The Terminator of DSLRs, Nikon's D300S is rugged, fast to focus, and boasts super shooting skills. Easy-to-master interface. Ultrasharp 3-inch LCD. Great attention to details that matter: dual card slots, ISO range boosted to 6400 with top-rate noise-reduction. 720p HD video and an external microphone jack make for dazzling movies. Total kit costs less than a ticket to Papua.
TIRED
Bigger form factor and sturdy construction mean you'll really feel its heft after a long day.
