It's an upgrade for d7100.
I got D300S with flash issues for very cheap. I was using D7100. D300S is an upgrade for me. I only use P, A, S or M mode with custom settings. I need to change iso constantly to get the best combination of speed and aperture. D300S makes it much quicker to set and no need to go the menu. I also found that direct output pictures of D300S seem better than D7100. My personal lightroom settings has less impact on the pictures from D300S.
Prior to D7100 my camera was D200. The 3 digits Nikon bodies are in the same tier. The 4 digits Nikon bodies are still consumer level bodies. They mainly lacking on the controls and direct output picture quality.
That's my 2 cents,

Take care when doing your own repairs.
Overall very happy with the product. The description and images made it look like the camera had normal wear (rubber slightly stretched out which is perfectly fine and a few dings).
It looks like the prior owner tried reattaching the rubber themselves with super glue which is fine but they glued the autofucus switch into continuous mode which makes using D lenses nearly impossible.
I've fixed this and it works properly now and i am more than happy but in the future be more careful. Read full review

Low price from the megapixi war..
This body has 12.1 megapixels.. This is considered small by some standards. They crammed so many megapixels on the sensor that the software had trouble controlling things. Some photographers say that 12 megapixels is the best size for the money. 1080p is only 5megapixels. This camera requires a lot of study. Its programmable and resulting program can be saved to computer. The lenses can be calibrated like gun is zeroed. The light meter can work with old lenses that only work manually. Those are the features that I like the most. Read full review

older tech, but still great
It is extremely well built and a Pro DX model! Pro features like quick button and dial adjustments vs the menu only adjustments of cheaper quality! It takes great quality photos even though it is lower MPs! It is a blast to use and I chose it over consumer models.
In some ways it is even better than some prosumer models like the D7100. For me it is a very great value, and affordable.
In Nikon the only "pro" DX model above this one is the D500! So this camera is a great value for the prices they are going for now!Read full review

Nikon's Pro Crop Sensor Value
Very capable, well built pro quality crop sensor body with HD video as a bonus. Great Nikon lens platform for value oriented serious shooter on a budget. Accurate exposure, reasonably fast AF, and higher usable ISO for a low cost, plus the display is large and accurate enough to help use Nixon's image processing features.

I have several Nikon cameras a friend recommended this 300s to me so I got on for a good price right now it’s the camera I use all the time
I carry this camera on hikes and find that the quality of the pictures is comparable to the more expensive cameras that I have and since I got it at a great price I don’t worry that much about damaging it I am going to look for another one soon but so far this one has done everything I wanted if you’re looking for a walkabout camera you can’t beat the price it’s older tech but still greatRead full review

D300 - highly recommend - easy to use -wonderful poster prints
I use this for sports - get great pics that stop action that can be used for posters.
I would highly recommend. I am not a techie person and I can use this with ease - (not using program mode). I love it... this is my 5th one - typically get almost 100k over shutter life expectancy.Read full review

Like it
The camera is nice. Works as I expected it to. The battery wasn't any good, though, so I had to buy a new battery. The only feedback I have is this should have been tested. I am shooting a wedding on Saturday so I am looking forward to using it full on at that time.Read full review
