D90 or D300s?

Tim, we received our first shipment of Nauticam housings last week and all I can say is WOW!!! We have a D90 in here now I have been playing with. Best housing for the dollar hands down. Compact, machined aluminum. VERY ergonomic controls. Their viewfinder is amazing (and adaptable to all housings). The D90 is $2300. The D300s is now available as well, for $2800. I am personally switching to Nauticam (when the 7ds come in in a couple weeks). I like being able to use all my Sea and Sea ports!

I think both the D90 and D300s are awesome cameras. If you are looking to save some money, you certainly cannot go wrong with the D90 in a Nauticam housing.

I believe the main difference between the D90 and D300s (aside from cosmetic/body materials) is the autofocus:

D300s

• 51 focus points (15 cross-type sensors)

• Multi-CAM 3500DX

• AF working range: -1 to +19 EV (ISO 100, normal temperature)

• Contrast Detect in Live View (Tripod) mode

D90

• 11 focus points (1 cross-type sensors)

• Multi-CAM 1000

• AF working range: -1 to +19 EV (ISO 100, normal temperature)

• Contrast Detect in Live View (Tripod) mode

Also the D300s will take both SD and CF cards with the option to save images sequentially or when shooting in RAW + JPG to send one format to one card and the other to the other card.
