Why the D90 if price isn't an issue? Size, weight? I went with the d300 because I didn't need video and I wanted to save some money. They're all good cameras. If price isn't an issue I'd spend that extra money on some great glass.

My D300 works great, 8fp (with a "hack" or grip) and the D300s if u want video and higher sensitivities

whoa my thread..

but yeah basically what i got out of it is that the D90 is more than capable for what im looking at doing. your better off getting some better glass because it really all comes down to that

Yeah, kind of a step up difference between the D300/s and the D90.


One is a higher end soccer mom camera and the other is a good prosumer camera.

If price isn't an issue and you don't need the video feature go with the D300 and get some nice lenses.


And when I say soccer mom/prosumer I don't mean any are bad, shit, I've seen better pictures taken with D70's than with D3's...


I would suggest the D300 or D300s.
