Nikon D300 can't preshoot BW? I am starting with a studio that uses exclusively Nikon. I am a Canon user. I am familiar with the D1x but will be using the d300 on some shoots, and looking at the manual it only does BW in post production on the camera. Is this true? (Oh, I should say that this is a very high volume studio that doesn't have alot of time for post production).

I think the "post production on the camera" you're referring to is the Retouch Menu which creates adjusted/altered copies of pictures already taken. That's described in pp. 329-343 of the D300 manual. The D300 can be set to take images in B&W by setting the Picture Control (pp. 148-166) to Monochrome (p. 150). There are also settings for Yellow, Orange, Red, Green B&W filter effects, and for B&W, Sepia, Cyanotype and other Toning (p. 153, 155).

I'll be honest I don't understand a few things about this question... *I am starting with a studio that uses exclusively Nikon. *I am a Canon user. about these two, why if your a Canon user would you open a studio using Nikon, this is confussing! *(Oh, I should say that this is a very high volume studio that doesn't have alot of time for post production). This as well seems a bit...... Especially for something so simple as b&w conversion??

Not having a color image to start with limits your product to only B&W which in my experience would be a mistake. Take it in color then PP those you want in black and white. There are several great plug ins that can do this in a few quick clicks to minimize your post production work flow.
