D300's a bit slower to lock-on than the D3 or D2H, but tracks as well as the D3 (It's got less processing power than the D3 and more sensors than the D2H). My only dislikes with the D300 are the lack of SR and a somewhat unpolished UI (some silly things in the menu setup). A huge upgrade over the D200 if AF or low-light work is a concern. -- M.
