a lot of noise at 1250 so not as good I think as the D700 but I’ve not done a side by side test. Video quality is much better than the Full HD Sanyo 1010 I use, because of the Nikon file format. My website has some images from the trip edited to 16:9 format.
