>>70903 The D300 is going to be around $1800? Ouch. Now, I'll say that it certainly looks like it has better specs than the 40D. However, not that much better. Down at the low end, you have the D80 and XTi in competition, and I think that most people dropping close to a grand on a camera aren't going to mind paying (or saving) $100 for a few features. However, the 40D seems pretty comparible to the D300, but the D300 is going to be almost 50% more expensive. When it comes up to several hundred dollars, I think a lot of people are going to go with the 40D. However, it should give Nikon users a feeling of superiority to own the more-expensive camera.
It seems like Nikon and Canon are splitting into a staggered market segment. The 1D, is at the top, followed by the D3, and the flip-flop seems to go all the way down. I'd put the 5D next, followed by the D300, the 40D, the D80, the XTi, and finally the D40. Interesting pattern.
