i know that for sure but i find that this camera rebounds a bit quicker. i went out during the day and let it loose at P-mode and the 6fps mode and its funnnnnn

Don't let Edwin (P-Shooter) know. He might build a shrine of you in his closet for being one of the rare gems that use P-Mode.

i havent tried the D300 but i like the D90. ive tried my friends D90 once and i think its a good buy. its got good low light/high ISO grain control and it looks like the settings are easy and quick to change

RnB....your issues are those with exposure, not high ISO
2.8 aperture is what I want
I get noise compensating exposure for shutter speed at narrow aperture. Yes it's more exposure howeverall the high ISO shots are low shutter speeds. I can't see in detail with the noise because imviewing this on my iPhone. I have a low tolerance for noise.

if u dont care about the video feature too much, go with the d200... best buy is trying to get rid of their remaining d200 bodies and theyre selling them 600 brand new...

you would be happier bc its a mid-level dslr for the price of the d60 bodies...

wow that is a good deal on a brand new D200. another good thing about the D200 is the construction. I'm not sure exactly what it is made of but i know it isn't plastic like the smaller D40/60/80 etc... the body is SOLID.

i too was stuck being the d200 or the d90 but i went with the d90 simply because it is newer technology than the d200.. but if money is an issue.. you cannot top the price of the d200 no doubt..

I say pick up the D90 if you're planning to shoot more low light stuff and D200 if you're going to shoot with a fast lens. The D200 has a good sensor but it lacks in the low light department. I went from a D40 to D80 to D300 and the D80 has the same sensor as the D200 and it was awesome in normal lighting conditions. But anything above ISO800 or 1000 and it would be super grainy. I shoot ISO3200 with my D300 and the noise level makes it so the photo is still usable. I posted some shots a few pages back of my Ramen noodles and Cali rolls from a restaurant I ate at with some friends and the photo still came out nice.

Ok n00b alert >.<

lol

I've been looking at some cameras.

I'm still unsure whether to get a cannon or nikon.

My budget is about 900.

It'll mostly be for daytime shots, and stationary objects. But would LOVE (x100) to take pictures of some fast moving objects, prefferably cars ^^

Night shots... ehhh not to many of those. Maybe of fireworks and cars that look like xmas trees, but thats about it.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

canon xsi and buy urself an extra battery, uv filter, circular polarizer, and a good CF memory card (lexar or sandisk extreme).

That should pretty much get u started for a good while.

Go to some place like Photography-on-the.net and go to the buy/sell forum. There's a lot of trustworthy people there that sell all sorts of stuff, including batteries (got my extra battery for $25, original OEM canon battery too, brand new), and filters come and go ALL the time, although some sizes seem less sold than others (58mm is fairly common as well at 77mm).

If you don't want to do the forum route, I would say check out B&H photo/video.
