He's somewhat on crack. While the D300 doesn't outdo the D2X at ISO 640 and below, it utterly stomps the D2X at 800+ for IQ. The D2X is anything but a high ISO camera and the D300 doesn't come into its own until you start shooting high ISO, the D300 is also much more of a sports camera, with better AF tracking and a higher framerate (D2X only does 5fps at 12MP, it relies on a ~7MP crop mode to hit 8fps. The D300 needs teh grip and either 8x AA's or an EN-EL4 battery to do 8fps, but does it at full resolution).
I wouldn't buy a used D2X today. the D300 is more camera. -Adam On Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 8:06 PM, David J Brooks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I respect Mikes reviews a lot more than or friend KR, but if what i > read is true, that he thinks the D300 and D2X are related, i won't > have to buy a used D2X.:-) > > Dave > > On Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 7:11 PM, P.
