| Re: Should I get a Nikon D300?
I can only give you my experience Richard.
I upgraded from a D50 to a D300. There were a few things I particularly wanted:-
Mirror Lock-up
Higher FPS
Improved noise handling
The D300 really delivered for me. The difference in the FPS seemed alot and the noise handling is excellent. Would I have bought a D300s had I been in same position now. Probably not if I'm honest. I'd rather buy a seperate Video Recorder for that job.
I guess the question is do you feel that the D80 is holding you back? Would the improvements overall justify the cost now, rather than waiting? Which part of the "greatly improve my chances of getting good results in wildlife shooting" are you referring to in particular? Is that something you really feel is holding you back or just an annoyance?
Personally I wouldn't even consider a D300s for myself, I just couldn't justify the cost from a standard D300 - would rather put the money towards better glass.
