D300s pricing ?

Hi VeRonica,

have a look here to find the price for the Nikon D300S, hopefully it helps you

[Calvin Tang]

What is more surprising to me is the announcement of the Canon 6D. Gentlemen, cheap fullframe cameras are coming

For another 25% more, might as well go for D800. Afterall the depreciation is certainly to offset the 25% mark up from lightweight FX to heavyweight FX.
D600 is over priced.
Bet they will come up with D600s, D610, D620, etc... but D800 will remain the flagship for a few more years to come.
So for investment benefit, skip the D600.

How does the thing feel in my hand? Got to play around with it during the Nikon Event in Fortcornwallis.....
Feels like a D7000 with a very deep grip. Frankly speaking, the D700 feels more solid and better built. I like the light weight feel as the FX lens are already heavy... but you might want to consider a battery grip to balance the D600 with those gold ring lens from Nikon.

Nope, in DX mode it's 10.5 Megapixels.
