looking at it in the light of that jonathon ,the specs say it all apart from iso not a big deal of difference ,but the reason i prefer my d300s is not something than can be defined in mere words ,its the feel ,the way it handles,the quality of the finished photos .as i said somewhere earlier on paper the d7000 should outperform it and in certain light situations it does .

so why do i pick up the d300s ,don't know ,cant quantify it but it happens .

at one point through this dark horrible never ending winter i was keeping the d7000 for use with the 1.7tc and the d300s for use with the 1.4 tc and using both combos with the 300-f4 lens ,but since we have had a few days of decent sun (is that summer over already ??) and switching the 1.7tc to the d300s showed no loss in appreciable quality ,so it looks like this is my summer combo ,the new 7100 will stay on a back burner till sept/oct time to see what reports come in on it .

also reading through various forums it seems that with the d7100 nikon japan have not stated this as the flagship dx model at all ,that phrase came from over hype by nikon usa and nikon europe .so perhaps we might yet see another high end dx model .as with the burst capacity it all seems to stem from one comment on one write up .so lets play the waiting game on this
