You'll know now.
It has dual (SD and CF) card slots and shoots 7fps (8fps with the grip).
Movie mode is max 720p @ 24 fps. It has stereo mic input.

The only interesting added feature (IMO) is "quiet" shutter mode,
presumably with longer blackout time, but probably useful.

I doubt any current D300 user will see the D300s as a step forward.
They should leave the video and other gimmicks on the non-pro range.

why? you can always just not use it if you don't want video. back when
autofocus came out, it too was thought of as a gimmick.

video is just updated firmware, which has already been developed for
other models. it's basically just saving the live view stream to a
file. it doesn't add much, if anything, to the cost.

but if you don't want video, go buy the d300, which will be discounted
now that it's last year's model.
