I will admit the flash sync is nice, but 1/16000 shutter isnt really needed. I've never even used 1/8000 on my D300. I wouldnt say it teaches you to get composition right the first time. Its a news photographers camera. They are like chain guns. I medium format film camera teaches you to get it right the first time. No screw ups allowed there.
