I am seriously considering the Fujifilm X-E2 which gives me an APS-C
sensor in a compact mirrorless body, with an exchangeable lens system.

Until I take the leap and buy that system, my D300S will do just fine.

how often do you push the limits of the buffer in the d300s?

because if it's not often, a d7100 is a big step up (as is the d7000)
in every way. the buffer is the only limitation.

I'd say that he should shoot with the d750 in crop mode!

He says, and links to an image that could have been

If you want to stay with an older model, all the power to
you. No need to "prove" it to anyone.

Savageduck:
Are you feeling particularly nasty today, or is
there something else bugging you?

BTW: I don't think you would be able to get this sort of image
with any current smart phone camera.

Sandman:
Then you think wrong. Here are some amazing landscape photos taken
with an iPhone:

https://www.flickr.com/search/?q=landscape&cm=apple%2Fiphone_5s

Those are a selection of some very good landscape shots and are
examples of what can be done with an iP5s. However, that excellent
work not withstanding, it is yet to become a replacement for a
dedicated camera. You haven't dumped your D800E or your Sony in
favor or your iP5S have you? My iP5S is my camera of last resort not
my primary.

Uh, I never said it would replace a dedicated DSLR, duck. I said that your
image wasn't very representative why one would stay with the D300S instead
of the D750. The D300S is a very capable camera that can do tons of stuff
that many cameras can't do, especially the iPhone.

Sandman:
Not sure why you think this image requires a D300S?

It doesn't require a D300S, but shooting motor sport does require a
camera capable of a decent frame rate, good exposure control, lens
selection, and be able to capture moment which are spontaneous and
fleeting on the track. While an iPhone might be able to capture some
of those action shots, it is not going to do it easily. Perhaps you
should spend a day at a track and try to shoot a few cars at high
speed with your iP5S.

Why?

Sandman:

...and that is not much more than a snapshot of questionable
quality.

I.e. it looked a lot like your D300S shot. Again, the D300S certainly can
take motorsport shots that would be impossible using an iPhone (or any
other low-end camera), you just happened to pick one that could have been
taken by a low-end camera.

Sandman:
Ah, you think to be in reference to the fact that a SLR has access
to zoom lenses. Taking amazing shots of airplanes isn't unique to
SLR's though:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/cjhawkins1961/14854638094

Nice static shot. Now go to an air show and shoot a few low level,

Again, taking photos with a zoom lens does not require a D300S. Your shot
could have been taken by a D3000.

high speed passes with an iP5S. Most of what you come home with will
be unusable, some will be snapshot souvenirs of the event, and
perhaps there might be one or two magnificent accidental captures.

Sounds like the harvest of any photographer using any camera, really. Or do
you imagine that motorsport photographers using D300S comes home with 100%
amazing shots?

I agree that the chances to capture a great shot is a lot larger with a
SLR, but that doesn't mean it can't be done.

While the iPhone 5S (and the soon to be unleashed iP6/iP6+) has a
good camera, there are places it is not going to out perform a
dedicated DSLR or mirrorless.

No one said it will, or does. You pretty much misunderstood the entire
point of the post.

Nice try, but no cigar.

That isn't exactly a naked smart phone. It isn't even a phone
camera. It doesn't use the sensor in the phone or shoot to the
camera roll in the phone. It is a hybrid using a phone as a
viewfinder & UI control device with its own sensor and memory card.
Also it can be used without the phone, so the iOS or Android phone
is an accessory for the camera.

BTW: WTF have you shot and shared lately with any camera?

Why so aggressive?

Eh, I couldn't care less about what camera you use, duck. As I said in my
first post - if you're happy with your gear - more power to you!

I am seriously considering the Fujifilm X-E2 which gives me an
APS-C sensor in a compact mirrorless body, with an exchangeable lens
system. http://fujifilm-x.com/x-e2/en/

As it should - and hopefully you have better pics to show for it than the
one you posted when stating the reason the first time around. The D300S
gives you all kind of control that many low-end cameras won't give youy.
Shallow depth of field, long exposures, wide range of lenses from super
wideangle to amazing zooms, IR conversions, super macro and so on. Things
that can't be done with any camera, and certainly not an iPhone.

My point was that you used a pretty standard any-camera shot to give
credence to your claim that you needn't upgrade to the D750 from the D300S,
and I just think that notion would have been more solid had the shot been
something a bit more remarkable, and not something you can shoot with
Instagram.

I meant exacty that, nasty.

So you can't explain it, huh? Just repeating the same word isn't really
helping me understand what you meant by it. So I'll file this under "Uh, I
dunno", then

Mainly at air shows.

because if it's not often, a d7100 is a big step up (as is the d7000)
in every way. the buffer is the only limitation.

....and that is a consideration.
