I need comments on the Nikon D300s is it worth purchasing for someone who has only used a film SLR camers. Looking for a camera that is semi-professional that also has auto mode and also will enable me to change setting when I want to.

Are you only interested in Nikons? If you have only used film SLRs you will probably want a DSLR that is full frame. The Nikon D300 is a great camera and if you shoot Nikon it is highly recommended and has auto and manual mode. I used to shoot Nikon but switched to Canon. Specifically the canon 5D MII... it has full frame 21MP and shoots HD video as well. It is roughly around the D300 price, but really can last you for years. The 21MP is very nice as it allows you to crop more and if you want to do wall size enlargements of your photos it is useful. The other camera that the entire industry is buzzing about is the new Olympus Pen. It has interchangable lenses but is NOT an SLR. Here is the deal... you don't really need it to be an SLR in the digital world and this allows a much smaller camera and lens... great for travel.
