Okay, now that we have that part out of the way, let's get to the build quality.
The D300s is built like a tank, but doesn't weight like one. I wasn't able to test the weather sealing so I can't vouch for it but I am confident the D300s can take on light drizzle (light enough to make others run for cover but not heavy enough to stop a birdnut)
The ergonomics is okay. I am okay with the way the controls are situated EXCEPT for the shooting dial that I need to press a release button before I can choose between the shooting modes.
The grip's material though, doesn't really fit me well. Maybe it's just me but I don't really like the feel of the rubber.
The ports, doors and connectors are placed quite strategically EXCEPT the microphone. I took a short video and was thoroughly enjoying that the D300s can autofocus during video recording until.. I played the video back.
The mic recorded the sound of.. the lens' motor! AAHHHHH!!!!!
External mic is a must.
And now, the juicy parts.. the Image Quality and the Auto focus.. next week. :)
