Trouble is the d300s isn't that great an improvement re high iso on the d200. I find the light here in the north of Scotland is pretty poor and I'm fed up trying to hand hold at stupid shutter speeds even in the middle of the day sometimes. So, I want a "modern" camera that will last me for ages without needing and upgrade. I'm surprised the D700 is only 100g heavier as anytime I've held one it feels like a much bigger beast.
Oops....On rechecking it's 154g ......1074g v 920g
Not sure what to suggest. I suspect there is very little ISO advantage between any of the lighter weight bodies. It's only when you get to the FX models, with their lower MP and bigger sized pixels, that you start to get the greater ISO advantage.
Sadly these are also the heaviest bodies.
Maybe the answer is a monopod.
But as they say 'if the answer is a monopod, it must have been a very silly question'
