The bit depth of a RAW image is rather pointless to describe it.
It the storage format is different (and with the change from CCD to CMOS that's a sure thing), there's no comparison that can be made.
As to CS3, don't bother.
Use a dedicated RAW converter like Bibble Pro to produce TIFFs and JPEGs directly from the NEFs, in a way that can be easily reproduced without changing the NEFs themselves.
http://www.bibblelabs.com/ cheap, and very good (I rarely use Photoshop anymore since starting to use Bibble, most post processing can be done using it far more easily (and it comes with a somewhat feature limited version of Noise Ninja as standard, or can take your registered Noise Ninja as a plugin).

I have just received my new D300 and previously I have been using the D200 which is a fantastic camera, the new D300 comes complete with NIKON NX software.
In use the two cameras are very very similiar, I have to check the strap to find out which one is which. However, the difference in detail is awesome!!! I am utterly gobsmacked by the fantastic detail that the D300 can deliver with my current lenses, it's like a new lease of life. BUY ONE

Not me. I'm a gearhead but I'm not going to throw good money after more good money and buy a new camera at this stage.
The D200 does what I want it to do and I have at the moment no need for a second DSLR (which would be a D300 if I were to buy one most likely).

Jeroen, thank you very much for your great reply to my query. I have been away and having given up on receiving an answer, did not check in on this post, and I'm sorry for the delay in acknowledging your kind and valuable help. Antonia

The Nikon D300 is the world's best amateur camera. Forget the old D2Xs, which sells used for about the same price today. The D2Xs is 2004 technology that predates the D200!The D300 has better color, better highlights, better shadows, it's sharper because it fixes lens flaws, and its superior AF system and viewfinder free us to compose more freely than any previous camera. The D300 shares these innovations with its nearly identical $5,000 big brother, the D3. Compare their menus or read their users manuals and you'll see that they are the same on the inside! Owning both, I can confirm that they both operate in the same way and give the same look to their images. At ISO 200 with an exceptional lens, there isn't any visible difference I can see.

Thanks Brent. You may not have noticed that my query was in 2007. I've had the D300 since 2008 (can't believe it's been 4 years), and I am very happy with it. Not only does it make a great amateur camera, I've used it professionally in interior design, architecture, theater, landscape and portraiture. I've run across many other professionals who happily rely on it. Last year, I toured North and South Wales, as well as Northern and Southern Ireland, with two British professional photographers who were using the D300, who shared their knowledge with me. I returned with 5,000 pictures, most of them beautiful, and useable. The results with this camera are so outstanding, I find that I end up with many more useable images than ever. Thanks for your input. Antonia
