Subject: Question about D700 metering


I've heard various D700 people mention that they can basically just trust the D700 metering. I'm certain that there are pathological situations that'll mess it up, but almost all of the time it'll get it right.

Is this also the case with the D300? What I'm wondering is how much of this is due to superior metering, and how much is due to the D700 having more dynamic range, giving a bit more latitude in the metering.

I can't speak to the D700 specifically, but every Nikon I've ever owned could be trusted completely to meter accurately in all but the most extreme situations. My studio friends never, ever have issues with metering when they are doing field work. I never knew how much of a problem metering light could be until I started using Pentax. With the K7, I feel I have nearly as accurate a meter as I have with my Nikon F2s, which is a 35 year old camera.
