Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Nikon D90 Body

Purchased as a birthday gift for my daughter as her first digital SLR. She loved it. The camera is easy to use, very intuitive and takes great pictures.

My first dslr was the Nikon D40. I've had it for three years before upgrading to the D90. I just want to say I love these two cameras. The picture quality on the D90 is just phenomenal. The body build feels really firm and sturdy. It feels really good hands on. I know i'm going to have this for a while. I totally recommend it.

Who am I? Beginning at age 11, in 1965 and originally taught by my grandfather, photography has played an important part of my entire life.My digital photography began with scans I made back in 1987 using a 'Thunderscanner' that converted my printer into a scanner.More recently, I began photographing using digital cameras beginning in 1997.This Nikon D90 is my 3rd Nikon DSLR. It was preceded by my Nikon D70 and later a used, Nikon D200.Overall, I feel that the D90 outfit, which includes the 18-105 and to which I added the 70-300 nikkor lens is my personal, 'perfect' camera outfit!These two lenses have Nikon's VR (optical image stabilization) which does a phenomenal job, stabilizing your images shot handheld. And the lens's qualities are very good, too. I find the optimum sharpness to be around f/8-f/9 for both of them. There is some chromatic aberration on each at the shortest focal lengths but this is easily removed in software such as the Aperture 3 which is what I use.The 18-105mm lens is the one I leave on the camera a take about 95 percent of my shots with.I use the 70-300mm for longer reach when I need it, especially for small subjects such as birds and other wildlife that are at a distance.I had an old well padded LowePro bag that is about 14"x14"x5" and the camera with both lenses and all of my other personal items (keys, wallet, iPhone, etc.) all easily fit into it and slung over my shoulder so that I can 'draw' my camera and shoot within a few seconds of seeing something worth photographing.With everything in the LowePro bag, including my personal gear, it weighs less than 8 pounds! Not bad at all when you consider I'm set to shoot from the equivalent range of 27mm all the way up through to 450mm. That is the same view you see with 9x binoculars! Not bad at all!The speed that I can turn on and shoot the D90 is so short that it feels like a film camera! There is almost no delay so I am able to grab shots, effortlessly.I leave it setup with the following camera settings preset ... RAW plus JPEG, Autofocus on, VR on (this is amazing image stabilization in both of my lenses!), Aperture priority (with the lens typically set to f/9 for sharpest image quality) and the amazing Auto-ISO set with a minimum shutter speed of 125 and a max ISO of 3,200.My images are gorgeous ... sharply focused, with no motion blur from handholding the camera and well exposed (note that using RAW files in Aperture 3 makes it possible for me to both fine tune each exposure AND remove the slight chromatic aberration that appears when the lens is shot at it's widest 18 mm setting).Nothing is 'perfect' so, I'd admit that the D90 isn't as well built as my D200 was and because it was the first DSLR that had video capability, the video quality isn't the best.Still, when I consider the cost of the better built D300s (twice as much as the D90!) and that I bought this for serious still photography and not video, this outfit ranks all A's in my book!My decades of experience has also taught me that Nikon gear holds up much better in the long run AND that is the reason it holds a much higher resale value, too!If you want a DSLR camera with the best LCD (nobody has a better one so far!), a glass pentaprism viewfinder that lets you 'see' what you are shooting, even in low light and the Nikon brand name that means it will hold it's resale value, it is hard to go wrong with the D90 kit!BTW I've ordered the optional battery holder/side hand grip for it. Using two batteries, having a grip for portrait shooting AND adding just enough more below the D90 body so that ALL of my right hand's fingers can grasp the camera makes this a must have, addition.

I bought my D90 body new from Amazon in December 2008. It is now 3 April 2012. That's over three years. I've had no problems with it.I have two children and I shoot for pleasure. At a birthday party for one of my own, I'll take hundreds of photos.I've personally owned the following Nikon DX DSLR cameras:Nikon D40: No complaints really. I wanted to use some non-AF-S lenses (35mm f/2 AF D, for example) and wanted better metering, so I traded this camera and bought a used D70.Nikon D70. Pictures very blue. Great metering. Tiny LCD screen. Gave to family member. Bought used.Nikon D80. Hated it. I don't remember everything I hated, but I definitely hated the rear directional pad.Nikon D200. Great camera, pictures not sharp out of camera. I don't want to sharpen them in post-processing, so I went for a more consumer-focused camera (D90) that'd do more in-camera sharpening. Also, I wanted the D90's D300-like dynamic range.Nikon D90. Love at first sight. I still love it today, over three years later.Next I want a D800 as I've wanted to go full-frame for some time. But the D800 is a lot of money for a hobby camera, so I don't know when I'll drop my D90.

Having owned the Nikon D40 as my first DSLR for 4 years, (I had a hard time giving up my SLR!) I quickly outgrew the features and wanted to make an informed purchase. So, after doing months of research from various sites, speaking with professionals, reading articles, etc.I finally found the perfect DSLR for my purposes! I photograph everyday, an aspring pro with a degree in photography but stuck in a daily grind job I needed a camera that allowed me to photograph for fun and practice my passion.The D90 allows me to take great shots in all types of lighting conditions which was the biggest obstacle I had with the D40. The ISO goes to 3200 and can be pushed higher with minimal grain.The automatic focus is quick, so you don't lose that all important action shot and you can lock in on the subject and recompose your pic, love that. The feel of the D90 in your hand is wonderful, it's a bit heavier than the D40 but not too heavy that it becomes a burden to hold or lug around all day. The overall functions of the D90 are easy to control w/o having to take your eye away from the viewfinder! I typically shoot manual so I haven't experimented too much with the functions such as portrait or sports, etc. The one thing I found that I hadn't read was that you can create a slide show to music right in the camera. I really don't have much use for that but was able to create a show for a presentation at work w/in minutes, it was fun and people loved it! Also, I find myself using the in-camera editing tools more and more, I still edit in Photoshop but really only for "trickery". Nikon has come far in providing great color balance features, white balances, a straightening tool, etc. too many awesome featrues to list! I also purchased the kit lens 18-105 which is fantastic! Best kit lens as far as quality, clarity, and function I have ever owned! The video feature is also wonderful, I didn't think I'd have much use for it but I have found it much fun to use! With the ease of a button, you can begin a video and at any point click back into picture mode. So, overall the D90 being at the higher end of an ameteur spectrum is a respectable camera that produces professional results, and is a solid, quality product. I highly recommend this product to aspring pros and amateurs alike! PS- The price is right too!

I love that this camera does video! I have wanted that feature for a long time! Now I just have to figure out how to work all of the features!

camera is good I wasn't expected to be so professional. which is not in compare with my other cameras. but if you are looking for a semi-pro camera with most possible professional features I offer this one.

I bought this camera used with the 18-105 Nikkor lens for $675. Since this camera is discontinued, it is not worth as much any more. Finding decent cameras like this for under $700 is really hard but well worth it. The only downside to this camera is video. It can only take 5 minute 720p videos at a time.

Great Camera,Takes awesome pictures, also acquired the of Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S ED VR II Nikkor Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon DX-Format Digital SLR Camera.

My first DSLR. Bought just a fortnight back. Despite the lower priced and supposedly advanced DSLRs available from Canon and Sony, this camera beats them hands down on image quality and the sensor size. No wonder its the most used and popular camera model on flickr. Some may argue that it doesn't have a higher megapixel like its counterparts from canon or the higher video quality or even swivel live view, but the fact of the matter is, it takes better pictures which is the most important factor in my opinion. In addition, it is a sturdy camera, with great ergonomics and very efficiently designed back panel. It provides a great amount of control on almost every aspect of photography, thereby making it a great choice for anybody in any stage of learning photography- amateur, semi pro or even a full fledged photographer.You may be tempted to go for competing cameras at lower price but this one is definitely worth the price. A perfect blend of engineering and efficient design.Will post updates as I use it more.Edit - April 9 2014Been using it for 2.5 years now and couldn't have been happier. A really wonderful camera. No issues whatsoever. I have used it a lot for all kinds of photography: nature, portrait, low light you name it. Battery still as good as day 1. Definitely recommended as a first DSLR if you are an serious about taking good pictures.

m3ET32TN9WDZAZ / 30540271 Length:: 9:06 MinsIt is an amazing camera by Nikon, expecially for amateur and enthusiast level photographers. The feature list is fantastic, plus the fact that it has the sensor of similar quality as the professional grade D300 model, and of course how can you forget the HD video capabilities? The sensor is highly rated for amazing dynamic range and color depth (the blues and greens are dreamingly rich, see my images in the customer images section). Please watch the video for a comparison with Rebel XSi that I owned before this one.[+++++]:- Great sensor, amazing colors out of the camera- Auto D-lighting to restore shadowed regions- Feels great in hand, very comfortable to hold... lighter than a Canon 40d/50d.- The optical viewfinder is bright and big, with great coverage- AF tracking points are easy to spot and switch to- Great 320K dots LCD- Video feature is great.. you can make some really slick short movies after some practice. It is a bit difficult to master both autofocus and zoom and exposure control in video mode, but I guarantee you a huge share of fun with it.. especially with DOF tests:-)[-----]- My copy of the camera came with one big bright hot pixel that was ON even at low ISOs like 200 and at fast shutter speeds. I was just about to learn to ignore it by using the software to map it out, and 2 more developed within a week of normal usage. Not good for a $1K camera right out of the box. I searched online and found many many others with the same issue. Further, you will have to pay at least one way shipping to a Nikon service center to have them mapped out, and yet they say it may develop more with time. I dont understand why a brand new camera has this issue. And its not just my copy, you can search "Nikon D90 + hot pixels" and you will find many many recent posts on this topic.- The live view is just a gimmick. It doesnt stand in front of the implementation in a cheaper Canon XSI even. It lacks exposure simulation (the mode which brightens or darkens the LCD view based upon live shot setting changes like ISO/aperture/exposure time etc.). Further, it only goes as high as 6.7X while the XSi and 40D/50D go upto 10X zoom. To add to that, D90 seems to extrapolate the live view image at high zooms from a lower resolution image... showing bad interpolation artifacts like blocks at 6.7X zoom. You have to see it to believe it. Try a Rebel XSi and a D90 live view, and you will know what I mean. Also, there is no exposure scale overlay on the live view image to guide the user whether the shot is under/over exposed. You will have to switch to optical view finder to confirm the shot exposure level. All this renders the live view practically useless for anything but framing a snapshot or a video. In fact it should have been called an LCD view finder and not the live view, which it is not. D90 also only has one auto focus mode in live view which is contrast based, and too slow. Even 40d has a fast phase detect mode. Also, the D90 LCD refreshes only 15 frames per sec while a 40d/50d refreshes at 30 fps - better for sports. If you wear glasses and are hoping this live view will help you take pictures without having to goto the top LCD or the optical view finder, you will be shocked. Having owned an XSi and tried a Canon 50d, I can say with confidence that Nikon really has to improve their live view, or at least stop calling it that. I have let the Nikon customer support know of the interpolation issue at least, and they say it may come as a model update later, probably not an easy firmware update. But their answer was not clear. It took many emails just to explain the problem.- The zoom (+/-) buttons are for the left hand. They may have been like this for most of the Nikons, but coming from Canon, it was a big discomfort to me to first switch the camera weight to the right hand, then move my left hand to use the buttons to the left of the LCD, then switch the hands back. This can be a pain if you have a heavy lens (like 70-300mm VR) and don't have a tripod.- The pixel depth is only 12-bit as compared to 14-bit in a Rebel XSi or a Canon 40d. This is not that obvious, and it is actually surprising that D90 produces great colors for a shorter pixel depth.- The video mode can possibly age your sensor quicker than it should. Because of prolonged exposures (upto 5 minutes in HD mode), the sensor may develop more hot pixels over time than usual. It is also hard to lock exposure while in video.. else there are jerks when the auto-exposure-compensation mode jumps in as the scene brightness changes.In conclusion,- if you can live with a sensor that may come with hot pixels, or may develop more sooner than expected,- if you don't mind using both hands to manage controls while also holding a heavy lens,- if you don't use live view at all and will only use the optical view finder, and- if you have about $1200 to spare (as of Jan 12 2009), and a few hundred more down the line for expensive Nikko

Reseached extensively and thought long and hard about what to get as an upgrade to my Nikon P90. Came down to the D90, the D7000 or the Canon t2i. The Canon had a good set of features but felt lightweight and plastic-y in person. The D7000 is a beauty but, at $1,500, was more than I was willing to pay for an upgrade. The D90 offered the best overall package at a decent price, $920. Auto mode is as easy as any other camera, video is OK, better than what I expected given some of the negative comments I have seen on here. Video is a bonus in this camera anyway and is not a reason to buy. The photo quality is terrific, great depth and clarity. Seems like a camera you can keep for the long haul and not outgrow, lots to learn and play with. The D90 has heft and is kind of heavy but feels like a tank compared with some others. Keeping my fingers crossed about the much talked about lens connection error message problems.Camera was ordered on 1/23/2011 and arrived from J & R Music and Computer on 1/25/2011. No complaints there although you cannot track the package with J & R, which can be a little disconcerting with a first time experience. The Amazon price was $130 less for the same camera on sale at the well-known big box retailer. With free shipping, how can you not buy here?6-8-2012 UPDATEThis is a serious camera and it takes great pictures. I will be learning it's features forever, no doubt. After a couple of months of shooting in all modes, I noticed that dead pixels appeared in higher ISO photos in the same spot on the images. Tried numerous "fixes" I found on the internet, but none worked. These dead pixels became increasingly annoying to me since this was a new camera. So, I dropped the camera off at Precision Camera in Connecticut, an authorized Nikon dealer, for a pixel fix while still under warranty. Camera came back about a week later from the Texas facility with the same pixel issue, as if it were never remapped or repaired. This is not an issue at lower ISO speeds and they are easily fixed in Picassa or Photoshop; they are just annoying. More should be expected from a product with the Nikon name, especially after being repaired. If I had it to do again, I would return the camera earlier and not bother with trying to repair it. But I get a lot of compliments on the photos I take and the D90 is sturdy and fun to use.

i have had this camera almost 2 years and it has been very good to me. recently added the d800 to my collection but still keep this one on hand for an extra body. over 27,000 actuations with the shutter and still going stong as it is rated til 90,000 i believe. only wear and tear showing is the rubber grip on the back is peeling off.

After researching different cameras offered by Canon and Nikon, I chose the D90. It's proven to be an excellent choice. I bundled it with the 18-105 instead of the smaller lens it comes with. The wide angle lens provides opportunities for some amazing landscape shots. The camera is full of features, one better than the other. Every button is where it should be. The continuous shooting mode on this camera is amazing. There is no comparison with the much more expensive cameras for a frame or two more per second. It's proven to be an excellent motorsport and airshow camera to say the least!

I just bought a used D90. I had some decent lenses already.I love this camera. I think a very motivated beginner could take this on as their second, maybe first, camera. I also bought D90 for Dummies.There are some weird things that are hard to figure out.1) The message when you don't have a card in is cryptic. I had to look in the book and/or google to figure out what the message was referring to. Try your camera with card in and card out so you see this message and recognize it the next time.2) With some lenses, the lens must be down to its smallest aperture before you attach it to the camera. failing to do this gives you a flashing "fEE" message that is not mentioned in the Dummies book, as far as I can tell.

There are plenty of reviews out there, and I don't want to be redundant. So here are some helpful points that I had a hard time ferreting out when doing my research before pulling the trigger on this purchase, given that I was upgrading from a D60 and that I am, like many who are reading reviews on this product, not a professional:1. I owned the D40, then the D60. So this is my third Nikon. I had trouble deciphering how my lenses, purchased for the D40/D60, would behave when used in this new model. The answer is that the D90 handles all of them perfectly. This includes lenses that have the HSM built in (the Hyper Sonic Motor is packaged in the lens, because the D40/D60 range doesn't have a built in auto-focus motor) as well as those with no internal motor. The D90 has an internal focus motor, so all lenses built for Nikon cameras will auto-focus, including the Nikon 50mm f1.8 lens that I had to manually focus in the D60.2. The D90 is heavier, but certainly not uncomfortable to hold or carry. Weight will not be a discouraging factor in purchasing this camera.3. The D90 takes different batteries, so any spares you have for the earlier models will not work on it. Battery life is truly outstanding. I am not even going to buy a spare battery.4. The user interface is completely different from the D40/D60. I found it intuitive however. The functionality is just superb, much easier and more flexible. This is a pro level camera with the ease of use of a high end amateur camera.5. Live view is a great enhancement. Really.Overall, there is nothing I can say negative about the D90. It's everything I was hoping it would be, and it's so worth the money to upgrade. I'm selling the D60 for half what I paid - and doing it gladly - because the D90 is worth more than it's being sold for. I absolutely highly recommend it.I also thought I would offer some lens advice, because I had trouble finding a reviewer that just cut to the chase and said "look, just do this." So, look, just do this: I do NOT recommend the kit lenses that you can obtain bundled with the D90. Get the body only, and buy yourself that Nikon 50mm f1.8 (Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras). It's a no-brainer at the price point, and the images I have already achieved have been just excellent. For the rest of your lenses, I highly recommend Sigma. I own the 18-200 (Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras), the 10-20 (Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras), and the 150-500 (Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 AF APO DG OS HSM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras). I cannot say enough positive things about the quality of the lenses or the images. Pack the 50mm and the 18-200 superlens for normal occasions. If you can stand the extra weight, you absolutely cannot go wrong with the 10-20 for landscapes, it just pulls in everything and the quality is shocking. The 150-500 is enormous, you are not going to want to carry that thing around, but when you need it, you really need it. I captured images of my son playing in a soccer game that blew me away; could not have gotten the shots without the big lens. Get the lenses in the order I have specified if you cannot afford them all.I have just learned all this over the past 2 years. I am no expert but I have discovered the joy of capturing great images that you just cannot get from a point-and-shoot. I think once you see the quality you can achieve with a better camera, you will be thrilled with the decision to spend the money and the energy. And Nikon has truly produced the best camera at this price point in the world. It's a pro camera with an amateur price and it's very easy to use. Words really don't do it justice; you need to experience it to understand.Any questions, please send me a comment. Happy to help!Update - 16 Jul 2009:I have now taken well over 4,000 images with the D90 and can confirm that it's still all I had hoped it would be. Every time I think of something I wish I could adjust, I find that the D90 has the adjustment capability in the menu somewhere. The active D-lighting is spectacular. The noiseless photos in low-light conditions have blown me away. I don't see myself upgrading from this camera for a very long time. My technique for most situations has become as follows: snap a few images using the Auto settings. Then switch to full manual and start playing with the depth of field by adjusting ISO, aperture, and shutter speed to fit the situation. Half the time, the Auto photos are so good that I can't do much to top them in manual mode!Update - 20 Jan 2010:Over 10,000 photos taken with my D90. No new lenses purchased since last update. I have yet to find a situation the D90 cannot handle deftly. Over Christmas, I took a family photo of my wife's entire extended family, over 40 people involved. It was indoors, at night, with only weak overhead lights and the lights from the Christmas tree behind the group. I used an ISO of

First off I am a professional photographer and I make my living solely from photography and I have to say this is my favorite camera. I know most people will be like ok if he uses a d90 he must no be a professional it's not a professional body but that's crap. Your picture's are what matter's and my client's could care less if I use a D3 or a point and shoot as long as there image's look great. And this body allows me to capture fantastic image's with great quality in any light. I have used a lot of camera's Nikon d40x, nikon d60, nikon d80, nikon d300, canon 30d, canon 40d, canon 7d, canon eos 1d, canon 1d mark 3, canon 5d mark 2 and I can seriously say I like the d90 the best the only two problems with this camera are that the video sucks and canon cameras with video are much better and that the auto focus even though it is fast is short of a pro auto focus system like the d300 and canon 1d or canon 1d mark 3. This is not really a problem for most people and most shooting situation's except sport's. I shoot sport's all the time for publication's and to sell and I can say that even with a pro lens like an 80-200 2.8 or a 300mm 2.8 or f 4 it can be hard to keep up with the action. Not to say I dont get great sport shot's with it I do but there is a really night and da difference when you use this compared to a pro auto focus system. If it was not for the autofocus I would never need to use another camera. I don't mind the grain of higher iso's like 3200 and even at high 1 or 6400 it dosent bother me to much and if I am shooting black and white I love iso 6400 because it remind's me of shooting tmax 3200 if anyone remembers the days of film but I think it looks great I love the gritty feel. So all I can say is unless you are buying this for a video feature or to shoot sport's full time on a professional level buy this camera it doesn't matter if your completely new to camera's or photography or a professional this camera will suit the needs of just about everyone. Dont even consider the d300 or the d300s unless you shoot sport's all the time. If you want a camera better than the d 90 go to the d700 or the d3 I wouldnt bother with the d300 it's the d90 with weather seals a heavy metal body but again the auto focus is good for sport's that's it's only advantage because guess what the metal body dosent impress me why I try and take care of my camera's but I have dropped, hit, knocked over, shot in the rain shot on the beach in sand and wind, shot in sub zero temperature's for exteneded period's of time I mean most of a day with no problem's, in the middle of snow storms all of that with my d80 or d90 and they both no only preformed great before during and after those situations there both still in great condition. I dont need a heavy metal body to tote around none want's to carry around more weight than they have to and the weather seals do help you dont need them if your carefully. If it rains cover your camera with your shirt or a bag if it gets wet wipe it off when your done let it dry out by a heater and it will be fine just dont get it completely soaked. Dont let people fool you you dont need alot of the crap camera company's or most company's try to sell you to make more money off of you. Buy this body invest in good lenses that is where your money is well spent and worry about taking pictures not you camera shoot in the snow and the rain and hell if your camera breaks you can get it fixed or buy a new d90 and still have paid less for 2 cameras than you would to get a d300.

I started photography with my Vivitar(SLR) 3800N manual(7 years back), later spent some time with Canon S2 IS(point & shoot) but once the Canon got the black screen of death wanted to get some serious equipment.My requirements were -1. 10+ Megapixel CMOS imaging Censor. I don't print pictures too often but do so occasionally.2. I wanted to get two lenses(with VR/IS option), one in the 70-100 mm range(daily use) and the other in the 100-450 mm range(wildlife/birds).3. Low noise images even at higher ISO(1600+).4. Built-in image sensor cleaning ability.5. Easily accessible dials and buttons with which I can change the settings quickly without going into the menu every now and then.6. Fast autofocus even in low light conditions. At the end of the day, manual focus can be a real pain for a good number of scenarios.7. Fast continuous shooting mode with the ability to shoot 4+FPS.8. All the above including the two lens within $1500.9. Live view was not a must have but a good to have feature.Because of the bad experience with Canon I was pretty much predetermined to go with Nikon. D300 was pretty much out of my budget range so D90 was the only option if not D5000. I went through numerous review's and all suggested that D90 is packed with about 80% of D300 features. The only thing I was worried about is the D90 HOT PIXEL's issue, but I was well aware that the issue was not limited to D90 only, several other DSLR's including Canon DSLR's have those issues.I finally ordered my D90(with kit lens) in Nov'09 and have used it for two major trips so far, the results were awesome. The lenses used were the kit lens 18-105mm VR and the 70-300mm VR.Pros -1. Low noise even at higher ISO(1600+)2. Excellent image quality with vibrant colors. I usually shoot at +1/+2 saturation.3. White balance is an excellent feature if exploited properly.4. Exposure is handled quite well if switched properly between Matrix, Center weighted and Spot metering.5. 3-inch LCD monitor, you would appreciate the results right after you have captured them.6. The viewfinder is bright and easy on the eyes. You can go shooting without the live view for hours.7. You gotta live with the fact that the kit lens ain't a prime lens but can produce some stunning results.8. Auto D lighting is a pretty cool feature.9. Overall a camera with exceptional customization provisions to take your creativity to the next level if you understand the basics.Cons-1. Live view really needs improvement. By the time it focuses the subject will be gone. If u turn live view on and give the camera to a novice to take your snap both the camera and novice will be in trouble. Canon 50D does a far better job.2. No autofocus while capturing video's is primitive. If there is a model with no video and a few dollars cheaper I would have chosen that.3. Even with a Sandisk class 10 SD card(30mbps transfer rate) I really couldn't get 4.5 FPS beyond a certain number of shots.Final Package bought-1. Nikon D90 with 18-105mm VR kit lens.2. Nikon 70-300mm VR.3. 2*Tiffen 67mm UV Protection Filter.4. SanDisk 16GB Extreme - SDHC Class 10 High Performance memory card.5. One extra EN-EL3E 2000mAh Li-ion Battery .6. Lowepro Flipside 300 backpack.Hope my review will help others in determining whether D90 suits them. Can check some of my sample pictures @ http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/customer-gallery/AZQYZRD46DCC9

Several months before the D90 came out, I bought a D60 to hold me over until the D90 was released. Well, I've enjoyed using both cameras, but this one is a huge step up and more suited to an advanced enthusiast, like me. It's a real pleasure to use.ERGONOMICS - The D90 is solid, tight, and well-balanced with the 18-105 VR lens. It's always ready and it shoots very fast. I love all the direct access buttons; they're easy to press, with good tactile feedback. And since you're not going into the menus as much, you can work faster. It's heavier than the D60, but that's OK. It's still very manageable to carry around and it fits my average-sized hand better too. The shutter sounds different than the D60 (if that matters to you). It sounds more like a professional camera; more like a fast "whoosh" than a "click-click". And there are so many internal customizations that you can set it up exactly as you want.LENS - Biggest surprise was the 18-105 VR lens which I expected would be ho-hum, but turned out to be pretty sharp and clear. Better results than the 18-55 VR. We've really come a long way from the days (30 years ago) when you were cautioned to ALWAYS to buy a prime lens, NEVER the kit lens because of it's poor image quality. With computer-aided design and new technology, that's not true anymore.IMAGE QUALITY - I shoot RAW for maximum detail and the ability to adjust settings afterward if necessary - like exposure or white balance. Image quality is very good to excellent depending on your RAW converter. To my eye, best results are obtained with View NX/Capture NX, but Adobe ACR/Lightroom still do a very good job (2010 UPDATE; After using Lightroom the past year, raw conversions are beautiful and far quicker to achieve than Capture NX). When shooting JPGs using the Standard Picture Mode, images are sharp and colors are true, without over-saturation. You can always use different Picture Modes and customize any of them to get closer to the in-camera results you want. For example, you can boost saturation and contrast and save the setting as your default if that's what you like.LIGHT METER - Metering is fine and seems to be quite accurate in most cases. I use matrix metering mostly. As with any camera, you have to get to know the meter. If I had to be VERY critical, I'd say when it's pushed, it's more likely to preserve shadows than highlights, usually when Active DLighting is on. To me that's a good thing. Another website mentioned a slightly "over-enthusiatic" meter in its review. The good news is: if you really feel exposure results are not to your liking (whether over or under exposed), the meter is fine-tuneable, so go ahead and customize it as you see fit. I would just work with the meter first -get to know the camera and adapt yourself to it before you start making any adjustments. That said, I've used the D90 in a very wide range of lighting conditions and I can truly say that while exposures may vary occasionally, they've always made perfect sense for the situation. I've never been shocked or puzzled by the output.LIVE VIEW - is great for the occasional high or low shot. I didn't think would need it, but when I had the D60, I found myself in many situations where I really could have used it. Unlike a point-and-shoot, focus is slower in this mode and shooting seems somewhat clunky. I wouldn't use Live View if I were in a rush or trying to get an important shot. It's just a nice little extra.MOVIE MODE - this is a nice novelty and may be handy in a rare moment, but I'm generally not a video camera person. I'm surprised to read that some people have made movies and commercials with the D90. I keep promising myself to use this feature more, but I don't have a tripod and I'm just too jittery and uncreative to get good cinema-like results. Moreover, from the little I've tried it, I'm not impressed - there's no autofocus during filming and the movie comes out over exposed and far from HD quality. The user manual is not very helpful either. But I didn't purchase the camera for this feature, so I'm not disappointed.ISO - I really like the new wide range of ISO settings, especially when coupled with the Auto-ISO setting. Mine is customized to keep the camera at ISO 200, but kick in at 1/30. In this example, anytime lighting decreases enough for the shutter speed to drop below 1/30, the D90 will automatically compensate by raising the ISO high enough (up to an ISO limit you set) to help keep your shutter speed at 1/30. Once the ISO maxes-out at your limit, the camera has no choice but to start bringing down the shutter speed. Noise at high ISOs isn't an issue. In fact, you have to zoom in pretty close for it to be even slightly noticeable. I use Auto-ISO mostly all the time. Its an amazing feature! I only turn this feature off when I want to stick to a particular ISO at all times (if its on a monopod or I've stabilized the camera in some way).ACTIVE D-LIGHTING - helps camera to preserve shadow and highlig

I use this camera about every weekend and sometimes during the week and I LOVE IT. Of course if I had the money I would either get the 700 or the D3X (I upgraded to this from a Canon 20D). Though this is an amazing camera, but is outdated compared to the D5100 which has higher MP (which is quite noticeable),a lower cost (due in part to not having an internal autofocus motor), and it does not have video capability. I have not used the video function on the camera because I find it absurd as buying a video camera with a feature to take photos....it makes zero sense. To reiterate what I said, yes it is a great camera, but not for the value and you'll be better off with some of Nikons other DSLR's.

I replaced a Canon 40D two years ago, with the Nikon D90 and it is awesome! I bought this camerea 9on Amazon) on 12/26/2009 and have been clicking away for two years.I had owned a few Canon's before and even had some L glass (a good Canon lens) but pictures of my toddlers were seldom in focus, unless using the f1.8 50mm "nifty fifty" lens, which is limited indoors, due to the crop factor and how far you have to stand back.After discovering kenrockwell.com, I bought into the notion that Nikon's autofocus was built for people, espically moving toddlers indoors.I bought the D90 and the 18-200mm lens (along with the F1.8 35mm prime lens for portraits and I got a comparable SB-600 flash kit to the one I had with Canon.I have become a much better photographer as a result. Nikon's autofocus and the DX family of lenses designed around the crop sensor camera is genius.Canon is great for point and shoot or still shots of mountains, but if you want to take pictures of kids, get a Nikon.

Durante muchos años me ha gustado la fotografía natural como pasatiempo, pero apenas ahora me animé a comprar una cámara SLR. Antes había usado cámaras compactas y he tenido algún contacto con cámaras DSLR de Canon, pero esta es mi primera DSLR propia. Por mucho es la cámara más recomendada para fotógrafos principiantes y aficionados, y en realidad que es una EXCELENTE cámara! yo la amo! La calidad del sensor acompañado de la increíble óptica hacen de esta cámara algo realmente asombroso. Aunque los menús son largos también son muy intuitivos. Algunas funciones resultan faciles de usar y ofrecen resultados increibles... Puedes incluso crear menús personalizados! Luego de revisar el manual, la cámara resulta realmente fácil de manejar... el resto lo hace el buen ojo y el gusto por buenas escenas. Además, por ser una de las cámaras más famosas y vendidas en su tipo, existen muchos cursos, foros y libros que guían el trabajo con la Nikon D90. También existe una buena gama de accesorios y juguetes para usar con tu Nikon D90.La construcción de la cámara es cómoda y luce hermosa, tiene muchísima presencia! El cuerpo con el lente que se incluye son algo más grandes y pesan un poco más que cámaras como la Canon EOS XS o la Nikon D3000, pero nada que no se pueda soportar.En cuanto a la calidad del video, considero que es muy buena... de cualquier manera, no la compré específicamente para grabar video, pero seguro esta funcionalidad es algo que agradeceré a pesar de no soportar Full HD.Esta es definitivamente una de las mejores compras que he hecho en mi vida!!! Si alguien desea dar un paso adelante en la fotografía aficionada, no lo dude, esta cámara es la respuesta... y realmente no es costosa.RECOMENDACIONES (si me lo permiten):Compleméntala con algunos accesorios. El control remoto es genial y de seguro resultará útil en cualquier momento. También hágase a una memoria de buena capacidad (16 GB mínimo) y a una batería adicional porque con esta cámara será inevitable querer disparar todo el tiempo. Procúrese un buen morral/maleta/bolso para la cámara y los lentes, porque a pesar de su construcción robusta es algo delicada y digna de proteger/cuidar. Tenga un buen kit de limpieza para la cámara y los lentes, ah! y un filtro para proteger los lentes. Por último, DISFRÚTELA !!!!!!!!! no le será difícil...

This is not a technical review of this camera. Instead, I will tell you why I bought it and my impressions after 1 1/2 years of use.I bought this camera as my introduction into the world of DSLR photography. I had fancied myself a decent pic taker with a regular point & shoot for years, but wanted to actually start taking "photographs".Well, during thousands of photos and multiple cross- and intercontinental trips, this camera has become my constant companion. I've found the build quality to be excellent. The kit lens I purchased (18-105mm f/3.5) was one of the reasons I chose the D90 and it hasn't disappointed. The only limitation I've found with this has been in low light situations, as I take pictures of kids or at family parties, etc. Certainly not a knock on the camera, but I've invested in a faster lens (Nikkor 55mm f/1.8) so that I don't have to rely on the flash anymore. So if you do a lot of this type of photography, keep in mind you will probably want another lens at some point.In all areas this camera has exceeded my expectations. After well over a year of devouring all types of information about digital photography, the only limitations to my personal photos when I go out with this camera are my own knowledge and creativity. I can't imagine an enthusiast-level photographer having anything but good things to say about this camera!
