Hi,

In some threads I read that the heavy zoom lenses are not recommended on the D300 due to its plastic body.
As i plan to buy a zoom lens I wonder if this is a rumour or truth ?

As long as you take the standard approach of holding the camera / lens by the lens rather than the camera the 300D has no problems with heavy lenses. It only has to support it's own weight at the lens mount that way... something it's more than capable of doing.
