1.6. 6 or 8 Frames per Second

If you are an action, sports, or wildlife shooter, you can now use a smaller body and still get the high speed frame-rates you need to capture fast-moving subjects. If shutter speeds are high enough, the D300 shoots at 6 frames per second with only a single EN-EL3e battery. The MB-D10 Battery Pack adds a little extra amperage flow capacity and allows the camera to jump up to 8 frames per second. I just went to YouTube.com and searched on "Nikon D300 Shutter" and found several videos that allow one to hear the sound of a Nikon D300 firing at 8 frames per second. If you don't have a D300 yet, or an MB-D10 Battery Pack, check out the videos. It's impressive!
