How would you change Nikon's D300S?

Nikon's D300S isn't exactly tailor made for D300 owners, but for those waiting patiently to jump into the semi-pro DSLR game, it offers up a pretty delightful array of specs. Boasting SD and CF slots, a 720p movie mode and 12.3 megapixels of sharp shooting goodness, this here cam received overwhelmingly positive reviews late last year. Strategically positioned between the full-frame D700 and the lesser-specced D90, we're sure the D300S found its way into quite a few hearts (and under quite a few trees) between then and now. If you've been firing off snaps with one of these for a few months now, we're curious to know how you'd tweak things if the power were yours. Does the "S" really add enough to the D300 package to warrant the boost in price? How's the image quality? Is the video mode a-okay for your purposes? Spill your heart out in comments below -- we're here to hold your hand if necessary.

1) 14bit @ 7 fps (instead of just fast 12bit, oh, less the 14bit shuttle lag too).
2) Make video at least as good as Canon DSLR, otherwise, don't do it.
3) Build-in GPS would be nice.
4) Shuttle speed > 30s, 2 - 5 minutes would be nice.

5) Bracket allows 2EV increment (instead of 1EV max).
6) Provides free remote software with Live View.

I'd want them to get rid of the white focus assist light and put something in like they use on their SB-600 flash. I find that works many times better for using autofocus in low light, but I don't want to have to use my flash just to do that.

Also, the $1500 it's selling for on Amazon and Newegg should be the MSRP.
