[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 99346, member: 8705"] Jake, I bought a 7000 before the 300s. I didn't like the images it produces so I took it back after ten days and paid £200 more for a D300s. I don't regret that for a moment. That's a personal thing, lots of people love it. My wife had the 300 for a couple of years before me hence my having used one for several years and I like the feel and functions. The AF goes beyond the 39 vs 51 points. I believe the number of cross types and processor is also in favour of the D800. The bottom line is that it is notably different in use, at least in my experience. With regards to bracketing I seem to get 5 shots on the 300 handheld without movement. I should point out that I will get the 800 for a very good price (if everything goes to plan) as I did with the 600, so my decision is not as difficult some might think. The upgrade will cost less than a D7000. I will say it again though, the 600 is a fantastic camera and if I end up not being able to do the re-grade I will still be in a good place.
