While I am all about good glass, the D300 will perform better with cheap glass than a D80 will or a D40 will.
I have all three cameras, and know this for a fact.
Trenton Romulux said:Oh, okay, I'll touch on this aspect of the D300 since I've seen it brought up a few times around here, the D300 has extremely small pixels. So, don't get a D300 if you don't plan on getting high-quality lenses to go with it, as you could get better results with a different camera and consumer lenses. I used a kit lens with my D300 for a few weeks before I stepped up my lenses, and I've got to say, if the D300's body hadn't blown me away, then I'd probably have been disappointed for those first few weeks. Any imperfection is picked up with the D300, sadly. But, if you're shooting with high-quality lenses, you won't have to worry. And I'm sure someone has touched on this already, but Nikon's equivalent to Canon's 'L' lenses are Nikon's gold lenses (lenses with a gold ring at the end), lenses like Nikon's 70-200mm VR, 14-24mm f/2.8 FX, you'll be able to see the gold ring when looking at their lens selection.
I'd say if you were getting a 50mm lens, you should go for the 1.4 over the 1.8. I mean, if your going to have a $1700 camera, you shouldn't buy a $100 lens that people buy for lowly D80's. The 1.4 seems to be worth it too, I heard the build and picture quality are impressive. (Romulox will know more on this lens)
