700 is full frame, 300 is not.. 700 is more $$...
.. what lenses do you have now, and what would you be using it for?
- ********0
lower cost and higher reach of the d300 vs low light image quality of the d700
- janne760
if you have DX lenses go for 300.
if you plan to buy FX lenses or use old skool nikon or nikkor lenses, go for the 700.
- You only need to purchase DX for a Fisheye or wideangle lens, use FX for the rest. I have the D300 and love it. But I haven't tried the D700.technikiller

I would go for the 700 because of the full frame, since almost all of lenses are '70s Nikkors...

the only aspect of full frame I desire is improved high iso

i dont have a wide range of lens both dx and fx. i can do either but i feel as though everything is moving toward fx and continue to buy dx lens may not be good in next 3-5 years

i do more low light with no tripod.

I have a 300, and its worked well for me (although the wife uses it 99% of the time..) When I upgraded from the 200, I got all new lenses, so I don't plan on grabbing a 700..
But if you have the lenses, and the $, its a pretty damn nice cam

i am coming from D80.. not sure if i should take on d700 or d300
- designbot0
Since I have no idea what you are talking about, I would say go with the 700 because of the higher number.

I want the d300 since it's in my budget and has a little extra reach. but if i had the money, i'd probably get the d700 instead (well, probably the d3).

oops, that's truth, my mistake.
i wrote 1.0 instead of 1.4.
the correct ir 1.4 or 1.2 lens
like these http://www.adorama.com/NK5012.ht…

i just got the D300 with 18-200mm nikkor and the 10-17mm tokina.
I'm loving it.

IMHO
i know allot of people who are asking this question.
today i would suggest the d300 simply 'cause its cheaper and cameras depreciate very fast. spend that money on lights or lenses. instead.
for long run i like the d700 since its using a full frame sensor. my guess is as the cost to develop sensors falls the dx series will eventually be phased out. so investing in high quality dx glass seems like a waste in the long term.

currently i am using D80, i see a lot of grain and i also blame my lack of talent in photography in my current camera.
what should i do?
- this thread is full of answers, knucklehead********
- or does it********
- you're not making sense********
- when do i really make or do i?********
- you do********
- no i dont********
- I actually like the quality of the grain in the d300********
- it's a pleasing grain********
- have you tried d700?********
- no--but there would be less grain there, due to ff********
