A New Camera - Nikon D300

Well, after much debating, thinking, reading reviews and generally getting bitten by the upgrade bug; I invested in a spanky new Nikon D300 dSLR yesterday, and I have to say that after an initial wave of ‘Oh crap, what have I done!!!!?’ I’m really happy with it.
The new screen and live preview are worth the upgrade alone, but the new features that I’ve actually had the opportunity to play with are certainly useful. I’m really looking forward to getting the chance to shoot some motorsports in the next few weeks (BTCC at Donington or Thruxton in May I hope!)
If all goes to plan, the extra FPS should be really useful for capturing the action, and the new 51 point 3D matrix autofocus system should prove very handy with the fast moving cars and hand held panning shots.
As you can imagine, there will be a whole new collection of photographs posted here and on the forum from the day(s).
