Really great photos. That D300s and 300mm work seem to work well together. And of course the fellow behind the camera has to be commended also.
So, has the D300s taken over as your go to camera over the D7000?

its certainly looking that way gary ,the a/f and burst rate alone more than compensate for a few lost megapixels .got a grabbed burst of a buzzard last thing today that shows the potential of it .i suppose if and when they produce a d400 and hopefully incorporate the best of both cameras we will have a wildlife ideal rig.

I keep looking at the two photos and wonder why we need more than 12 MP's? I certainly have no idea why we need 30+MP's.

We don't.

I have been beating this drum for ages but people keep buying higher and higher Mp cameras so Nikon thinks that's good for business and keep making them. That has to be good for business.

In practical terms ultra high def is only needed if images are to be taken to bill board sized prints and retain good detail. I will admit my 2.7Mp D1 was a bit low res, but only if you wanted small crops. Otherwise the 2.7Mp camera is still capable of good images, I have some large prints from the D1 which are fine.

For the first year or so after I got my D200 I set the resolution to about 5Mp because it was too big a jump for me all thew way from 2.7 to whatever the D200 does at full res, I can't even remember, all I know is the output is good enough for what I want.

I agree which is why I will be keeping my D3 and D3S.
The D700 is for sale if there is a buyer in EU but logically the D600 will reduce interest.
My D300 is of use where I want the x1.5 multiplier effect.
The D800 is also useful where I need high quality blowups for publicity posters.
