The D7000 is newer technology and has a little more definition (higher MegaPixels) and has more low light capabilities (iso 6400 compared to 3200, higher means better but the image quality might suffer too).On the other hand, D300s is considered "Pro" as it has more frame per seconds, a better focus for sports and actions shots. But it is also heavier.In normal daylight conditions, the image quality of both is "almost" equal, so it will be for you a question of personal preference. One thing you didn't mention in your post is what you will be taking pictures of. This could make a difference in your choice. Will you use the camera for travel pictures, hiking, portraits, landscape???The one thing I would advice you to do is, go to a camera shop, hold both models in your hand for a while and see which one feels better in your hands. This is one of the most important aspect of buying a camera. As much as your hands might get accustomed to the camera, one might just feel better from the start.And, if your planning on getting it, try to get it soon since the recent flooding in Thailand is starting to affect the stocks and the production has halted for a while.Good luck with your purchase.Oh, one more thing, if you can buy it locally it might cost you a little bit more than from the net, but you'll gain with service and questions about the camera that might arise after a while. In my opinion, it's better to get it from a local camera shop.</blockquote>
