hi everybody, just want to know is it worth the extra money for SB900 rather than the much cheaper SB600 ?

Only issue I'm afraid is condensation >.< LOL. Hopefully it isn't that cold at Germany when I go there next month...(or rather next year).
14-24 is pricey, but then is an very very wide lens for fullframe biggrin.gif.

yeah i agree 14-24 is expensive and its for FX. im going to use it on my d90 so 11-16 seems to be my choice =)

Basically the differences are

D90
- SDHC Memory Card
- 11 Focus Points
- Shutter Speed Max 1/4000
- Active D-Lighting (Off, Auto, Low, Normal, High & Very High)
- 4.5fps
- Fastest Shutter Speed with Flash: 1/200
- Shutter Death: 100,000 cycles
- 12bit RAW format

D300
- Compact Flash Memory Card (I prefer CF Memory coz I can transfer to PC faster.. hehe)
- 51 Focus Points (which I don't find any useful for this)
- Shutter Speed Max 1/8000 (I don't use that high speed)
- Active D-Lighting (Off, Low, Normal & High)
- 8fps (I don't shoot in burst mode)
- Fastest Shutter Speed with Flash : 1/250 (D90 also got FP ma..)
- Shutter Death: 150,000 cycles
- 14bit RAW format (Can select 12bit too)
- Additional AF button
- Can support AI-s Lenses
- Heavy but easier to hold (I agree on this)

I've personally compare D90 and D300 ISO noise control. D90 is obviously better than D300.  wink.gif

wow thanks for the detailed explanation. from what u stated, obviously the specs of d300 is superior to d90. is the picture quality very difference big ?


QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Jan 7 2010, 04:22 PM)
i'd go for the D90. D90 pwns the D300 IMO

unless u want that magnesium body lah

magnesium body sounds heavy but magnesium body sounds solid too sleep.gif

Both are using same size CMOS sensor. I believe D90 Chromatic Aberration control is better than D300 (Not proven don't shoot me  sweat.gif .)

I never stop friends buying D300. But I will definately will stop them upgrade from D90 to D300.  tongue.gif
Check this ISO noise control.. see which one you prefer.. hehe

thanks for the link ! it was very helpful. i've made up my mind, i will go with d300. the faster speed of d300 is what that fascinates me. thanks again
