I was fortunate enough to get a Nikon D40 several years ago, which kicked off my photography hobbie. Originally I wanted a nicer camera to shoot for the family, and I knew Nikon was a reliable brand, and the D40's were very well priced. (It's how they hook ya!!!) A few photography courses later (and a couple photos published in international magazines!) I've been hooked on Nikon cameras. Last year I upgraded to the Nikon D90. I love taking pictures of animals and children and landscapes as this is how it all started for me. I wanted something that could keep up with my family and pets. A shutter with a high enough speed to catch that "one" moment. Some of the eye-catching qualities this D90 has, is a 3" color screen with a "live view". People who use some of their earlier models (such as the D40) are probably used to having to view through the lens to get their picture. Well, now you don't. In addition to that, you can also shoot video (more on that in a bit.) 12.3 megapixel DX format CMOS sensor, ISO 200-3200, image sensor cleaning, AF, and in-camera retouching. The camera is easy enough to use for a newbie, as you can set it to "Auto" (One of seven shooting modes) and literally just point and shoot and go about your merry way. The camera uses an SD card for memory, though Nikon warns that it should be of a couple certain brands or the camera may not accept it (After formatting the card through the camera, I have not had a problem using 'cheapie' SD cards with it, however). Being a Nikon DSLR, however, you can, of course, go through and set anything and everything up manually to your liking, for the more serious hobbyist or professional. The camera comes with a good quality lens, (18-105mm) a certain upgrade from the stock lens with the D40. (Though the lenses are interchangeable) I enjoy it's "sounds" compared to the D40, if that makes any sense haha! It's heavier and larger than the D40, which I appreciate as well. I am a firm believer that one shouldn't by hybrid products with the hopes or assumption that the product does both (or all) tasks as well as the individual product would be. (Ie, point and shoots should not be expected to be a good video camera, or vice versa) And many other digital cameras I have used have proven this over and over, however the D90 video camera is quite impressive. Videos are limited to 5 minutes in length and have to be done via the lcd screen. It shoots HD videos with great color and quality, however has no AF (Auto Focus)--the only negative I can really give. It's perfect for catching special, spontaneous moments, high enough quality to use to create your own short film, and even easy enough for the responsible kid to use for school projects or just for fun. All and all, the camera is great. Good, hardy build to it. I've trucked it around to our farm, taken photos in the rain, and it has survived all our kids and pets without fail. If you are wanting a DSLR and you haven't ever used one before, this one is easy enough to set, point, and shoot, and still come out with professional looking, breath taking photos. If you are a hobbyist, looking for something that does more than auto-set, this one has all the manual settings one could hope for. And if you're a pro? Well, I don't need to be telling you that you need this camera, because you already know!

Upgraded from a Nikon D70; this is a significantly better camera with many, many improved functions and capabilities. It's also much easier to download pictures from the camera to the computer as the computer recognized the D90 as a folder which allows drag and drop.Pictures are wonderful. Vendor was fast and efficient

I've used film SLRs for a long time and point and shoot digitals for a while but I never felt like I could afford to have my SLRs features in a digital format. Till I had a freelance graphics job that paid for this camera. I have played with some of the 5100s and 3100s and although they are fine cameras, they make it hard to change the basic settings for your camera (ISO especially.) This is one place the 90 shines - if you want to change a basic setting on the fly, you can do it without ever taking your eyes from the viewfinder. For me this means less interruptions and more agility.These are things that are very good when photographing moving scenes or different people scenes but not really needed for landscape photos. With landscapes you can set your hard to set settings once, and change everything else as needed. You really are paying for convenience and not image quality on the D90.Image quality (ISO based): at ISO 400 or less the image noise is wow level, 800 so so, anything more than 800 and it's &^%$: BUT I also despise noise and will trade loss of sharpness for lack of noise any day. The built in flash is good for emergency use but without handmade adjusters (to blur the light) it's way too close to the center line to give nice soft light pictures. I sometimes wrap a sheet of thin paper in a circle around the flash to soften it or even a piece of wax paper to increase the degree of diffuse. With a really heavy piece of material you can almost get a snoot effect.Batteries last a good long time, over 200 shots before I even noticed changes in the battery display, BUT I don't do 'auto-review' on the rear screen. The camera fits my hands pretty well, it's a little small for me but I have big clublike hands so you may not find it so small.I wish Nikon added an internal cover for changing the lenses (slide a lever it covers the lens hole, remove the lens, add another, pull the slide back) to reduce dust getting in, but this isn't top of the line so don't expect every gee whiz feature. I chose to get a body only and pick the lenses I wanted, but I had that experience with my film SLRs and didn't want to give it up. The package including 55-200 G VR lenses are probably best, add the 18-55 for crowd shots and go prime if you are in low light situations.Bottom line, if you know what you are doing, the D90 is a great camera, especially for portrait and fast moving subjects, just realize you are paying for those extra buttons, not better image,

This is my first DSLR, and I couldn't be happier. I read endlessly about different cameras before I decided on the D90. In the end it came down to the D90, and Canon's 50D, mostly due to their price points. Both are truely awesome and feature packed camera's. I loved the feel of the 50D, as I have pretty large hands. The 50D is about a half inch wider than the D90, and a slightly larger grip. The D90's grip is great as well, just a little smaller. Because of this, I purchased a battery grip along with the camera (Zeikos ZE-NBG90), and it feels great. (If you're wondering why I'm only talking about Nikon and Canon, it's because both companies have an extensive range of products for all skill levels, so plenty of room for me to upgrade bodies and lenses in the future. They are also both extensively used by professional photographers, so there must be something good about them.)A few things made me ultimately buy the Nikon D90.....First, the included kit lens. Nikon includes a 18-105mm VR lens, and Canon includes a 28-135mm IS lens. Both have Vibration Reduction/Image Stabilization, and both cost about the same if you bought them separately. On a crop frame camera (aps-c size), which both of these are, The 18-105mm is more usefull and versatile as an all purpose lens. I felt that it would serve better indoors, in smaller spaces, than the Canon lens would. For other beginers out there, on a crop frame camera you have to use a multiplier to figure out what the actual range is of a lense. For Nikon, it's 1.5, and for Canon, it's 1.6. So my Nikon 18-105 lens functions like a 27-157 on my D90 crop frame (18x1.5 , 105x1.5)The included lens on the Canon 50D is 28-135mm which, on the 50D, would function like a 45-216mm lens. This would be a great range for outdoor use, but I felt it didn't get wide enough for indoor use. This lens mounted on a full frame camera would be more appropriate (no multiplier). In Canon's defense, there are two other 50D kits available, one with a 17-85mm lens, and another with an 18-200mm lens. In my opinion, both lenses are inferior in quality to the 28-135, and they both are more expensive. The 17-85 kit was about $200 more, and the 18-200 kit was about $400 more. This made the 50D to expensive for me, especially when you could step up to the Canon 7D for $1500(body only) and $1900(with 28-135mm).Second are the number of buttons, and button placement. Everyone is different, and has different ideas about how cameras should be set up. For me, I like the idea of having more buttons on the outside, as the Nikon does when compared to Canon. If I have to go into a menu to get at a certain function, chances are, I'll forget I have that function. Being a beginner, I wanted as much in my face as possible to help me learn. This also makes for very fast adjustments for beginers and advanced photographers alike. As for button placement, the Nikon just felt more natural. Again, everyone is different.Lastly, I considered both Nikon's and Canon's full line of cameras. I do plan on upgrading in the future, so I looked at the upper end cameras as well. Whatever lenses I buy for my D90, I want them to work on whatever body I might upgrade to in the future (lenses are expensive!!!) I think I just liked Nikon's take on photography tools a little better. From styling to functionality, Nikon just seemed more... me. I may regret this, as Canon also makes outstanding products, and it seems like they have a lot more lenses, although I havn't actually counted. For now, I'm looking forward to a long relationship with Nikon, expecting that their more pricey camera bodies function as naturally and comfortably as the D90 does.I absolutely love the Nikon D90, and am very happy I bought it. I feel it's a great camera for beginers, and it'll grow with me as a photographer. I was able to create amazing images right out of the box. It's very easy to use. I sat on the couch with it that first night and just played with menus and settings, and learned my way around the camera very fast. I'd recomend the D90 to anyone, beginners and advanced amatures alike.I used cameralabs.com extensively before I decided on anything. Outstanding website with a lot of writen and video reviews on a great many cameras and lenses. Thanks Gordon!!A few tips if you buy the D90...*an 8g memory card will give you about 350 RAW+JPEG shots, or 1000+ JPEG shots*the D90 shoots video... barely. If you want to shoot video, buy a video camera.... seriously.*if you're going to shoot video, or are going to use live-view a lot, you NEED an extra battery.

I have used Nikon D90 as backup camera for several months. My impression is this is the ideal mid range DSLR camera. It is has most of the features you need, has great ergonomic and handling. But the most important of all is the excellent image quality especially in ISO 800 and above.Body and HandlingUnlike its main competitor Canon 40D, Nikon D90 is not built from magnesium alloy, but it is still very solid and sturdy. There is no rubber grip like Nikon D300 or Canon 40D either. But texturized plastic is not bad either.I feel the size of the camera is ideal for DSLR, it is not big, but not small. It fits in my hand like glove (I have average male hand). It is not heavy but substantial enough and well-balanced when you shoot low shutter speed without tripod or when you mount it with a heavy/long lens.Nikon D90 has two dials, one to set aperture, the other to set shutter speed or any other setting. Unlike Canon or other cameras handling, Nikon camera requires you to press and hold the button and at the same time dial the setting that you like. This might be annoying if you are not used to it. It is made so to avoid user changing setting accidentally.It also has four way controllers which function to change auto focus points or choosing options in the menu. D90 also has dedicated live view button to activated live view for either still photography or for movie recording. There is a dedicated info button to activate various important setting for the camera. By pressing the info button twice, you can view and change setting of some useful setting such as picture control, noise reduction setting, active d-lighting, assign function and AE-L/AF-L buttons.The function button can be assigned to many useful setting such as particular metering mode, ISO speed, central focus point, RAW+JPG and some others. The AE-L/AF-L buttons can be assigned to be AF-ON, AE lock only, AF lock only, and some others.D90's viewfinder is not the best because (95% coverage). But it is big enough for me to manual focus accurately in many situations.Least but not all, It has very good top LCD screen that shows a great deal of information: ISO, aperture, shutter speed, metering, picture quality, auto focus mode, battery, continuous shooting, white balance and also the current auto focus point position.The only complaint about handling and control is there is no dedicated button for ISO. The position of ISO button is too low in the bottom of the camera, thus making changing ISO is painful and slow.ISO and Auto ISOImage quality in high ISO is very good, but it is best to shoot at ISO 800 and below. The great image quality in high ISO is due to Nikon sensor and software that control the chroma/color noise out of the image. The noise in Nikon looks more natural compared to camera of other brand.What I like most is the Auto ISO limiter. You can effectively limit the ISO and minimum shutter speed. The Auto ISO works very well and accurate most of the time. My favorite way to use this is to set the camera to Auto ISO, and then use Aperture mode and let the camera adjust the rest for me.LCD ScreenIt is 3' LCD Screen with 920k res which is standard for mid range camera in the late 2008 and 2009 camera. It is very detailed and relatively good in bright light condition.MenuLike other Nikon cameras, I feel Nikon menu is pretty confusing because they throw all over items regardless if the item is popular item or not. Therefore, it might take you some time to find some of your favorite menu items. To be fair, Nikon has my menu tab, where you can choose and put the menu item in this tab. Overall, I feel menu could be improved. Canon cameras menu for example, is easier, more logical and simple to navigate.Auto Focus system & Continuous shooting speedNikon D90 has 11 AF points. Not the best compared to older brother D300, 51 AF points, but it has 3D tracking that is pretty accurate. The AF speed also depends on what kind of Nikon lens you use. Old Nikon lenses usually slower in AF, same as customer grade AF-S lens like 35mm AF-S f/1.8G lens.D90 has continuous shooting speed above the entry level camera (4.5 fps) but it is still not very ideal for sports photography or bird photography (6 fps or better).Creative Lighting System & Lens CompatibilityUnlike lower class Nikon cameras such as Nikon D3000 and Nikon D5000 or older models, Nikon D90 have built-in wireless commander/trigger for Nikon flash units. The CLS system is not perfect because it won't work in certain position and situation, for example in bright daylight, in a great distance, or if the line of sight to the flashes are blocked. But, CLS is fun to use and save you money. Nikon D90 also has built-in AF motor so it is compatible with older Nikon AF-D lenses which we often found in fixed focal length lenses / primes.Video ModeNikon D90 is the first DSLR that has video mode. It record 720p quality video. Although it is not as practical as camcorder, because you need to manual focus and it is hard t

I bought this camera a while ago when I was just starting out as a student at college and thinking about going into photography. It's been a fantastic camera, however it was a little overwhelming to me as a beginner. It's a lot to learn about a camera at once, but as I worked with it, it became easier to manipulate to get the pictures that I was trying to take. I really love the use of a manual zoom lens, but the 18-105mm lens can sometimes be a hassle because certain closer subjects for photos are hard to focus on. The photo quality is great and I love that I can save photos in raw as well as JPEG formats. The menus are easy to use and navigate. Overall, a very good camera.

The one small issue is that it is sometimes needs to turn on and off again to recognize the external flash however it is not a problem with the camera, the flash is a bit older and in need of replacing. Overall great camera for our needs!

I had initially ordered this camera from Amazon but it got lost in shipping. :( and Amazon did not have the camera in stock(they refunded me the complete amount). I had to order it from Adorama later( and i finally got it :D).I own this camera for a year now and haven't faced any major problems with it(except for a few dead pixels). AF is fast enough for panning but is not always effective for small and fast moving object like small birds/insect even if you try to cover the center af point. I usually prefer manual focusing in such conditions. I also have ML-L3 remote(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00007EDZG/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_title) which is useful at times! CLS works beautifully(i had a sb-600 prior to this purchase). Auto and Programmed auto are also very accurate and require very less post processing apart from denoising and removing the dead pixels :P

I've been using this camera for about 2 months now and I've been extremely happy with it so far. I traded up from a Sony DSLR-A230 and I've never once considered looking back. I'm not a professional photographer and I'm not loaded (lowly government employee) and I have no buyer's remorse in spending this amount of money on a camera. None whatsoever. Understandably it's going to be better than the Sony because it's a mid-range rather than an entry level, but it's astonishingly better.Camera body: Very solid and feels great in your hand. I don't have huge or small hands, and it feels just about right for me. Buttons are laid out properly and all within fingers reach without stretching. Aperture and shutter speed dials spin with just the right amount of resistance. Buttons have a firm press and an obvious detent for when they're activated. LCD display on top is great; it's customizable to what exactly you want it to display.Lens: I own the kit 18-105 lens (bought the body on sale and then the kit lens on eBay for $200 refurb... saved a little cash) and a 50mm F1.8 lens. VR works fairly well and will allow you to (give or take) shoot about 3 stops slower than you could normally hand hold. I can hand hold around 1/15 without too much blur. You can definitely hear it kicking in and DEFINITELY see it in the viewfinder. Kind of looks like you're drunk (the motions are slightly delayed and slowed). Picture quality with the kit lens is also fairly good but with a moderate amount of linear distortion at the extremes, most notably around 18mm. It's still somewhat correctable with post-processing, but it's worth noting. Around 24mm is where I've noticed the least distortion. Since it's an AF-S lens (meaning the focusing is done by a motor within the lens rather than the screw drive), autofocus is VERY quick. Much better than my 50mm lens that uses the screw drive.Rear LCD screen: Great great great. Extremely high resolution, to the tune of almost 4 times the pixels of the D80. More pixels means more accurate post-shot analysis. To relate, those of you who have upgraded from an iPhone 3G/3GS to the new iPhone 4, that's pretty close to the same difference in clarity on the screen. It's simply amazing.User interface: Very well laid out. Customizable menus as well as recently used items, quite handy. Nice little "help" button when scrolling through menus that you hold down and it explains what the item you've selected changes, great for beginners or new Nikon users. The GUI is setup the same as a D300S rather than the lower range cameras, so it's starting to err on the upper end of things rather than lower.Picture quality: Very good. It's highly dependent upon the lens you put on it and the focusing quality, though. The additional megapixels have a way of really highlighting any blurriness.. so I suppose it's a blessing and a curse. 12.3 is nothing compared to the ridiculous 18 you get on a Canon T2i though; it's getting to be ridiculous. The great thing about the D90 and the rest of the mid range and higher Nikons is that the lens selection is enormous. The ability to use regular AF (non AF-S) lenses is a huge advantage over the lower range models and something to really consider. As noted above, exposures at the extremes with the kit lens will have a fair amount of distortion.Altogether a great camera. It'll leave you plenty of room to grow if you're just starting out, unlike some other options out there. It's still advanced enough to be used by "power users" though, but it's not a pro camera.

I've forgotten to get around to writing this review, and figured that now was as good a time as any to write up a few notes on this camera.I purchased this camera from Nikon over 3 1/2 years ago, and since then have shot more than 35,000 images, and it still works as well as the day I pulled it out of the box.I did add the MB-D80, as I have very large hands, and also like having two batteries and a dedicated vertical hand-grip. The kit lens is awesome, not the fastest aperture in the world but the 18-105mm coverage allows it to work equally well in wide-angle through moderate telephoto.I've never had issues with it locking up or refusing to work with off-brand SD cards, and know that I will continue using this camera for years to come. I'm thinking about upgrading to a D7000, but this D90 is going to be staying in my bag forever.

Having owned and used 35mm Nikons for 30+ years, I decided to stay brand loyal in the transition to digital SLRs. My D-70 lasted through a three year extended warranty-then the Compact Flash connectors died and needed to be replaced. A year later, the shutter mechanism died. With two lenses apparently operational, I replaced the body with a D90. The lenses died shortly after, so I replaced them. A few months after the D90 was out of warranty, the through the viewfinder display died.My Nikon speedlight starting falling part after two or three uses.My 30 year old 35mms (Nikkormat and Nikon F Photomic) are still in use by my daughter-the Nikon digitals are cheap, poorly built cameras, almost disposable, at a hefty price.
