I think the price will drop after the first rush and a good supply is reaching the uk as it's £600 more expensive than the Canon7D mkii it's main rival. When the price does drop I'll be ordering one.

I have been looking at the feature comparison between D500, D7200 and D300S on NikonRumors website. http://nikonrumors.com/2016/01/07/nikon-d500-vs-d7200-vs-d300s-specifications-comparison.aspx/ When you compare what is on offer the D500 has better AF, and video than all but it is not so far behind the D7200 in MP but D500 has better buffering. The D300S lags in AF a little, buffering a little and a lot in video and a lot in the MP stakes. However looking at it dispassionately then there is a lot to say unless you need the video and extra MP then a D300S could work for you!

The old D300s is still a usable camera especially with the software that we have now. I've been playing around with some old D300 files in Nikon view NX-I and PS and got usable images from ones I had not been happy with at the time.

I am currently sorting out my business photos and artwork, preparatory to offering them to past customers when I close the business in March. Some of the old D1X photos have incredible clarity! With only 6mp they are possibly not going to blow up like a D500. Nevertheless, I did A3 glossy mag spreads with many of these images and no complaints from clients. Of course the glass was good...that's why I have kept it. But I wonder if we inadvertently put in less 'effort' with more capable cameras?

I think it is a different or evolved effort. Shooting say fireworks from start to finish takes about the same time and effort today as it did with film. Then we shot a roll, or a few plates, and spent the rest of the night in the darkroom, emerging in the wee hours with a handful of prints, and hopefully, a realy good one. Now we spend the rest of the night on a computer, ending up with hundreds of adjusted virtual immages, and hopefully a realy good one.

I think that even as pros we get caught up in the megapixel race. The big thing was always having good glass and a capable camera and the ability to see and compose the image. Now people take the shot and compose on the PC and need the mp to crop, I've found myself doing it as well. We/I have got lazy at the taking stage. Like you Eric I have shots taken with an old,in my case, 1Dh and they still. Now print up to a3 and look good as they filled the frame.

Nowdays pulling jpg's from 4K video gives more resolution than a 1Dh. Tried this out with some concert footage in 4K and unadjusted full frame prints looked good at about 12x20, which is roughly a streached A3 size.

As Iain eluded to, when your equipment is limiting, you have no alternative but to maximise the image quality at capture. For example getting in closer to have more pixel coverage, using tripods and optimum quality settings. With the improvements and advancements of DSLRs we don't have to buy exensive long lenses, or get in as close... because cropping low ISO shots gives adequate quality...to a point. And that's perhaps where laziness comes in. Because we can get 'acceptable' out of the bag, we perhaps don't strive for 'optimum' as much as he HAD to do when DSLRs were in their infancy,
