Nikon D300s ( a successor of my camera D300) has been discontinued
#17

Julian, that completely sums up the shooting differences between the two. The only other consideration is that the body and design of the D300s matches the D700 almost exactly, and closely resembles the D3 family, making it a good 1.5x crop body for someone who uses either of those two cameras on a regular basis. But with the exception of the 10-pin remote socket, the D800 and D4 family take much of their styling from the D7000; the D800 even uses the same EN-EL15 battery as the D7000.

The only thing that makes me think that the D300s will eventually be replaced is the huge, yawning pice chasm between the D7000 and D800. I could see a camera with the D800's body, weather sealing, AF and metering coupled with a 16-to-24Mpx sensor with an 8-10fps shooting rate selling around $1600-1800. At the moment the D300s remains the second-fastest camera in Nikon's range, with only the D4 beating it in shooting speed. Now that the 5Dmk3 has decent autofocus with 6fps (and Canon still has the even quicker 1.6x 7D doing 8fps) Nikon has a new gap in their lineup, creating a slot that a sub-$2k camera would be perfect for.
