Thanks everyone for your valuable input. Its true, I am a little
early and the price is a bit high for the features. Its about 25%
more features than my current D200. Others say its a totally
different camera. Im not sure I agree. But I am so happy with my
D200 that I was thinking of giving my D200 to my son and getting
myself the D300. My son has had his eye on my D200 ever since it came
through the door. (grin)

I think I am going to treat myself since the experince with my D200
was so good. The D300 is clearly a step up, but not a huge one and
clealry not worth $1800 dollars and the battary back will also need to
be upgraded since the battary pack from the D200 does not fit the D300

All in all, I cant afford the jump to the D3 so this shoulld hold me
and keep me happy for the next 2 or 3 years (wink)

I will let you know what I think after I get my hands on it.

Thanks again Love this group.

Although I never owned the D200, I do have the D300 and I'm very, very happy
with it. I put some pics here and there in
rec.photo.digital.slr-system not the best, but more or less straight out of
the camera.
I talked to a guy who sold Nikon stuff like lenses and a wireless remote for
the D300 (I bought that) and he did have the D200. He said that people who
say it's just a small upgrade, don't know what they are talking about.
He praised the much better light metering system and the fantastic screen as
just a few of the upgrades.

I agree for the grip with another poster here. I easily get over 500 shots,
even with part Liveview. However, if you plan to do more than average
portrait pictures, it might be worth it anyway.
