Dave,
You are so right. Furthermore, I am taking the liberty of adding to what you said by stating that anyone who looks at one set of photo images taken under one set of conditions, deserves, IMHO, whatever they get. Frankly, not only is this, again, IMHO, stupid, but it is also a prime show of ignorance!!!!!
Loa, my comments are not intended to be the lease bit biased or sarcastic. Yes, I did see your last question, but I did not comment because I do not know the answer. Might I suggest that you download the actual specifications and compare these side-by-side in your own chart. Then you can prioritize for yourself what you like or do not like about each camera. Second, if you are this consumed by hardware concerns, just wait until the camera is out and you can determine this for yourself as it is a highly subjective question.
Loa, my interest in the D300 lies basically in only 3 features of the camera body. These are a 100% viewfinder, a mirror lock-up and a good remote system. I shoot with a couple of D80s and a number of lenses and Niko flashes, the SB800 and the Nikon close-up flashes. I bought a Canon point-and-shoot yesterday. I have nothing against Canon Or Pentax. I do have somethings against Sony, Leica, Ricoh, Olympus and
?? The point is that nothing is perfectAND DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL CAMERA BODIES DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY. fURTHERMORE, HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT WHAT IS SPECIFIED ABOUT A CAMERA BODY IS ACCURATE WHEN THE SPECIFICATIONS DO NOT CONTAIN ANY STATEMENT ABOUT EITHER THEIR ACCURACIES OR THEIR PRECISIONS.
lOA, THE CHOICE OUGHT TO BE, SINCERELY, STRICTLY WHAT WORKS FOR YOU.
nOW THAT IS A WHOLE LOT OF NOISE,
Tom
P.S. I apologize for my unintentional crappy typing. I am uncertain as to whether Canon or Nikon hit the "caps lock" key when I wasn't looking. Ugh! sabotaged again by a camera vendor.
