Its dark in asylums and other urban exploration activities however with a good camera – you can still capture the mood! Nikon have just released details of the new D300s which comes with some new features, headlines are HD video, dual CF and SD card, faster frame rate to 7fps and 12.3 mega pixels…
Heres the list of goodness…
- Rapid 7 fps*1 or 8 fps*2 continuous shooting (CIPA Guidelines)

Interesting that Nikon have decided to add a SD card slot – is there any acceptance that SD technology is getting close to CF? 12.3 megapixels – great but is it all really usable?
The icing on the cake has got to be the inevitable HD Video – this seems like a good marketing point!
It this enough reason to split with £1500…? You decide
