[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 170658, member: 8705"] Mike, I'd say get the 300s for the following reasons. My wife got a D300 soon after they came out. I always loved it as I was using our older D70 at the time. When my time came about two years ago I bought a 7000 because I reasoned it was newer tech. After a week I took it back and bought a 300s. I preferred the look of the images and the feel / layout of the body on the 300. At Christmas I bought a D600 to take me into full frame. It took great pictures apart from the sensor it felt lacking after the 300. After two months I sold it and bought a D800 because it was more like a 300 body and layout but full frame. I must stress that I did not get the 800 because I wanted the pixels as the 600 took fantastic images. I still use the 300 often if I don't need the 800 low light or resolution capabilities as it still takes great photos that require less space. I have particularly used it in my new studio as light is obviously not an issue. My final point was to highlight that even though I have a tool like the 800 available I often make a conscious decision to use the 300. Sorry for the ramble but hopefully it clarifies why I recommend it. [/QUOTE]
