True!:thumbsup: the s5pro is quite almost the dream all-in-one camera. Great sensor from fuji plus the wider dynamic range and film simulations, (welcome back velvias and astias!)
and a great body and built from nikon. It just needs the compatability to fit canon L USM lenses and it'll be perfect for me!
hehe I know how it feels holding on to a 450D as compared to the D300... :bsmilie:
But I cant deny that I prefer canon's range of lenses.
But then again, you cant get everything you want cant you? :angel: Unless you've got $$$ :devil: heheI am a recent convert from Canon to Nikon. I have been getting a lot of keepers after I have moved to Nikon. NIkon's are definitely better than equivalent Canon's. For example D300 is better than 50D, a D700 is much better than a 5D. D700 is actually much closer to 1DMKIII when you compare the features. So, you are getting more in much less with D700.
But, at the same time, I have been struggling to get any affordable lenses for Nikon. Canon has f/4 lenses which are both lighter and cheaper than f2.8 equivalents. Nikon doesn't have any professional grade f/4. It has started to bite me recently. Just a word of caution.
All the best, with whatever choice you make.

I switched from Canon 40D to Nikon D700...what can I say...the D700 makes the entire shooting process so simple that I get alot more keepers like others mentioned...
1. Nikon CLS is amazing. Like Redsun, we used to shoot together and use china made triggers. but they don't work 100% of the time, adding to our frustrations.
2. I am now able to use my ZF lenses without any adaptors.
3. Ability to use the wonderful range of Nikon Manual Focus range. They are cheap and good.
4. I like Nikon's marketing and product features whereby they trickle down the top range product specs into the mid range product. Like the D300 shares the 51 AF pts and AF/Metering modules as the D3/D700. So far, Canon had kept all the goodies on the 1D/1Ds series.
Within the last 3-4 months, 3 of my kakis had switched from Canon to Nikon, 1 from Sony Alpha to Nikon...surely that tells u something...
Switch to the Dark Side, for it is brighter here with the CLS...

depends on how much into the hobby one is.
as for flash fotography, make a good guess.
brand/system does play a part.
When you need to ask, there's no need to shift.

Care to share how much u brought your D300. Actually, i am coming to the dark side. Still considering D700 or D300 or D90. Of course buying D700 is great but at this time of the year, people are fear of jobless so i think should not be buying D700 as i need to save up some money. So left with D300 and D90. Both have almost the same spec. That why now need to do some research.I am Canon user previously, after long discussion at CS, finally i bought my D300 at MS last night. What i can said
WORTH TO MONEY
If you still hesitate where/which to go, study though forum/internet, thne go to try it and feel it D300, surely you will like it deeply.
go luck man!!!

Buy D300 if u intend to use non-CPU lenses and want the higher fps. IMHO, i would get a 2nd hand D300 from CS B&S section instead of getting a new D90. The price difference is probably 300-400 (D90 new body: 1.3-1.4k, D300 used: 1.6-1.7k) but u get a better camera in terms of the AF & metering modules.
yes but Nikon should be pushing out the AFS versions gradually. Having said that, if one is not using D40/D60, there should be no concerns.
