The D300s is on the shelves at Best Buy in the USofA for a body only price of US$1799.99. But the interesting part is the D300 next to it complete with 18-55mm VR for $599.99 - that’s bloody cheap for a D300

Info from Engadget

wow...D300 would be preference if it was that sort of price split!

Well, that would be, were that the case.

The camera next to the D300s is the D3000, however.

One zero can make a lot of difference

I think that (US$1799) is less than the RRP for the D300 when it was announced.
