Hmmm. So does the D300 take a EN-EL9 or the other one? Kinda conflicting reports/pictures in the article.



(Sorry, I had to be a smart@$$ about it)

Yeah, might need to fix that typo.

this review almost convinced me about how sucky my 30D is

I feel discontinued and outdated

Chardog, your 30D is just fine. In fact, its a great camera and there is nothing sucky about it. I have seen great images from Xti's and 30D's in the hands of great photographers. The grass always seems greener on the other side... but you know what... it's really not!

don't upgrade
instead focus on your photography skills or maybe some glass but not a new body

thats one thing that I've realized..

seeing camerlabs comparisons they think 5D (being much older camera) still beats D300 in ISO tests??? and they also menton they expect successor to 5D in early 2008!!!

I tend to agree with Thom on this issue. Are these comparisons actually using signal to noise ratios as objective primary endpoints? Many do not and just feed the Canon vs. Nikon debate. A D200, D300, 5D, soon to be 6D will all take great pictures. The newer generation of cameras will have a definite advantage over the older generation depending on what you shoot and what is most important to you.
