[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 317314, member: 986"] Jack I agree that upgrading just TO upgrade isn't wise. The pro build, uncompressed NEFs and uncompromising quality of the D300 is what kept me with mine for over 6 years. It still is one of the best bodies Nikon ever made (along with it's sibling the D700). But to Glenn's point, when I started to see that newer bodies had capabilities that the D300 didn't, I reached a decision point. If a D800-like DX body would have been introduced at 18-24 MP, I would have moved in that direction. As it is, in order to have the capabilities the new sensors provide with the controls I expect, my only option was D4 or D800. I sincerely hope Nikon wakes the hell up and realizes that there is a market for another matched DX & FX body combo. It is amazing to me that the D300 / D300s has been popular for as long as it has (I bought mine when they first came out in the fall of 2007) as well as the price and strong demand that the D700 commands on the used market.
