Default Choices

Hey guys,
It looks like i am going to upgrade sometime soon and i am stuck between th D90 and D300. From my research, i have noticed that the D300 and D90 share similar traits, image quality wise, so i am instinctively inclined towards the more affordable D90. It's cheaper, it almost has the same low-light capabilities of the D300 but it has some system issues. Are the D90 users happy with their DLSRs ?, from what i have heard that there are some functionality issues with the D90, so anyone care to give some insight ?



Sorry for the long post, i need to make the right choice

FWIW, according to this the D90 does seem to do better than the D300 at high ISOs.

The only reason I'd go for a D300 over a D90 is AF-Fine tune which comes in handy if a lens has front or back focus issues with your camera. Friend of mine owns a D90 and loves it. I'm using a D80 which is great too. You can't really go wrong with either.
