I need some help! I'm starting to look at replacing my Edsel aka D100.
Through B&H I'm seeing close prices between the D700 and D300s.
The 300s will do 7fps (which I really could use - been photographing a lot of youth baseball) where the 700 will do 5 fps.
The 700 will go up to 6400 ISO where the 300s is maxed at 3200.
Those are my biggest concerns really... the MP are pretty much dead even. I'm not worried about the overall weight of the camera. They both have dust control fighter whatsits with the camera body.
I need something that is going to last because I shoot A LOT! I've put well over 50,000 images through my D100 (I have killed my on camera flash - last year). I have a young family. My nephews are within 8 months in age. I travel. I shoot sports, weddings, senior photos, etc.
My wimpy 6MP D100 is getting close to being on its' last leg. I'm getting crazy dust on my sensor that I can't seem to blow out. It's been finicky in warm/cooler weather - my "excellent" 3fps averages 1.5 fps if it's below 70.
So what do you think? What do you like best about those models???
P.S. - please don't weigh in to try to convert me to another system... I've only got enough money to replace my camera body! I've invested too much into my lenses!!!
