Good job.

I am surprised, however, that you  could not produce similar results with the D3100, which has a more recent sensor but is still DX. Can you share more about what you feel has improved for you as a result of the change in bodies?

the main reasons i went for the d300 were fps the d300 has 6 (can get to 8fps with a battery pack) vs 3fps with the d3100 and the auto focus has 51 focus points vs 11 on the d3100. i only shoot sports (junior rugby league) so wanted the higher fps and the better focusing.

i think i caught more action and more shots were in focus, normally i would take about 300 pics per game (edit down to 40 i post for the team) sunday i took 500 (edit down to 100 posted ). i was very happy with the results but wanted to know what others thought.

Ah, yes, of course. Makes perfect sense.

They are all very good captures, but 1 & 3 to me capture more of the contest of rugby. Looking forward to seeing more.
