anyone here think that the d300 price will be cut-off at <=2k sgd after the release of d700. As of now 1 shop sells it at 2.1k sgd so i think it's close.

price cut happens everyday... just the matter about what is your target.
Before or after release some new models, sure the price will be revised for old model, several times a year. If can wait, then just wait, otherwise BBB. most of time, do not need to have a new camera, but just tempted by the new stuff. :cry:
 

D200/D80 LCD resolution is lower than D300 and you say it's more accurate? I thought more highest resolution means more accuracy in term photo viewing taken in high megapixel. :think: can share something i donno?:embrass:

talking about colour accuracy not resolution.

try shooting in several lighting conditions, say.. dim/indoor, bright/outdoor, tungsten, flourescent
using the ND, SD settings and compare.
look at the image on-cam LCD, note difference between them.
download to your comp and view on your display(LCD or CRT doesn't matter). you'll notice the on-cam LCD is saturation biased.
the on-cam LCD does not display the ND colours as well as the SD.

what it means in real world usage is you might be led to think that the image is not neutral coloured enough (even if shooting under ND) and further adjust down the saturation, only to discover later that you've overcompensated.

won't have this problem in D200/D80 or D60/D40.
:bigeyes:
 

good enough for me, even with D700 appears, still stick to my d300~ (coz no money for d700:sweat:)
 

i'm very happy with it... I upgraded from d70 to d300.... Since then, I've been able to do D300 features that I couldn't do with a d70...
 

No, Im very unhappy cos it's making me taking it out all the time to take more pics!:devil:

After gotten the D300 won't want to touch the D70 anymore....
 

I am very happy with my D300. Great camera !! However, I am very disappointed with the Nikon Service Centre. They have the habit of not picking up call. And if you are lucky to be served, the lady on the other receiving end sounded like half asleep and unwelcome.

Recently, I brought my D300 down to the service centre for servicing as there is a dust spot that I could not clean it off. After cleaning the sensor twice a senior technician told me that the dust could not be removed as it was accumulated between the filter and sensor. I find it absurd.

Anyway, I have written in to Nikon Singapore insisting them to do something about it, as I bought it for only 2 months and under warranty. But this type of service is something we user would not want to face.

On top of the above experience, I happened to be visiting the Nikon Show room. And this show room staff seemed so agitated explaining to an old man about FX and DX. We kept on repeating “This is FX FX FX FX FX FX and this D300 is DX DX DX DX DX DX..you understand ? FX FX FX FX FX & DX DX DX DX DX.” He was so fierce.

Anyway this is some experience that I encountered. But D300 is really good…superb camera and deserves a better service. I hope the price would drop some more so that I can buy a second body.
 

After so many positive feedback, think I will get a D300!!!:D
