I totally agree Jack but you have to remember that Dave already has a D200 and doesn't know how to use it

You should see him pressing buttons and fumbling through menus when you ask him how to set something simple - that's not taking anything away from him as a photographer.

Honestly, the only difference this will make to Dave is just that his bank balance will be a little less and he has a new toy to play with.

I just need a point & shoot

And therapy for your addiction to new toys

I think the D300 goes some way to improving the layout of settings + puts more buttons on the outside making them more accessible

The D200 has enough already

JMitchell · 14-03-2008, 18:21

Fine, it's your decision Dave, but you probably wont get this price again, so...consider carefully

LOL that's the best post in this thread so far.

Do you think the price is going to go up Jack?

Charlotte · 14-03-2008, 18:29

Ok Dave, you win - or would you be losing

The price at Warehouse Express has already started dropping

JMitchell · 14-03-2008, 18:31

No [steve] but I don't think they'll go as low as that for a while, if ever until the D400 comes out (which might not be next year, and if it is, it wont be as revolutionary)

... which is the same price as (ok £5 more than) Dave's current offer, if he uses his discount vouchers. Onestop are not likely to increase their price
