I think it's an expensive alternative solution.
As for the D300s...
- Video
- Support both CF and SDHC memory card simultaneously (You can actually do Raw + JPEG with a format on each card)
- 7fps instead of 6 / still 8 with the MB-D10 pack
- Built-in flash support 16mm lens instead of 18mm.
Only you can tell if it's worth the extra money.
Hope this help

Thanks for the help, the only reason I am considering the D700 is that I have some friends that keep telling me I need to go full frame. These guys are all professional wildlife photographers, I keep telling them I can't get close enough here to get the shots I want. Of course they keep telling me to stop being afraid of the leeches and get in the water more often. I think I will stay with FX, although I have got the D200 back in operation again.
I just spent an hour with Nikon Technical support and at the end they wanted me to send the camera in for service. I kept asking them to allow me to reset the camera to see what would happen as I thought it was doing bracketing. They had me change a lot of settings, that supposedly put everything in manual and it didn't help. Then I did a reset based upon their instructions that honestly did nothing, nothing as in did not perform a reset. After hanging up from them I did a reset on the camera using a different set of instructions and now it is not longer doing some kind of crazy bracketing. I think that I must have hit the wrong buttons in the dark this morning and really screwed it up. Either way it's back, but now I am leaning to buy a second body anyway.
You mentioned the price of the 300 vs the 300s, everywhere I look they are the same price so I guess it's a toss up on which to buy.
