Ithangyoo, I'm here all week, try the steak and don't forget to tip your waitress.
On a more serious note, here's the first result on googling "difference between nikon d300 and d300s".

I've had both, and in terms of actual use the major distinguishing features of the D300s over the D300 was dual card slot (something I found very useful), the ability to take vids (not good quality or very useful to me). There are other reported differences but nothing that was noticeable. I've had a chance to play with a D7000 recently which has better vid, two card slots, higher MP, better IQ at higher ISO, and just felt better all round than either of the others. A def case of newer is better this time round. Some might disagree, but if you have the money for a D300 then the extra 10-20% for a D7000 would be money well spent, and you can get a new D7000 even cheaper than a used D300s. Even if D300s and D7000 were the same price, I'd still take the latter...

Taken from a Google search
1. D300s shoots HD movies at 720p resolution, 24 FPS with stereo audio. Maximum length is 5 minutes for 720p and 20 mins for lower video resolutions.
2. D300s is slightly faster than the D300, shooting 7 FPS in Ch mode (Nikon D300 is 6 FPS). With MB-D10 battery pack, it will shoot 8 FPS.
3. A new release mode “Q” (quiet shutter-release) is added to the dial right after Ch (continuous high speed).
4. Dual card slots – the Nikon D300s features dual card slots to work with both CompactFlash and SD (SDHC-compliant) cards. Either card can be used as the primary card. Secondary card can be used for overflow or backup storage, or for separate storage of NEF (RAW) and JPEG images and images can be copied between cards.
5. Active D-Lighting now has “Auto” and “Extra High” added. “Auto” is something expected, as both D700 and D90 have this mode. The “Extra High” is something new though.
6. Nikon D300s is slightly heavier than the D300, adding 15 more grams of weight, weighing total 840g total.
7. Nikon D300s has a dedicated “Lv” (LiveView) and “Info” buttons on the back of the camera.
8. Nikon D300s has a virtual horizon now (D300 did not).
