    Updated Nikon 80-400mm due

    Hi, They had the new 80-400 down at the Focus On Imaging show. To answer some of the questions above, yes there is a barrel lock on it and yes the lens extends out when you zoom. As to be expected, I could not really test it, but it did acquire focus very quickly in the exhibition hall...

    Hi, I have both cameras, although I prefer the physical size and build of the D300s, I now mainly use the D7000. I prefer the improved high ISO performance and other little tweaks. You should try them both out and see how they feel in your hand.
