One thing I have started to really like on the D300 is its ability to meter with the old lenses. I have a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AIS manual focus lens, and I like using it with an extension tube for better than 1:1 macro photography.
When the 50mm lens is fitted on a D80, I have no clue what shutter speed to use to properly expose the sensor to the subject. I would shoot in manual mode, guessing what shutter speed to use. I would also have to turn the built-in flash to manual mode as well. The whole setup of shooting small insect this way is too cumbersome and I may not have the chance to shoot the bug a second or third time. The D300 however can meter the light required for perfect exposure. The built-in flash or pop-up flash just work. The D300 does all the work for you so all you have to worry about is concentrate on the subject, compose, and shoot. Nice, D300.

Invasion of What?
What are these bugs? I've never seen them before. I saw them at my parents' place the other day. Lots of them in soil or grassy areas.
