300i vs 300? That makes the 300 an even more fantastic deal, so I bought one, but what am I missing?

The only difference I can see is that the 300i (from viewing Logitech's website) has a new glossy finish. The 300 has a black matte type finish. Everything else appears to be identical. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/remotes/universal-remotes/devices/6812

I too have my heart set on the d300. I would have purchased it already if I had not also heard the rumors of the price drop with the release of the d300s. I hear it could go as low as $1200! I'm going to wait it out a couple more weeks but I don't think I can hold out any longer than that!

Stay with the 200. Vignette is minimal to none and the clarity of the 18-200 is very impressive. Clear and sharp edge to edge(this impressed me the most.) You wont miss the 300 and you can take the money savings and apply to another lens.

The TR3000i has a slightly larger drive motor, a higher capacity incline motor, slightly higher top speed, a thicker deck with more suspension points, a slightly higher max. user weight, and a better warranty. I knew I would be happy with either unit but felt that the differences were worth the $500 price difference. I highly recommend the chest strap heart rate monitor and don't forget to order some silicone belt lubricant as it is not included. Hope that helps. I love mine.

I have had the t3i and now currently own the t4i... My wife LOVES the t4i, especially with the STM lens. The touch screen is really pretty cool and the live view mode is leaps and bounds more responsive than the t3i.

I own both. This is sharper and faster to focus than the 70-300. With either lens, "faster" is not a consideration. Both lenses are sharpest at f8 and require plenty of bright light. BTW, the lens hood from the 70-300 works on this version for those wondering...

Mark, you really can't lose with any of your choices. I guess it all boils down to the features which are most important to you. I can't speak for the S95, as I have only seen other's shots with this camera, but I own the 300hs and my girl and 2 friends have The SX230hs. I am very impressed with them both, but I do like the SX230hs slightly better, because the zoom gets you a lot more flexabillity. I purchased the 300hs over The SX230hs because I had only seen pictures of it before I got my 300hs; from the photos of it, it looked rather large, but after my friend got his, I realized it was pretty small as well.

I have the Xsi and I love it. Think about whether or not it's worth $250 extra just to have video and 3 more megapixels. The Xsi has 12.1 megapixels, but that's still enough to make a good poster sized print. I think those are the two biggest differences in the two cameras, so just decide whether or not those extras are worth the extra cash. Good luck! :)

If you do lots of photo or video editing, it might be worth it to spend the extra $300. Graphics are up to 4x faster with the card.

I got these a while back as well, and I absolutely love it. I started out using mine just for fun and to familiarize myself with photography, and now I do odd jobs for friends and get excellent results. The 32 GB SD Card is golden, I maxed mine the other day but I hadn't been clearing out old pics and I was shooting in RAW.I've never used the tripod... it's pretty cheap imo. The bag is ok, but in the end I have everything to enjoy and improve my skills comfortably.Also, definitely take the 300mm.

At this point, I'd say the 30D really doesn't have a lot of discernable advantages over the prosumer XTI model, besides availability. Historically, the higher end cameras have had sturdier chassis (which I would assume is still the case) as well as more configurable features and functions. Oh and resolution. Duh. Now that the XTI has been significantly improved, it seems only logical that the 30D is next in line for upgrades, probably before the actual release of the XTI. Or maybe the 30D will be killed entirely. I'm waiting for the XTI.

Definitely go with the 300. Our 11y/o has been using it for one year. Our 9 y/o is no longer happy with the 200 and wants the 300, he says he can't keep up with his brother..

I am having the SAME problem ... I did all this research and determined that the 880IS was the camera for me. And I saw a number of posts indicating that people were paying around two fifty for it. And now ... I cannot find it ANYWHERE!! Does anyone know if it is discontinued or replaced by a newer model?

I have them both. The 300 is a bit quieter, however, it requires filter replacements much more often (3-5 year vs 1 year). Therefore, which is more important to you?

More bang for your buck will be the XTi, since it is cheaper and you honestly won't get much better photos from the 40D. However, if you can swing the money, I wholeheartedly recommend the 40D. I recently upgraded from the XT to the 40D. The additional controls make it so much easier to change settings, the larger size feels more balanced, etc etc. However, the XTi is a great camera, and don't feel bad about buying that either! It's a nice upgrade from my XT, which I loved for 2 years. You honestly can't go wrong with either one. Go to a store and handle each and see if one feels better in your hands than the other.

I own them both, and have been using them in my portriat studio for a while now. i'll say this, theres really not much difference in the two cameras, a few minor upgrades in the xti, what it boils down to is image quality, and from what i've seen they are equal. Just as fyi, I have been able to get prints as large as 20x30 from both cameras with excellent results.

i just ordered my D300 kit from B&H.; The camera alone was $1524 but I clicked on the kit link and found I could get it with the 16-85 (almost $600 retail) for $300 more. Easy decision. It was by far the lowest legitimate price on the net.
