I have been going to dump my 40d and jump on a d300.
I fell into a deal on some nikon glass and a d70.
I started looking for a deal on a d300 about 2 weeks ago.
Put my 40d up for grabs on ebay.
I just found a d300 on display at local retailer. Set with it in my hands for over an hour.
Could not get it to resolve a single image. AF was all over the place and dog slow next to the 40d. I came home and punch into google. I entered d300 problems. Bam!
Sure as hekk...bad rap on this issue as well as others.
Who needs to be a test pig for a huge outfit like Nikon.....Not me.
I ran into post after post about what a great body Nikon had in the D300 and D3.
Then in some circles I ran into the cons.
Read all about how Nikon dropped the ball and was still looking for a way to resolve its issues. I am sure they will........in time! Nikon may have hit a soft point in the market on some cool features and extra frames with its new flagships. But they fail in the field of battle. Its simple. If it dont work who needs it?
My 40d and L series glass earned me 800 bucks last weekend. Over 3000 photos.
I only caned about 30 of them due to AF issues. My point is. Canon works when I need it. Its far better to have a gun that works than one that jams.
As soon as I send this my sale is over for my Canon gear. I will wait for the next flagship they launch soon. The one that blends the full frame of the 5d with the proven bells of the 40d. Well worth the wait Im sure.
