[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 58566, member: 8705"] I upgraded my D70 last year with a D7000. I was always really impressed with my wife's D300 but thought the 7000 seemed like an upgrade sensor wise. I took it back after a week and paid the extra for a D300s. The reason being, the shots just did not look as sharp? I did many tripod based tests and concluded I would have preferred the D70 sharpness. Under close analysis it seemed to be the way it transitioned between light and dark edges which created a less than sharp effect. If I had never previously used a 300 I probably would have been perfectly happy. Please note this was not a technique issue as I've been using the things for a good few years. Also my friend bought a 7000 and I saw exactly the same in his shots. He claims to be happy with his though. You need to decide if you prefer the overall package or if it will bug you forever. I was lucky as the shop allowed me to return it and pay the upgrade for a 300s. [/QUOTE]
