Yeah. Don't think the extra ISO and maybe better bokeh is worth the $2k upgrade... and I have the wonderful 30/1.4 that has no equivalent in FX yet.

nikkie · 25th July 2008

if wanna be anal, the only downside is:
inaccurate LCD colours. it's a step up in size, but a step back in colour accuracy.
otherwise, it's the best tool of its class.

Find a gf that got $$$... problem solved.

LCD color inaccuracy is not really a problem. I just use it to check composition, focus and exposure, that's it. As long as these 3 are fine, other problems can fix from PS or NX later. :P

I think I'll be happy with a D300.

I'm sure I'll be happier with the D3 though.

chongkm · 25th July 2008

Oh, and I just thought of a complain I have. It's getting me confused with my priorities. That day was carrying my baby getting ready to go out when I saw opposite block got a dude want to commit suicide, I immediately dump him down and ran to grab my D300... My wife like gave me the 'WTF' look...
