i aquired a canon 1dmkii last week from my lad ,and although its a ex-top or the range canon model and has some super features it doesn't come anywhere near the d300s .the sparkle you get from nikons dynamic range is missing from canons .probably consign this one to a macro camera and for back up ,to good a price to let it leave the house !!!


I also considered one of them as a replacement for the D300 but decided that I should just be patient (doesnt sound like me).
However my D300 is my oldest camera that I use regularly on land so it is due for replacement or movement to the museum section.
