I was hesitant to take the plunge. I actually gave up my turn when I was up for a D300 back in November. We had just had a costly vacation and I wanted to make sure that the camera would be a notable upgrade over my D200. I waited it out a bit and read some reviews and it seemed that the D300 is, in fact, a substantial upgrade. I can confirm that it is, quite substantial.

The problem with camera bags is that each photographic situation requires a different combination of equipment. I tried the one lens solution with an 18-200 mm VR lens, and thought I had the ultimate lightweight travel kit, but that didn’t work out. For city travel, the lens is not wide enough, the zoom is wasted, and I have never been blown away with the quality of the photos from the lens either. I keep it as my backpacking lens though, because in the backcountry, weight really does matter.
