hi, wonder if anyone could help me with the decision about my next upgrade:
I have been looking at the D300 and it seems spot on for my needs, yet for the same price (or even a bit cheaper) I can get a very low usage D2X or D2Xs.
I mainly use my camera for extreme sports shooting, but quite often in bad conditions (snow/wet-ish). for this reason, the extra environment sealing on the D2X would be really useful, however the D300 seems to have better high ISO performance to help keep the shutter speed down.
Also with the grip+EL4a the D300 will do 8fps properly but the D2X can only crop to get 8fps - however the grip+EL4a+charger is about £300 or so extra so pushing the D300 cost not far off £1500 v £950 for a good D2X.
I don't have clue what is the best option here, anyone used both of these cameras who has got any good/bad feedback and advice?
cheers.
