Best Digital SLRs

This camera is amazing. Auto-focus, blazing fast and always accurate. I don't know how it does it, but it nails the focus every time no matter what I'm shooting. With other camera I would always you center-point AF and focus and recompose. With the D300s I leave it on auto-area and get perfect focus every time. High iso, one of the best in it's class, better than any Canon cropped sensor camera, and equal to Nikon's own D90/D5000. This thing is built like a tank, it's tough and will last you for years to come unless you throw it in the middle of a highway. It's shoots more frames per second then I will ever need, but if you're serious about sports photography this camera is for you. The image quality is best in it's class. Compared to the Canon 7D the Nikon D300s gives sharper pictures with less noise and great detail over iso 400. The 7D photos to my eye looked too "digital" and processed. Where the D300s always gives a natural film like quality to it's images. The color, contrast, sharpness, and exposure all seem much better to me on the D300s than the 7D.

Then only downside to this camera is the video. Like all DSLRs that can shoot video, it can't auto-focus while shooting making it useless for all but the most hardcore video experts and film makers. It also suffers from "rolling shutter" while shooting video, but I don't really care because I don't buy picture camera to shoot video, I buy them to take pictures. No other camera beats the D300s in this price range at this time in my honest opinion.
