<p>Hi all,<br>

Please help! The card slot cover latch of my D300 fell off and now I can´t open the compartment to get the memory card! Has anyone had this problem before? Is it possible to open it without the little part so as I can at least use the camera before have it fixed? Also, does anybody know if it can break or I may be able to put it back in place again? I´m in Brazil so the best would be not to even think about sending the body to be fixed! Any thoughts?<br>

Thanks a lot in advance,<br>

Saulo. </p>

Thanks Shun! I´ve just bought one! This is the second time you help me to buy a Nikon item! Remember when I was looking for my D300? I live in Brazil and sometimes I have a friend in the US who can bring me what I need. Since my partner is going to the US in a few days and B&H right now has the 70-200 for the correct price I decided to buy it fast! I´m aware of the issues about using this lens on a FX sensor camera but I´m planning to keep shooting with my D300 for many years. So even when Nikon launches the updated version of this lens, I will try to keep myself calm thinking that the latest and greatest not always is the best option. Thanks again and best wishes to all! Saulo.

Although I agree that a good number of new Nikon products have recently been announced and launched, I was still hopeful that we would have a 70-200 f/2.8 VR replacement soon. It's been expected and since this lens cannot be found anywhere online except from Amazon for a higher than normal price, I thought that maybe it could be a sign of its replacement. Does anyone have any clue or guess when this new lens will probably be announced?

Well everything has already been well said about the clear advantages of this upgrade. So, I just want to add that I've recently upgraded from my beloved D70s to a D300 and coundn't be happier! This is a fantastic camera that I'm truly in love with! I could survive not upgrading to the D80 and it was very hard to let the D200 go. So I jumped directly to the D300 and I can guarantee you that if you can afford it, you will never regret it!
