I'm glad I skipped the D200, stuck with my D70 and spent what I would have done on lenses instead. Don't chuck the D70 just yet: you may find yourself better off using D70 images straight than noise reducing and downsampling D300 images in low light. If Nikon made the D300 with worse noise than the D200, then IMO that's a mistake if the option was to stay at 10mp and improve noise performance. But my guess is that it's going to be good (but no - not a 5d). Take a D2xs sensor and add a few years of development, and it darned well ought to be improved. And no - the D70 has been excellent, but it's time to move on. At about 30,000 clicks, Even if I trashed it now, I've saved more than 5x what it would have cost me in film and processing, and the results have generally been better, sometimes much better than I ever got from 35mm. I shoot raw, and use an R1800 for printing. Viewing my old Cibachrome collection shows me very clearly how much things have moved on in a relatively short space of time. The D70's great for IR photography, whereas the D200 and, I assume, the D300 are not. Keep it if you can afford to. People worry that adding the extra pixels to the sensor will make the D300 noisier, but if DPReview is right, the D300 uses a CMOS instead of CCD, and thus may alleviate that problem to some degree. -- www.mattclara.com |
