[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 58218, member: 1061"] The D7000 has newer technology, yes. But the D300s is still the better camera. You are comparing the high end consumer model to the low end pro model. One of the major advantages of the D300s is durability. It's fully sealed and has magnesium parts, whereas the D7000 is plastic. I can shoot w/ my D300s in the pouring rain without fear. I wouldn't even attempt that with a D7000. In addition, the D300s: [LIST] [*]Has 51 autofocus points vs. 39 [*]Shoots faster (especially w/ upgraded grip and batteries) [*]Less shutter lag [/LIST]The best thing for you to do is go to a real camera store (not Wal Mart) and handle both models yourself. Reading about them on internet forums can only get you so far. The real difference is when you have them in your hands. [/QUOTE]
