[QUOTE="mikew_RIP, post: 170405, member: 14174"] I hadn’t even considered a D300 but called in at my local Nikon dealer to see what he had,was hoping to view second hand D90s and D7000s.No used D90s but a D7000 and two D300s so started having a feel if you know what I mean. The 7000 felt nice but the 300 felt fantastic a real presence in my hand,he doesn’t do shutter count checks unless a customer asks but said he would do one for me. Whilst still talking me through the cameras he said the 7000 was in good condition but he knew it would have a high count as he new the owner,with the 300s one looked well used so I wasn’t even considering that but the other looked great and had a known history as it was sold new by him and he felt sure the shutter count would be low. Then he uttered those fatal words “take it away for the weekend and try it” well its now on my desk been out for a few test shots and a shutter count check with my shutter count .com reveals 8086,his asking price is £429 but I guess an agreed price will be about £375,am I daft forgoing new sensor technology and higher MP for a camera that just feels so good. mike [/QUOTE]
