Nikon D90 or D300

[kundalini]

Something I just discovered on a search in the D90 owners manual from another thread......

The D90 does not have Interval Timer Shooting (intervalometer), but the D300 does.

D300 Advantages/D90 Disadvantages

* D300 has better ergonomics - this is far superior than the D90
* D300 is a semi-pro camera and has the quick adjusting switches and buttons
* D300 is fully seal against dust and water
* D300 has 51 AF points against the D90's 11 points
* D300 can do 6fps against D90's 4.5fps for now.
* D300 has a better metering system

D300 Disadvantages/D90 Advantages

* D90 is cheaper
* D90 has the new video feature (but is limited to 5min - so may not be that useful)
* D90 still has the "auto" mode which despite it being useless 99% of the time it can be useful for those split second moments where you "need" to get the shot before it goes.
* D90 is said to make better use of its 12MP sensor.
* D90 could potentially perform better at high ISO (rumours)

D7000 is being released soon which may be worth the wait
