I use that set up, and its bloody fast. LV is much slower though, espically tripod mode.

Well, actually, I'm trying to earn money with photography. So a really reliable and strong camera is a must. In my spare time I'm just a hobby photographer making some nice stuff now and then. But I need the same camera for my freelance work too. And I do not want Sony. I have an Alpha 100 now, six months old, and it fell apart. I just got it back from repairs. It was gone for almost a month :( So that rules out any Sony stuff. Sony makes general electronics, not optical instruments. Like Nikon!

The D300 is probably the best DX camera available, but if money is a concern the 40D is nearly as good. They are both excellent and if you don't need a all-out pro camera like the D300, a 40D is a lot of fun.

I am still thinking about my next camera, I am looking for a very decent workhorse, a camera that is strong, tough and good enough to help me earn money with it. So strength is a really important factor, but also versatility. For example, a 5D is very limited because of its slow continuous speed (3 versus 6-8). Also, I don't see a clear advantage of full frame, it just limits my choice on optics. Between the D300 and the 5D the Nikon is a clear winner, but what about the 40D?

Remember that 8 FPS must be chosen in the menu.

Okey, thank you very mush, then am i going to buy some AA's to my grip.
I'm quite new to DSLR and I own a D300.
The camera is awesome, but I have a small problem... the auto focus is sort of slow... I'm using the Nikon 18-200mm VR.
is it the camera, the lens, or me...
any expert here who can help me out :(

My focus is quite fast, though actual focus acquisition is a hair slower than the Canon 40D or Nikon D200. The D300 makes up for that by being more accurate, but it does take practice and effort with the settings to get the D300 dialed in for best results. I suggest studying the big manual closely and working with the settings. Keep in mind that turning on more focus points may make it accurate, but can also slow it down. Good luck.
