D300s Replacement.

....And put it in a decent body, a'la D2/3 series - now a gripped DX body would be the nuts and I hazard a guess that with myself and AWP wanting one, it'll make it into production, such is the might of our wisdom :D

they need to make it in d300 style body and d3 style to cover all options.

Keep the D300-type body (DX, ungripped) for those moving up the ladder who don't want a hulking great piece of metal, but a set of gripped bodies that cover both DX and FX would be awesome, very similar to how Canon have retained the 1.3x crop alongside its FF 1Ds.

Will never happen now Nikon have firmly set its stall out for FX, but I can dream :)

That that would be nice, still have an old S3 (very old) in my bag and the built in grip still feels superior and far more ergonomic than any bolt on by comparison

That said, the D300/700 drip is some what different, particularly the way its moulded.

And it keeps the price down like has been said for those stepping up the ladder, or coming to a stop weight wise. :)

Still stands though,,, place your bets on what the price is going to be, also is there going to be a D700 upgrade? as so far have not seen any yet. :thinking:
