d300 vs. d200?

[iamblurblur]

it's good to see there are still nice people around replying in a more gentle way... it's encouraging... question asked will not be stupid enough to answer if someone is taking initiative to learn more...
probably the question should be rephrased to minimize misunderstanding... i'm sure we can compare the 2 cameras on the papers the 500 bugs more do look impressive but most specs do claim a bit more than what the actual device can do... questions are asked on forums to see what others think about or share their experience if any on the performance of the camera and the image produced is worth that extra 500 bugs... this is a fair enough concern before upgrading and careful spending...

Yes... D300 is better than D200... and after waiting 12-18 months, there may be a D400!

There will always be newer and better camera bodies... and I would suggest that you invest in lenses at this time. If not because my wife bought me a D300, I decided not to upgrade after a long hard debate within myself. You can take brilliant pictures with the D200. In fact, I found that having to work through limitations of camera bodies and lenses only help me to learn more. Even a PnS camera can take fantastic shots...

Stupid question, why would nikon introduce a new camera which was worse than the previous one.... Course its better and of course its worth the extra $500

Arro....?

No idea what you mean here, but its still a stupid question.

Common sense would tell you that the camera is better and worth the extra money, which is why Nikon released it in the first place. If he needed the camera he would have brought it, but asking silly questions like this and then being upset that everyone said it is better is a joke really. If you need it buy it, but sounds like you dont, so stick with your D200, go out and take some photos with it!

Yo clementi bro, which part you stay at?

Arro = arrogant = hao lian la...

Kirin is right in a sense lo, is to SHARE and LEARN! BUT... not to be spoonfed and asking questions that is so obvious or only you can decide for yourself... which is why the TS is getting flamed for.

How was my post arrogant?

If he had posted a decent write up explaining what he had found and then asking for advice, he would have probably got a much nicer response. If people dont put in the effort to find out things for themselves when its so simple to do so then they need to expect posts like this.

Couldn't agree more with Wildstallion, instead of moping about which camera is better, why not spend more time shooting instead of worrying.

isn't that the purpose of having the camera in the first place?
