Pros
  • Speed, AF, Iso Capability, Balance with Large lenses
Cons
  • none
I had the D200, and upgraded to the D7000, but was not happy with the autofocus and smaller size. I returned it and got the D300S. Incredible!

Pros
  • Build quality, 3-inch screen, speed, excellent IQ, AF performance, effective sensor-cleaning, AF fine-tuning, etc. etc.
Cons
  • Battery grip makes for a bulky combo (-> bigger than D3)? Otherwise, nothing
Finally unleashed on 600VR; even with Tamron 200-500 excellent for bird shots, provided you push the ISO for fast shutter speeds (which you can do, of course). You get what you pay for, as usual with all things optical.

I use the D300 having upgraded from the D200 and the D100 before that. I find it sharp and fast, an all round winner.
