10 feet - 200mm vs 300mm
The title of each image explains the comparison as plain as can be. You can just start with the 10 foot comparison or the 200 foot comparison and use the photostream thumbnails to the right to step through the demo frame-by-frame. You can also click on the tag "200 vs 300" to see all of the thumbnail images at once and go from there.
I used my car as the subject, because you can relate the size of a car to anything you wish. The license plate is about 6" tall (155mm) and 12" wide (305mm). The car is about 5 feet (1.5 m) wide from the outer edge of one tail light to the outer edge of the other tail light.
I did not crop the images at all. They are shown full frame. I downsized the image from 300 ppi to 72ppi to make it easier to show on Flickr.
The D300 is a cropped sensor with a "magnification factor" of 1.5X. This means that the "equivalent focal lengths" in this comparison would be 300mm vs 450mm if the test was done on a full frame camera. Please make whatever calculations you need to make in order to make this comparison valid for your camera.
