However the D300 is about £1000, thats' £500 more than a D80!! A big difference, seems to me that the D200 would be more of a option to alot of people who want more than the D80 can offer.
It is easily worth that upgrade cost over a D80. It is that much better of a camera... if you can take advantage of the things that the D300 offers.
Another recent little tidbit I learned about the D300... did you know that the write speed of the D200 is about 9mb/second and that the D300's is a little over 25mb/sec? am not talking the transfer speed of the USB interface to dump files, but the actual write speed of the camera from it's internal processor to the internal buffer and to the CF card.
It makes a major difference when you want to take more pics in a shorter time. That is not the main point, though. It means that the entire camera internals have to be able to move that much faster to support that speed increase effectively.
