I think should be 17-55 f2.8 DX

Nope. It is 70-200 VR f/2.8

Most cams can. I guess it's just to say that D300 is actually proven to survive.

Well, the title says extreme temperature, and the article indicated -20degC; not that extreme for Antartica methinks... probably good weather

actually, was hoping nikon will make the D400 a smaller camera. D300 kinda big in the built.

the place is no longer as cold as before due to global warming.

To be exact, 4 degrees warmer. Still very cold, I think.

His photos are pretty nice. I like the shot of the camera with only the top and "Nikon" in frame. Somehow gives a difference feel with the lack of grass.
