I upgraded to the D300s from the D50 and there is no comparison. In addition to the other reviews, one of the biggest improvements are in the gentle handling of flash exposure. I used to have the flash compensation to +0.7 on the D50 to maintain natural skin tones, the D300s does a superb job with the flash exposure and requires no flash value compensation. In addition, the D300s functions in commander mode with Nikon flash units used as remotes. I have SB-600 (which by itself can only be used as a remote, unlike the SB-800) and it can be used a wireless remote flash unit. The D300s then controls the flash output and does the metering automatically. This allows the remote to serve as the key and the pop up on camera flash can then be set as the fill light. The possibilities are endless. While this may not replace my studio strobes, it enables me to use complex lighting out of my controlled studio setup with a minimum of fuss.
