question
Can the 300s be used with only one SD card and the CF slot empty?
Yes it can be used with just one of either card, or both at the same time. Different combinations provide different benefits and menu options.

question
I have a Nikon d300.Is this 300s the same camera?
No, it is not. The Nikon D300s was released in 2009, and was the update to the older Nikon D300 DSLR camera, which was released in 2007. The Nikon D300s added 720p HD video recording (at 24 fps), has external stereo sound input, has in-camera movie editing, shoots at 7 fps (the D300 shoots at 6 fps), has dual CompactFlash and SD/SDHC memory card slots, has a Quiet release mode, has a multi-controller on the rear of the camera, has a dedicated Live View and Info button, and has an electronic virtual horizon built into the camera.

question
Does this camera continuously focus on video mode?
No, unfortunately. If you set up tripod mode in the shooting menu, you can refocus at any time during the video by pressing the AF-ON button, or, of course you can manually focus by turning the autofocus feature off.

question
what viewfinder do I need to shoot video with the 300s?
Sorry, I have not tried to shoot video with my 300S. However, Nikon's User' s manual suggests that movies need to be shot in Live view mode. (See pg. 58.) I believe that the manual can be downloaded off of Nikon's website or maybe B&H's. I did this myself, but it was a couple of years ago. I hope this helps your customer.
