[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 92614, member: 8705"] The problem is the only thing that really ticks the boxes is the D4 or the top D3 models and that's just way out of my budget or justification. Not that I actually had a budget :-) I suspect Marcel is right that I won't look back when I see the images. I downloaded some samples and the 100% crops were amazing. The menu thing may bug me, time will tell. I'll probably keep the D300 for the time being. In six months I may trade the 600 for an 800 if it's an issue. At least I'll have some FX glass. I currently only have the 70-200 2.8 VRII and an older 28-70 3.5-4.5 in FX, although my wife's 70-300VR would be a nice match. I do have a 1992 75-300 but the 70-200 out performs it even when cropped to the same image so I don't count that. I will probably give the D300s to my wife and I'll keep her 300 as my backup. I will also give her my new 35mm 1.8DX as I'm going to get the 50mm 1.4 G for the 600 along with the 16-35 F4. [/QUOTE]
