They should keep the DX format so I don't have to replace my lenses, but make the sensor do better with low light. It would be nice if the sensor could handle high ISOs like the D700.

I also wish bracketing wasn't hidden as deeply as it is. I had to assign one of the customizable buttons to it.]]>Jan 29th 2010 11:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/DX smaller sensor... keep DX lenses,
or Full frame, larger sensor...Captures more light.

Pick one, any one, every one's a winner.]]>Jan 29th 2010 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/You could increase light-sensitivity by reducing the pixel count. I doubt that most users actually need 12.3 MP. At 300 dpi prints this would make ~20x14inch prints, but then you can poke your nose into the picture without seeing pixels. Given that most PC screens don't show visible pixels at ~72-100dpi you can get extremely huge prints with 12.3MP.

One other option is to apply something similar to the Sony Exmor technique. Or even license it (if possible).]]>Jan 30th 2010 4:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/

Well, by making it micro 4/3 of course.]]>Jan 30th 2010 4:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/Jan 30th 2010 5:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/I looked at a Nikon at a shop, looked great, cool in camera effects. Nikons have years of great glass and I wish I could've gone with them, though I'm happy. I want 1080p24(23.98), 720p60(or more for slomo). A card format option to get rid of the time limit issues, maybe support different file systems if that's doable, IDK. And a high quality video codec, h.264 probably. Low noise at high ISO is a lot of fun. ]]>Jan 30th 2010 5:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/Jan 30th 2010 5:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/
Did a heap of research before buying it over the D90. I originally started with the D70s.

I think each to their own. Get what suits you and stick with it. For me, matrix metering with manual lenses opens up a whole new world to me. As did the fantastic 51 point AF and dual memory card feature. Video isn't really something important to me. But having it there is a nice bonus feature.

Had this camera since Octobet and it has served me very well ever since.]]>Jan 30th 2010 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/Jan 30th 2010 7:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/Jan 30th 2010 8:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/Jan 30th 2010 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/Jan 30th 2010 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/Jan 30th 2010 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/Jan 30th 2010 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/
The D3s is the best camera nikon makes (better than canon's 1D4 even) because it has a useful 12,800 ISO stop, not because it has more pixels.]]>Jan 30th 2010 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/Jan 30th 2010 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/
And yes I agree 6MP would be enough if it can do nice 10k iso...lesser MP means better and fast focus as well

As far as video goes, being a photographer I dont use video feature thus no value to me. i buy camera for photographic capability not videos...]]>Jan 30th 2010 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/how-would-you-change-nikons-d300s/Almost went with the D300, but decided to forgo the investment as this was my first dslr after moving from the film and with the technology going so fast, I'm sure we are going to see the refresh in a year or two. By that time here are the things I would like to see in the D300
1. the light sensitivity must go up, please go with those crazy ISO numbers and fix the noise matter.
2. bump up the sensor sized to handle 20mp
3. video mode sucks huge, how about 1080p 24/30/60fs with the autofucs in place and if you are going to leave the 720p make it 240fps. stereo mikes?
