If you're thinking of upgrading because this camera's video recording features you will be sorely disappointed. There's an unfortunate 'rolling shutter' issue that messes with the video recording.
There's a magnitude of technical causes for the "rolling shutter" (the CMOS image sensor is the culprit) although cutting to the chase for those of you trying to find a fantastic still and video digital camera in all probability should not think of the D300S as being a 'holy grail' of under $2000 "prosumer" cameras not just yet anyway. Software is available to correct this problem, although it is a tad upsetting that Nikon didn't take care of this in the firmware.
