Re: Nikon D300 £929

I'm becoming more drawn to the D200 - had a play with one and lurved it. Might have to wait for a lens upgrade though.

Re: Nikon D300 £929

The D300 has dropped £100 in price... I reckon they'll drop more by the summer (don't they always ) if you can just wait that long...

I do love the D200 too, before the D300 it was me fave

Re: Nikon D300 £929

That's a good price considering how much the 18-200 costs by itself - maybe you and Finbar can both get one and they give you extra discount

Re: Nikon D300 £929

Ah right... means you won't get a 2yr warranty..

Why not get some better glass now and get a new cam later?

I can't see glass improving much within a year, but camera bodys in a year come on leaps n bounds. I'd be more than happy with a D300 for years and years!
