Great!.... Where's that lottery ticket? (Fat chance!)
|
|
 I might be able to afford it before I die.... if I get another job and work till I'm 90..... Good job I like my D80.. Sharon

 It's a very nice looking camera. I could put it on the mantel piece and admire it, but I'll stick with my D40 for a while yet. Hoping it helps to bring down the price of the D300, as that's what I hope to buy in the next couple of years.

 So it is a D300 with a full frame sensor. Unless you can afford the full size lenses you will be alright. But for wildlife etc you might be better with the crop factor.

|
but you have a free fuji simon you could sack the DSLRs now lol  
|
|
I think I might wait a bit with putting the D300 on e-bay
|
|
Simon..Can I be first on your list of people that you may just want to donate that old D300 to ?.. ..

 Sharon "I might be able to afford it before I die.... if I get another job and work till I'm 90..... Good job I like my D80.. Sharon" I can't remember whether it's your 90th this year or next, don't forget to send me an invite. Harry

 FX format. not for me yet, I`ll stick with the D300 for now, if yiou ask me its just Nikon trying to make a few extra quid, nothing innovative about it from where I`m standing

|
Drool drool...I always want what I can't afford...

Does the ISO capability not tempt you?
|
|
Julie, not really. I imagine a full frame camera with the D3's ISO capabilities will be a force to reckon with, but my photography is more about using the available light rather than attempting to shoot something fast moving in the dark a long way away. If it is too dark use flash, or shoot with motion in the picture. Don't get me wrong here, I do like high ISO as an option, because I can visualise that it comes in handy, but that alone would never sway me of buying a new camera. I upgraded from a D70 to a D300 and I enjoy the D300 a lot more, but 99% of my pictures would have been as nice with the D70. (I only have the occasional big print made) If I would have the money I would rather buy a nice lens.
