I am probably going to be purchasing the body (already have lenses) here in about 2 or 3 months. Anyone have an Epinion on it? The D200 is about 500 less right now and I don't know what to snag up.
D300 is a nobrainer over D200
Personally in this range I'd go with the Canon 5d,which is just awesome in lowlight conditions, but you arent gonna go wrong with Nikon
Which is why, given that they are in the same range price-wise, go with the 5dI do not know if I would call the d300 and 5d in the same ball park. Price wise ok I mean the 5d is almost 3 year old now. But quality (image/build) the d300 is really not even up to the match.
I mean d300 is 1.5 crop factor. 5d full frame.
d300 mid range sensor. 5d upper range sensor.
I would compare the d300 to 40d
that is a good match.
But it really does not matter all three cameras are great cameras.
Yea it was canons aborted step child. They where trying to bridge the gap between the 2000 dollar camera and the 8000-16000 dollar camera. The price start really high at like 5000 but then fall really quickly (like 6 months) to about 3000 and is now at 2000.the 5d is cannon though right?
Yea ff can be go but you have to have the glass for it. If you do not have the glass then you really better off with cropped.ewww doesn't have auto Iso and people are complaining about the button placement... you have to have to hands on the wheel at all times with the 5D would hate that. I guess when I pay off my camera I am going to probably get the D300 or D3h? The new full frame 5,000 body... its going to be a high mark to set on saving up for, but It would take some amazing pics.
The worst part of your lens are at the edges. 1.5 crop will cut out the edges of the lens. It will take a ok lens and make it look better.I like the auto ISO i have on the d50.. even though its nothing compaired to that of a d200 or 300 ... it is increments of like 200,400,800,1600 compaired to steps of 20? I don't know the difference in a FF lens and non. Help me out with that. I have never seen one specified either way. I have a sigma 70-300 super macro and a nikkor 50mm 1.8f... and the kit junker ... I am looking to get a super wide angle.. but I'm not sure on which one yet.. I will get the camera first.
