always a hard call - but i love my d200...

I'm a Canon gal myself...but if it were me, I would probably wait for the 300 (unless you can find a killer deal/sale on the 400 when it comes out!).

I think I'm going to wait....the differences are vast enough in the reviews I've read (and the test shots between the two) that I dont want to regret it.

Just seeing this now...I honestly don't know much about the differences between the D200 and D300. That looks like a really good price for a D200, but then again that's fairly old technology by now.

Now, that aside, have they already announced a D400 and I just missed it? Or are you just saying "whenever" they come out with the D400...?

No news on the d400 (although there are undoubtedly rumors galore!)

I'm leaning to waiting for a d300 - the test shots I've seen comparing the 200 to 300 are mindblowing. (As well as the battery life!)

However, its an insane price and I wonder if I could find a 300 at that price in 18 months or so. They're still going for $1200 gently used on ebay....

I have no idea, but then you also have to consider the wait...do you really want to go another 18 months with just the D50? if so, no big deal. but if you're ready to upgrade, that's a long time to wait...
