The Nikon D300 has a superior AF system, weather-sealing, and several other features to justify the higher price, however real world tests showed the lower pixel density on the Nikon D300 often resulted in better ISO performance and generally cleaner images than the 50D, which can suffer from diffraction issues due to its much higher pixel density.

As such, and despite the Canon EOS 50D being the newer camera, its street price dropped faster than the older Nikons. 10 months after its announcement, the gap in street price between the two cameras has actually increased to over $400 from $300.
