Well it appears my D70 is about to hit the dust and it's time to look for an upgrade. I was looking through some stats regarding other Nikon cameras (I'm only looking at nikon cameras, so no other suggestions please.) Both the D300 (not the D300s) and the D2xs are in similar price ranges. The D2xs is obviously the older of the 2 and has been known to have some noise problems at higher ISOs, but is a full frame camera. The D300 is newer, but a non Full frame camera. Both shoot at 12.3 Megapixels. I was wondering what the opinion is of those who have had experience with the models, (preferably with both).
The other option is to wait a long time (potentialy 9 months+) in order for the price of the D700 to go down and purchase one. I'd love to wait till the D700x comes out (the 24.5 Megapixel sensor is very VERY tempting to wait for. I'm thinking of getting the D300/D2xs in order to hold me off till it is released and i have enough money for it).
Currently i'm leaning towards the D2xs because it is a full frame body, which (if i am not mistaken) will allow me to purchase lenses that will work well on a d700x body.
With all of this in mind, what are ya'll suggestions?
Thanks!
