Gremlins can be fixed with firmware but they should have it all sorted as 24MP sensor is now used in other cameras.

yep jk but if you read through the gumph and i have been all day  it clearly states this is a brand new sensor and coupled with the expeed 3 processor .we have all seen the initial reports of oil and dust in the d800 and d600 .let the pros and money boys find any faults then let joe bloggs buy one

you would have thought that they would tried to get the buffer up to about the 20 mark.

Betchya there won't be a higher spec DX body anytime soon? Nikon are heralding the D7100 as the flagship of DX...not the flagship of prosumer DX!

I think that is true. The DX range is a poor cousin for FX but there are advantages for sports and wildlife photographers. The D7000 is good enough for my underwater work and probably also some of my uses on land where I want a smaller lighter camera. The D7100 has some nice new features but until we see the noise at high ISOs, which should be better than the D7000, it is an unknown.

In light of Jeff's comments I thought I would look to see why there seems to be more positive reports about the D300s. http://photographylife.com/nikon-d300-vs-d300s So in reality there is: No AF difference - however I never had a problem with this anyway. Hi ISO performance - I do have an issue here but I guess I was spoilt by the D3 and D700 and also D3S that I use. Lack of video feature - No real issue as I dont use the video feature ever, and LV not very often either. Artificial horizon, a nice to have so once again no problem. Quiet shutter release - I might use this but not often so once again no big deal. Higher fps on D300s (7fps) v. D300 (6fps) - Dont really care!! Difference in the use of the centre button in the selector dial - The D300s is similar to the D3, D700 and the D300 is different more like the prosumer models.! Hmmm.... Well I do prefer the D3 feature. Dual card slots CF and SD available on the D300s. Once again no big deal I have 8GB or 16GB cards in my cameras in the primary slot. I can carry a spare on in a pocket. So it seems that it is really only a high ISO issue I have with the camera and possibly the centre button in the selector dial. This report says there is no difference, except from one fellow who mentions the DPReview report, which I never take much/any notice of anyway as it is a pseudo (and fallacious) Hi ISO test done in a studio. Also another says "Looking at dxomark, the image quality improvements are in real life usage meaningless." So this is confirmed by more in studio tests that there is no real difference. http://photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00WSvd So I guess I return to questioning why I dont like the D300 but love the D700, D3, D3S and D800. I think I remember Eric has said he believes that the D300 and D7000 have similar IQ but with the D7000 maybe having a very slightly better high ISO performance but with different high ISO noise. (Eric please correct me if I am wrong). So is it just a personal preference thing or is it a technique thing ? I cant believe it could be down to one simple feature like the centre button in the selector dial. Or is it on such fine difference that camera preferences hinge. I notice a similar comment made in the D600 thread.

looking at it in the light of that jonathon ,the specs say it all apart from iso not a big deal of difference ,but the reason i prefer my d300s is not something than can be defined in mere words ,its the feel ,the way it handles,the quality of the finished photos .as i said somewhere earlier on paper the d7000 should outperform it and in certain light situations it does . so why do i pick up the d300s ,don't know ,cant quantify it but it happens . at one point through this dark horrible never ending winter i was keeping the d7000 for use with the 1.7tc and the d300s for use with the 1.4 tc and using both combos with the 300-f4 lens ,but since we have had a few days of decent sun (is that summer over already ??) and switching the 1.7tc to the d300s showed no loss in appreciable quality ,so it looks like this is my summer combo ,the new 7100 will stay on a back burner till sept/oct time to see what reports come in on it . also reading through various forums it seems that with the d7100 nikon japan have not stated this as the flagship dx model at all ,that phrase came from over hype by nikon usa and nikon europe .so perhaps we might yet see another high end dx model .as with the burst capacity it all seems to stem from one comment on one write up .so lets play the waiting game on this
