Been doing a lot of browsing overnight and this windy morning and taking into account I already have the D300S which is reasonably fast and accurate .. on my budget which is not likely to increase which of these would be the best choice D300 or D700 or just stick with what I have ?

OK the D5, D500, D850, Z7, Z6 use the latest AF unit which is the best that Nikon has in the market. Some may argue that it is better than other manufacturers but that is debatable as other factors also then come into play. The Z7 and Z6 being mirrorless are also slightly different as they have addition AF. I dont see any difference between AF speed and reliabillity between Z7 and D850. Test I have done with my D850 v D500 indicate to me that the D500 is more sure footed regarding AF lock on and reliability. These are my in-use tests and not in-lab scientific tests. I think this is due to the AF hot spot layout which is all over the screen rather that in the central part. So for wildlife and sports I would reach for the D500. Everything else I would go for D800, D850 or Z7. That said Graham manages very well with his D850 anf 500mm f4 for bird photography. My BIF tests were conducted with my Nikon 200-500mm f5.6 AFS VR and 300mm f2.8 AFS and 400mm f2.8 AFS. I cant see any difference in the AF speed between D800 and D850. So for speed of AF the units go CAM20K ==> CAM3500 ==> CAM4800/4800DX ==> etc.... One thing that is missing from my table is the chipset level EXPEED 5, 4, 3. This chipset makes a difference in the noise levels in images and also does tweaks to the AF and other stuff, the exact content is unknow unless you are in Nikon Japan as it is proprietary.

Like I said Jeff. D300 then D500. I waited and waited for the D500 as there was nothing better until the D750 but that was FF.

Very nearly bought a D3 just now .. but not sure about FF for what I do , plus getting the results I want from the D300S , finding out about auto iso might help as well .. I also think the weather isn't helping , seen a video tonight of waves breaking over the top of a 200ft high cliff along the coast . Hoping on some snow this week to brighten things up

If you are happy with the results you are getting I would stick with 12 bit as it gives you better FPS on the D300s. It also depends on what you are using the pics for, if its just for you and you don't print them too big 12 bit will be fine.

Cheers Iain already worked that one out , changed to auto iso and the spot type metering system .. it all seems to work well together .. the D300S files seem to like lightroom and photoshop to , so it's a mix of modern lens ,old camera, modern p/p works for me anyway
