So far the D3000 and D5000 do not have the AF motor. Time will tell.
What's sweet about the D300s, and I'm pretty sure the D300 would be the same, is the addition of a battery grip bumps up the FPS. The battery grip doesn't increase FPS on the D90.
My only gripe with Nikon is I wish they get into the MP race with Canon. (The D3x is the only Nikon D-SLR over 12MP.) But I have no plans in jumping ship. Waiting for that Nikon that will have 15MP+ (not interested in a "pro" camera). And the ability to shoot 1080p video through Nikkor glass, maybe the D700 replacement will have it?  |
Yeah, it does on the D300 as well. I get 6fps normally, and I get 8fps with the grip. And as an added bonus, the grip makes it look sexy. The D90 grips are wimpy!!
You should read up on MP. You would be surprised how much it does not matter.
The MP race is a marketing ploy for uneducated/novice photographers. Unless you are blowing up your pictures into giant posters, billboards, or cropping them down 15 times their normal size, you won't notice a difference.
