Default Re: Not sure about the D300

I also want to point out that good AF does make a difference - in dim light, my D70 struggles quite a bit - add a shallow DoF lens, and I start to get a lot more OOF shots... for example, in a dim gym, the D70 does fine with the 50/1.8, an OK job with the 85/1.8 and a downright crummy job with the 135/2... a D2h on the other hand, while the focus slows a bit in low light, does a MUCH better job at locking on...

I spend a lot of time shooting in low light situations, and am looking forward to something better than either the D70 or D2h (especially for theater work)... Noise is only a part of the equation...

Cheers!
Ken
