I cannot wait to get some perfectly exposed indoor basketball shots tomorrow night! My old d40 never had any sort of feature like this, and it made PP so much more time consuming! Given the fact that the d40 is more noisy at 1600 ISO than the d300 is at 3200, I can finally shoot at f/4 with at least a 1/500 speed. Every. Single. Time.

Depends on what I’m trying to achieve. For stopping the action, the sky’s the limit; but realistically, 1/800 would be “ideal.” I’m seldom able to reach that, unfortunately, given the dismal lighting that exists most places. 1/250 is generally good enough to freeze the action with flash or strobes, again, given the poor Loaded question!

Be sure to set auto focus to "AF-C" to track moving subjects. And last but not least...read the manual! It's thick and intimidating, but explains things very well.
