Get better glass always. If you must get a new camera, then get D300 with grip and some good glass. To buy the D3 now with your current lens line-up would be like putting a $5.00 hat on a nickel head (no offense, my glass ain't great either). And unless you are shooting in very dark areas or areas with funky lighting, then fast glass with the D300 at 1250 to 1600 iso should work great in most situations. Just my .02 |

5-10 years ?? More like two to three years. The problem in making a big purchase in any fast moving technology, is that whatever you buy will be overtaken with something better and cheaper in the next two to three years whether it is Cameras, PC's, Plasma TV's etc etc.
I think the D3 looks fabulous, but here's the thing, if you buy the D300 and a pile of glass, the glass will stay with you long after you have changed the D300 for the D400 or even the D500. |

It is a difficult question, glass+D300 or a D3. I would go for the D3, because I hate flash and find myself wanting more than ISO1600 at f2 often. Plus I have some good glass already. :)

I don't know about that...
I think the low light ISO ability rests in the full frame sensor and I think they'll keep them pretty expensive. Or as cheap as the Canon 5D has gotten but no less. |
