You might have got away with it if you had a APS-C body (480mm FF equivalent FoV), but 300mm on a FF really is going to be VERY limiting.

It's more about pixel density than sensor size, when you get into focal-length-limited scenarios.  The 3.1MP D30 should come to mind whenever one is tempted to talk about APS-C magnification powers.
