so...we are upgrading our D90 soon. its not so much a "need" thing, but definitely a "want" thing. we have been looking at the D300s and D7000. I have already been over two compassion sites.
Nikon D300S vs D7000 - Our Analysis
DxOMark - Compare cameras side by side
Obviously the D7000 is newer. and has a better sensor. and better ISO performance. and if those were the only things we were considering, the choice would be a no brainer. Despite the D7000 being newer, there still several features on the D300s we really like. the AF system being the biggest. (less AF hunting in low light) The button configuration is so much nicer. (which we discovered we like a LOT on our D200) Dual card slots and weather sealing. higher FPS (although not really a big concern of ours)
those feature have us leaning VERY heavily towards picking up a lightly used D300s.
I would love to hear from people that have some real shooting experience with both of them, and what their take on the D300s is compared to the D7000. We do primarily weddings and portraits so nothing moving faster than a bride coming down the isle. (or the groom running away) no sports, almost no nature photography.
our opinion so far is that the D300s is a better fit for us, but would love some outside opinions in case there are some things I have missed looking at on either camera.
