Hey guys. I have been shooting for over a year on my Canon Rebel (XT) for over a year now and as I have grown I have run in to some hic ups with the limits of the camera. I was thinking of upgrading to a new body. At first I was comparing the 40D to the 5D. I know the 5D is a better camera, however its only 3fps vs the 40D's 6fps and since i shoot automotive racing for fun I think the added speed of the 40D would be better. Also I dont do a lot of prints so the extra Mega pixels and the extra resolution wouldn't really benefit me.

So after scratching off the 5D of the list I was browsing some camera mags and came across the Nikon D300. I have always considered my self a hardcore Canon guy but the specs on this camera seem to beat out the 40D .. they both have live view on the 3" LCD (the 40D has a 3.5" LCD), both now have the auto cleaning sensors, and some others ... but the Nikon is full frame, 52 point auto focus system, 12.3 mega pixels vs canons 10.1, 6fps vs canons 6.5fps, ect.

I know the one downfall is that I will not be able to use any of my current lenses. I only have 3 of which only 1 is really nice. The other two are the kit lenses that came with my rebel. Anyone one have any thoughts? Any downsides to switching brands besides the lenses?

D3 is full frame. D300 is still a DX format sensor.

I'm a Nikon guy, but I just couldn't see changing platforms. I love my D200, and have kicked around upgrading to the D3. The D300 is an evolution of the D200, and looks like a helluva great camera.

If you decide to upgrade, and change to the Nikon platform, your Canon lenses should bring in good change on the used market. I know the Nikon lenses hold value very well.

D3 or D300, they are both the same to me, since I can't afford either of them.

sell some photos. It never ceases to amaze me what people will buy. Stuff I think is crap - they buy it...sadly the stuff I like...well some of it doesn't sell I submitted a fav pic a day late to a showing, I didn't want it up for sale. Long story.

Isn't the 40D much cheaper than the D300, at least here it is.

So I got the 40D.
