Do you need video? If not, buy my D300 so I can upgrade to a D700!
I went with the D300 over the D90 awhile ago for the following reasons:
D300 felt better in my hands (slightly bigger chassis than the D90.)
D300 has better weather sealing, plus a magnesium chassis, while the D90 is more plastic. I felt the weather sealing was worth it since I'm in the Pacific NorthWet...
I didn't put video capability high on my list.
Also, right now Nikon is offering some pretty nice rebates when you buy a D300s with some lenses or an SB-900 flash. Might be worth looking into further....
