Default Update on D300

OK I've had time to test this camera a bit and have to say I'm impressed, with both the AF (much, much faster than the D80) and the image quality at higher ISO's.

Take note all you 'twitchers' -The 3D tracking works very well indeed.

But... I put it on Program mode on Sunday when I shot a 4x4 rally (pictures in the gallery) and it overexposed every single shot (150+) by at least 1 stop. Some were in the open, some in shade/woods. Now I know it's unlikely I'll use this mode much, but I do often give my camera to my wife and wanted to test how well it handled 'full auto' mode. Well the answer is "not very well". Obviously I could dial in compensation, but I should not have to.

Luckily the above were all shot in RAW, so no problems adjusting. Had it been jpg, then I would have had some problem images.
