[QUOTE="AxeMan - Rick S., post: 107922, member: 1746"] What I been reading through all the rumor mill threads are the best guess and possibility of an upgrade to the D7000 (call it what you wish D whatever) IS going to be a cross between the D7000 and the D300. Would that be and upgrade for the D7000 and a down grade for the D300? How could you combine the two and call it an upgrade? Your going to have to take something away from the D300 if you do. I have read that any upgrade to the D300 has a lower possibility then the upgrade to the D7000. Upgrading the D7000 would tighten up that gap I pointed out, however upgrading the D300 would make that gap too close with two bodies so close together with features and in price. It would be like having the D90 and the D300 in the DX line up again. A lot of people claim the D300 is nothing but a D90 on steroids. I think the upgrade all the D300 users are looking for came out as the D600 and we will not see an upgraded D300 DX as we known it. With Nikon putting the D7000 on the discontinued list. This has added fuel to the fire in the rumor mills of speculation of a new DX body coming out. I like to point out the D7000 was the upgrade to the D90. The D90 was put on the discontinued list AFTER the D7000 came out. What has me worried is the D7000 was discontinued before a upgrade was announced. I have not been around long enough to know if Nikon has done this before. We all know Nikon works in a strange ways so who knows, just going to have to wait and see. It's all rumors and speculation at this point. So sit here and watch this thread grow. [/QUOTE]
