I consider this camera a classic. It lets you take control over the parameters and then it gets out of your way. Ergonomics is great.The 12M sensor is large enough for most people's needs. The AF is fast and accurate (most of the time). Images have a certain vibrancy and class built-in. It makes ugly and messy objects look nice, what can I say.No wonder the price has increased since I bought it from Amazon.

I am a photographer and needed a new camera when my Canon died in the middle of a wedding shoot. Luckily I had a backup camera but I wanted another camera incase the same thing happened again for whatever reason. After reading reviews I purchased this camera and two new lenses. Since I purchased the camera I have read various forums on it.While others said they had error messages or issues with the lenses locking correctly, I have not had any of these issues. My lenses have been secure and I have not received any error messages. With most cameras I realize that the body is important but in reality it is the lens that makes the camera. Nikon has some of the best lenses so I invested in the D90. I love it. I haven't had any issues with it other than it being a little heavy at times. I attribute the heaviness to the weight of the lenses as well. I take this camera everywhere I go and it hasn't let me down yet.Few things to note:- GREAT Battery Life!- Great basic body (saves money... so you can spend the rest of the money on lenses)- Can be used professionally or for fun- Easy to use

I have had this camera for less than two years and it is now in to Nikon repair for the THIRD time for a F error message. I have missed so many great shots because it locks up and nothing seems to help. I have tried different lenses, taking lens on and off, adjusting autofocus to manual and then back, taking battery out and replacing etc etc. Each time it gets sent back with no explanantion and works for a while then back to error. I want my money back. I want a different camera. I want to get rid of it and find something that works!Sharon

The sort of camera Nikon have been making for decades - no frills, solidly built and great image quality for the money. Class-leading low-light performance still after nearly two years. All the big camera manufacturers have their high-end showcases, Nikon included, but stick a good lens on this mid-range dSLR including the stock VR which is a great piece of engineering too and you'll get great pictures with a little practice and no fuss.I moved up to this when my D40 finally surrendered to constant abuse (the screen was squished on a trip to a wedding), and having picked up a few lenses already I was basically committed to Nikon. Not a bad thing really - SLR market competition is so fierce that at comparable price points you'll get a superlative machine whichever of the two big makers you choose, and if you are cheap like me you'll consider third-party lenses which tend to be identical between body brands anyway.I also considered the cheaper, lighter D5000 whose guts are almost identical, but having picked up both in a store to play with the first thing I noticed apart from the weight difference is that the viewfinder on the D90 is far, far better than the D5000's (pentaprism vs. pentamirror). The D5000 is less solidly built and looks rather toy-like and awkward with its swivel screen, which is also smaller and lower-resolution than the D90's but I'd count that as minor. Those and the D90's focus motor, not to be underestimated if you are planning to buy more lenses especially older second hand ones, are the only significant differences between the two as far as I can tell. If you have the same dilemma all I can suggest is you pick em both up too and see what feels right. The ~4oz lower weight of the D5000 might do it for you in the other direction.One little niggle which has come up in other reviews too (I recall reading this on dpreview for instance) is that the metering does seem to have a tendency to overexpose and blow out highlights. Once I'd noticed it damaging a few shots I started notching exposure compensation down a little by default - the sensor has ample sensitivity at the dark end for this not to do much harm the other way usually. In low light conditions I ramp it up again.My only real caveat right now in recommending this camera would be that Nikon are almost certain to introduce a replacement sometime this year based on their past release cadence, so it may pay to wait and see and enjoy whatever camera you have meantime; not necessarily to buy the new one but perhaps to await a price drop. Mid-range has always been Nikon's sweet spot and this camera will serve you well for years. I know several people who are still chugging happily along with D70s on the same line.

Before getting this Nikon D90, we had only used the smaller point-and-shoot cameras and had never owned an SLR. Anyway, last summer we went on an Alaskan cruise and decided it was time to get something that would be a bit more responsive and take better pictures. After quite a bit of research, we got this camera body with the Nikkor 18-200mm lens.We have been completely blown away by the results!Aside from portability, this camera is better in every way than our smaller pocket digital camera. It focuses almost instantly, focuses in far worse lighting conditions, takes amazing pictures, and is very fast from shot to shot. When it comes to ease of use; the learning curve isn't that steep either - but it does take some time if you want to get the maximum benefit. One problem I've always had with the screen on point-and-shoot digital cameras is that watching anything on that little screen isn't the same as watching it in person; so I would often forgo taking pictures so I could enjoy the experience. This Nikon is more like watching through zoomable binoculars so it is far more enjoyable to take pictures.At one point in our cruise, we saw a pod of killer whales and I had been taking some great shots for about 20 minutes when another passenger with a point-and-shoot digital said "I finally got a tail out of the water!". Since the cruise we have also been getting great pictures from our kids' events (like sports games and band concerts) that we could never get before. This camera was well worth the investment.Unfortunately, only a month or so after getting the camera, it started giving an F-- error and wouldn't focus or take pictures unless the camera was turned off, the lens was removed and replaced, and the camera was turned back on. This happened pretty much every time we picked it up (which is a lot with 3 kids) and even got to the point where it would happen at random times while we were already using it.I finally called Nikon, expecting the worst, and they were very helpful. I mailed the camera to them and got it back completely fixed about 2 weeks later. The only cost to me was the postage to their repair facility (they paid the return postage). Nikon deserves 5 stars for their great customer service!Overall, I highly recommend this camera; and I think pretty much anyone could use and would benefit from having this SLR over a traditional point-and-shoot. I will admit that the smaller camera is still handy for keeping in my pocket when we're out doing stuff; but we use this Nikon D90 whenever possible.

I searched awhile for the perfect camera. I researched a Pentax K7 and it has a ton of good reviews too and is weather tight which was something I was interested in, but from a couple reviews I read, it seems like too complicated so I searched out other cameras. I looked into Canon, as well the Nikon D5000. The D5000 was my last choice up against the D90. I am soooo glad I paid the little bit of extra and went with the D90. There are so many more nice features, and one of my favorites is the info screen on the top deck, boy is this a nice feature to have. You get to see all your setting as well and manipulate them while viewing what you're doing. The pictures look amazing. The pictures look very professional! The other thing I love is the 3" screen with live view. The picture is so vivid and stunning, crisp and clear.The D90 is far superior to the D5000. The D5000 looks and feels a bit cheap next to the D90. I also love the hand grip, it fits right there in your hand so you get a nice solid grip on it.I am not by any means a camera pro, nor am I even a semi pro. Although the closest I came so far was having a Kodak Easy Share and this took great pictures but I wanted more. I wanted to have the pictures I see people taking of their kids and I want my pictures to be that great. So here I am with my own DSLR and I love it! Expensive? Yes but I got a great deal and got free shipping. (newegg).Sorry to say I bought elsewhere than from Amazon, although Amazon is my favorite place to shop.Be careful searching out cheaper places as some sell just the camera body with no lens.I had called Nikon and asked them if this camera would be too complicated for anewby, and they told me this is a great camera to start out with. You can set it on auto and shoot away and get terrific pictures, and learn as you go. Why start out on an entry level if you plan to do more later, you won't have to upgrade the body! I am learning new things every time I use the D90. get one, you will love it!

After reading recommendations here as well as heeding Ken Rockwell's advice, FINALLY, after several years of indecisiveness between the Nikon D80, D200 and D300, the D90 really stood out for price/performance - I made the plunge. I paired this D90 with the Nikon 18-200 mm lens and the Santechi LCD battery grip, as well as a Delkin silicone body skin and a B+W UV multi-coated filter as well as a Nikon SB-600 speedlight flash. Every part of the camera and lens is now fully protected. ( A slight bit of trimming on the Delkin skin was necessary, along the bottom of the skin, so I could put the LCD battery grip on. Delkin states you can't put a battery grip on with their skin. But if you trim a bit of the skin then it fits perfectly! So no worries there. Get the Delkin skin. It is well worth it!) As a complete unit, it functions beautifully. Speaking about just the camera here, it is ridiculously easy to use, very intuitive, a well thought out design, well balanced, with enough heft, yet light enough for all that it offers. The pictures rendered, and the bright, 3" LCD screen on the back of the camera makes it wonderful to use. The menus are thoughtfully laid out. As for the video mode, it works just fine with the Nikon 18-200 mm lens. Best used in video mode for fixed distance videoing. I vidoed my future son-in-law fishing waist deep in a local river. The video came out excellent. Remember, this is a camera first. Not a video cam. But having the video option is nice, as you have everything within one camera body. This camera is certainly worthy as a semi-pro entry; maybe even as a back-up camera to a Nikon D3 or D3X for a professional photographer. I think the D40 or the newer D5000 would be a better choice for light users who want a few more features than a simple point-and-shoot camera, but who have no intention of really delving into photography and learning all the terminology and techniques involved in lighting, exposure compensation, picture composition, etc. But, if you are serious about photography and want room to grow, or you are a photo enthusiast, semi-pro or pro, you would be hard pressed to find a camera with a better price/functionality point. I purchased my D90 through Amazon via J&R Music, as they had the best price and had the D90 in stock. I received the camera a day after the order was placed. In less than 2 weeks I had taken nearly 1700 shots. I have taken early dawn, early twilight, late night, portrait, nature, time exposures, double exposures, and sports photos in that time. It is nearly impossible to take a bad picture with this camera. It is easy and a pleasure to set up. Once you take the necessary time to learn the camera and all that it can do, you will understand what a joy it is to own this camera. I highly recommend visiting the KenRockwell.com site to become well-educated on photography in general as well as getting a crash course with a simple, no-nonsense approach regarding the workings of the D90 -- well beyond all the sometimes useless and verbose language the Nikon manual for the D90 employs.Bottom Line: The Nikon D90 is nearly impossible to beat right now for the price/function point. TIP: Invest in high quality lens/lenses as it/they will do more for you than the camera, as far as giving you quality pictures. Great pictures are more about proper lighting and exposure than the camera or the lens. Those things merely make it easier for getting that great shot. The photographer is responsible for the composition of the shot. Learn the proper way to compose and you will be well on your way to productive and enjoyable photography!

The Nikon D90, beat my expectations in a 150%. The video quality is amazing. Is a very usefull camera for night events. I recommend using the Nikkor 18-105mm lens with a 55-200mm lens. If you can afford for a 18-200mm lens, you'll have the greater experience taking a big variety of pictures.With the Nikon D90, photography is not just taking pictures, is an Art!

Right out of the box, this camera had all of the problems that everyone else has reported - the flashing F-- error (indicating that a lens isn't attached, even though it is), CHA error (tried three different authorized SDHC cards, and it had problems with all of them), and the random lock up with the flashing ERR message.The only solution was to remove the battery. Then I could take five more pics before it would crash again. No good.I wanted to get an exchange through Amazon, but they no longer carry the camera (after one week!), so I'll have to wait a couple months for it to be back in stock. Of course, at that point, I'm sure it will be cheaper since the new Nikons are slated to come out at the end of August - lose lose for me.Or I can get a refund, but then I'll have to spend more on the same camera somewhere else. I had already maxed out my budget to buy this one, so I can't really afford to spend more. I bought mine when everyone was having a sale on Nikons, and now no one has them on sale, so not only would I be out another $100 at least, there's still no guarantee that I won't have to go through all of this hassle again the next time. I wish I had bought from anyone else besides Amazon, as everyone else seems to still have it in stock!I called Nikon, and I'll have to pay shipping to send it to them, then wait at least 7-10 business days for service (their quoted *average* service time - who knows how long it will actually take), then have them ship it back to me (don't know if I have to pay for that or not, didn't say). So I'm out additional money, I STILL won't have a camera for at least two or three weeks of prime summer shooting season, and when I do, I'll just have to hope that they indeed fixed it properly (exchanging for a new one would make me feel a lot better than forever owning a known lemon).I was so excited to have this camera for the summer, but now I'm just sad and frustrated.The camera itself seems like it would be great if it worked. It seemed very sturdy, had a fantastic feature set, and took great images.It looks like my best option is to just return it to Amazon and buy the Canon T2i from someone else instead. :-(

I absolutely LOVED my Nikon D90. Unfortunately after having the same exact problems with two brand-new D90s within 4 short months, I opted to buy a Cannon this go-around. I originally "shopped around" and did my research for approximately 12 months before getting the D90. I read reviews, asked friends who also had digital SLR cameras their likes/dislikes, etc. Overwhelmingly the evidence pointed to the Nikon D90. I had a decent camera already, and for the price of the D90 I wanted to make sure that I was getting the "perfect" camera because I knew it would be a camera that I would have for a very long time.I purchased the camera in October 2009. LOVED IT IMMEDIATELY. However, after about 4-5 weeks of average use, I started getting error codes. I read the manual three different times trying to figure out what to do.First the top display would read & blink "err" - which is stated as a camera malfunction.Second and third times display said F - - which menas no lens attached. (There was one of course)The only way to remove the error messags and to get the camera working again is to remove and replace the battery. Even this didn't always work.So, I returned the camera to BestBuy (I had purchased the Black Tie warranty) and they replaced my camera with a BRAND NEW d90.Fortunately the camera worked wonderfully throughout the Christmas holidays and I was ecstatic that I did not have any error codes. However, when we had an extrememly rare "snow day" in January and I wanted to get some pictures with my kids, the camera just completely froze up. I had read about some issues with the SD card, so I switched out the high quality SD card and with a regular SD card that came out of my husband's little point-and-shoot camera. This seemd to work temporarily, but ultimately I kept getting the same error codes & messages that I got from the first camera.Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed. Especially since a friend has the exact same camera and has not had a single problem or error code. I was so disheartened with the idea of having to return yet again a second Nikon d90.My husband actually went to BestBuy to do the return and the staff there were wonderful. He was able to do an even exchange and picked out the Cannon Rebel EOS t2i. So far it takes great pictures, but I just LOVED the Nikon.I pains me to say that I would not recommend this camera, unless of course you purchase it from a store such as BestBuy that has a great return policy and/or warranty

I am assuming many reading this do not have an investment in SLR lenses from a particular brand and are looking at their first camera in the current DSLR world, or are upgrading their D40/50/60. I was starting from scratch was upgrading to an SLR for the speed, indoor/low light shooting options, and an improved external flash.I was torn between the Canon XSI, T1i, the Nikon D200 and the D90. I wanted the body to be less than $1000.The D200 is the grandpa camera to the D90 and passes on many features: the Pentaprism viewfinder, Multi-CAM1000 AF system, wireless flash operation, EN-EL3e battery, basic menu system and awsome Nikon build quality. Most of these features are enhanced for the D90, especially the CMOS censor (instead of CCD), color depth, movie mode, battery life, higher res screen, controls, high ISO performance and censor dust removal (to name a few). I was considering the D200 because of the weather seals, magnesium alloy body and the price on a recent BBY sale, $600 w/free shipping.Rebel XSI is a great value right now with live view good overall performance. The T1i has a higher res screen, digic 4 processing, movie mode and a few other features. Both have almost all the features that someone entering the DSLR field will be looking for. I would say the smart auto/preset modes really make these cameras easy to take good pictures.I really wanted 2 things in my new SLR, built in wireless flash commander for creative lighting of portraits with minimal extra equipment (like extra strobes, portable lights, etc), and the overall "feel" of the camera. If you handle the D90 and any Rebel, you will find there is an obvious feel difference. It is mostly weight, but also the feel of the plastic used is very different. Those interested in manual controls will like the D90/40D/50D/D200. There is nothing I can say "bad" about the Rebel series because the lighter weight will mean less fatigue if carrying the camera for an extended period of time. If this is important go to dpreview.com and compare the cameras you are interested in side-by-side and see the weight difference. After carrying the D90 around, I can say it is something you have to want to carry.Those familiar with these cameras will be quick to point out that the better comparison would be the Canon 40D/50D. However, I found the D90 for $700 body only and hence are unfairly comparing the "entry" level Rebel series to the Nikon D90. Price was important for my decision, so I went with the most camera for the buck, and I found that to be the D90.Compared to the 40D/50D the superior weather seals on the Canons and megapixel advantage on the 50D make it quite a good deal. If you have the money for the 40D/50D, then there is no blatant reason to get the D90 over the 40/50D besides needing an $200+ accessory for wireless flash, or the purchase of the 580EX flash. If the 40D had this built in, I probably would have that camera.More of my friends have a Canon than Nikon, so if lens sharing is a factor, then go with what your friends/family have. Also, if on a budget, be sure to save for quality lenses, flashes, and filters. An important point to remember is that your eye for composition will be the #1 instrument at your disposal.Many of the features showing up on modern DSLR cameras can be performed in photoshop or other software, like distortion correction, active D-lighting, color balancing, and adding a flash after the picture was taken. In camera abilities are simply a choice and for some, a preference. Many of the mentioned cameras offer some all, or even more software features.

As new grandparents, my wife and I wanted to take photos as wonderful as our granddaughter. :-) We quickly discovered we needed a camera that would negotiate very dim indoor lighting without having to use flash. My wife also wanted a camera that would also be easy to use: turn the dial to Auto/No Flash, zoom, focus, shoot. I wanted a camera I could customize in about every way possible. We considered the D700, but ruled it out because of size and weight, not to mention price. Then we looked at the D300 and ruled it out for similar reasons. While looking at the D300, however, we ran into the D90, a very lucky break indeed. As far as we could tell (and we're amateurs), the D90 blew away the D300 in very low light shooting. The results of the D90 are simply amazing no matter what the lighting. The camera is large enough to be comfortable in my hands and light enough my wife doesn't mind carrying it around. It's a surprisingly easy camera to figure out, especially with the help of a few Web sites and Nikon's lengthy D90 manual. The biggest surprise to me is that photos shot using Auto/No Flash are almost always better than photos shot with tweaked settings. We're shooting RAW, and straight out of Adobe PS3/4, the photos are ready to print. I'm sure we'll grow into this powerful camera and learn what wonders tweaking can accomplish, but it's great to be able to lean on the D90's intuition while we're in the process of developing our own. We did a LOT of research, comparing, and shopping to find the right camera, and the D90 is the perfect fit for us. I usually have second thoughts after a major purchase, but with the D90, my only regret is that I didn't find it earlier.I picked up Nikon's 24-85mm AF-S for peanuts on eBay, and it beats the kit lens hands down. I also picked up the Nikon AF-S 18-200mm VR that other reviewers have recommended; it's matches up superbly with the D90. My recommendation is to buy the body only and then match it up with a lens that best suits your needs. Amazon's price for the D90 is very competitive, plus Amazon makes exchanges easy if a problem turns up (true of other dealers? not so much). Same for whatever lens you buy--Amazon's prices are very competitive. Use eBay to pick up high quality Nikon clear filers to protect your lenses. eBay is also a cheap source for a backup battery. The battery that comes with the D90 recharges quickly and lasts a surprisingly long time on a full charge. Still, there's no reason not to have a charged backup.I must admit my wife and I went into the search for the right photos-of-granddaughter camera with misgivings. What we were after seemed to require a very expensive pro camera. Happily, we found the D90, an extraordinary camera that's both user friendly and capable far beyond our amateur needs. Even priced 50% higher, the D90 would be the best buy out there.

After selling my Olympus Evolt E500 8MP Digital SLR with 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 & 40-150mm f/3.5-4.5 Zuiko Lenses I wanted to upgrade to a better camera. Well, I found it!! The D90 doesn't seem to even let you take a bad picture. I am purely an amateur, but know a good picture when I see one. Immediately I noticed it was a good deal larger than the Olympus, and the manual was so much easier to understand. The Olympus sometimes just would not take a picture if the light was low no matter how many times you pushed the button, even on manual. It was so frustrating. This camera takes great shots even in low light.I also bought the Zeikos ZE-NBG90 Battery Power Grip for Nikon D80 & D90 to go with this camera so I would have plenty of battery life. This accessory does make the camera a lot bulkier, but I think it's worth it. I also bought an extra battery to have that gets stored in the grip and ready for when needed.I am still learning the ins and outs of this camera and trying to accustom myself to all of the things it can do. But, even if I left it in auto mode it takes outstanding pictures. I can't wait to try it for my kids' soccer games to see how the speed compares to the Olympus. I have the Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras on order and can't wait to try it on the D90!! Luckily the D90 has it's own built in motor so almost any lens will work with it...which is a plus!I highly recommend this camera to anyone, from the novice to the expert.

The Nikon D90 was my first DSLR and my first foray into the world of "serious" photography. If possible go see this camera im person, somewhere you can hold it and maybe take a few sample pictures and then check out the competition. When I did that the comparable canons both felt cheaper in comparison, much the same with the D3100 and D5000. The more expensive replacement for the D90, the D7000, was the closes match but with so many buttons scattered across its body its a lot more imposing to a newcomer.The D90 has just about anything you could ask for in a DSLR. Nikon hasn't been caught up in the megapixel race and has instead made a wonderful camera with great low-light performance, compatibility with all of Nikons lenses, amazing ergonomics and a feature set that will take you from amateur to connoisseur.

Ordered my Nikon D90 in December 2009 and got it in a little over a week. Received it with no problems. I have shot maybe a little more than a thousand photos with it and it is sweet. I have 2 Nikon 35mm slrs and used them for many, many years. I bought many optics for them as well as many accessories (ext tubes etc.). I wanted a dslr that I could use many, if not all, of the accessories I already had. The D90 fills the bill. The camera came with the 18-105 lens. All my photos are sharp and clear. If any are blurry it's my fault not the camera's or the lens fault. I ordered a 8 gig transcend sd card with the camera and have not had any issues with it. Later I saw a Lexar 4 gig sd card on sale and it has worked well also. I haven't tried the high speed sd cards yet. Maybe later. These work and work well so why spend more money? After reading many of the reviews, I must admit, I was a little fearful that I would have problems. So far nothing. No error messages, no nothing. It works and keeps on working. In cold weather and not so cold ( I live in so cal and have shot in the snow in the mountains and in the 80's in my back yard, yes and it's not summer yet). The camera has a learning curve. It has many options and it takes a while to learn how to use them. It can be used as a point and shot camera but only if you set it up that way. Learn to use it and use it correctly and it can be a valuable tool. I'm still learning. As far as the lens goes I have no complaints. It's sharp (for my purposes)and as far as the plastic lens mount is concerned, no worries. I'm not a pro. I use my camera maybe 5 or 6 times a week. 95% of the time I leave the lens on. The range of the lens is the one used for most of my pictures (family, vacation etc). I have a 600mm mirror, a 105mm nikor that I use sometimes. These lenses are the ones for my 35mm Nikons. They work on the D90 in manual mode. So I'm not changing the lens every 5 minutes. I don't think the plastic lens mount will be a factor. This camera isn't cheap. I works well and I'm happy with it. If you have some Nikon equip in 35mm and don't want to spend more, this is the camera for you. If you want a good prosumer camera this could be the camera for you. Check out the Canons and the others and if possible hold them and use them. See how they feel in your hands and look through the view finder. They're all good. Buy the one fits you.

I wanted to upgrade from my Nikon D40 but didn't want to spend a ton of money on a D300s or even the new D7000. So I bought the D90 and have been very happy with it. It is much easier to access features on this camera over the D40, making the D90 more user friendly. Picture quality is very good and I've been pleased with the camera overall.The only negative of this camera is that there is a memory card/card reader problem. There is an error that will appear randomly and if you do a search you will discover that the D90 has trouble with reading/writing to the memory card. Sometimes it's an intermittent problem. Sometimes it requires the camera to be serviced. Sometimes it seems to be an issue where the D90 doesn't like certain brands of SD cards. There is no clear consensus as to what exactly is wrong but the fact is a fair number of D90 users report memory card errors. I've had this issue once. The camera, just a few months old, wouldn't take a picture and "CHA" was displayed as an error message. I turned the camera off and removed the memory card, reinserted the memory card and powered the D90 back up and it worked fine. Hope this isn't a continuing issue. Other than that the camera is great!

I've been using this camera for a year, and I'm very satisfied. What more can I say that hasn't already been said in the reviews, but simply, that this camera takes beautiful photos. I'm very pleased with the design and quality of the D90.

I bought this in 2009 and have been using it extensively. It is a brilliant camera. The new D7000 may be slightly better, but it is also more expensive. The build quality, the features, the ease of use is all perfect. I wouldnt recommend the 18-105mm lens though. Its no good except for the most well light situations. Its terrible for using indoors. I rarely use it nowadays since I got the 35f1.8 lens. I hindsight I would either have got the 18-200 or 55-300 as a telephoto lens and used the 35mm for normal use. If I had more money, the obvious choice is the 70-200. But D90 itself is flawless and meets all my requirements as a photography enthusiast. unlike the over-priced prosumer cameras, It doesnt leave you wanting for more nor do you terribly miss most of the features in a D700 or a D3X (never used either of them though).

Its my first DSLR, when I decided to pursue photography as an amatuer and i didnt quite know what to expect. I have had it for 2 years now. I can say, because of how good this camera is, I am totally hooked onto photography. Its just very difficult to take bad pictures with this camera even if you try. ALl you have to do is dont use the onboard flash. All the funtions are placed logically and after couple of months of playing with it, its very easy to figure out where all the functions are. Nikon is known for DSLRs anyway. The build quality is very good for the price point. I bought mine for 1400 with a 18-105 mm lens in the package. The only downside, not with the camera but with Nikon is that they charge you a ton of money for softwares that can edit RAW files, Camera Control etc. I hear Nikon released their latest upgrade D7000 at this price point. I think if you are starting of into photography, get the D90. A good camera that takes good pictures 2 years ago still takes good pictures now. With D7000 out, D90s will become a great bargain and so much more worth the money now. And you can invest those savings in buying some good lenses.

This camera is an upgrade for me from the D70. The D70 was a good camera however; the D90 is a great camera. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and it takes great pictures. I've taken well over a 1000 photos to date. I also brought the SB-900 flash to go with the camera and the two combine work superbly. The thermal overload protection on SB-900 is annoying but that's for a different review. Back to the D-90...I currently have not nor do I in the near future plan to use this camera for video so I cannot comment on the video ability of this camera. I'm having too much fun with stills. There are a lot of value added features on this camera. The features I've used the most so far are Commander Mode, Automatic Bracketing and in some post production processes including the D-lighting, filter effects, color balance and image overlay on a some what regular basis. But you don't want to over do it. These processes eat up your battery. The best feature and a great tool for me is the ability to use the camera in the Commander Mode and control several flash units directly from the camera. I've used it with both SB-800 and SB-900 flash units and it works flawlessly. I also like the feel of the camera in my hands. I fits comfortably in my rather large hands and I can reach all the controls without twisting my fingers in knots. I am just using the Live View screen to view the camera setting. It certainly makes it easier to read than look at the readout on top of the camera especially in dim lighting.############## UPDATE ####################It's been eight weeks and I still find this an amazing camera.In addition to the feature listed above I also like best are the 3 inch high resolution screen where you can use "Live View" in lieu of sighting the shot through the view finder and the use of the "Info Button" to view the camera setting on the larger 3 inch screen. I also love the 11 point autofocus system that can follow the subject as it moves around keeping the subject in focus at all times. As a bonus it also has face recognition for which I find occasional use. But first, the 3 inch LCD screen has great resolution and is well suited to view the shot before or after it has been taken regardless of the environment. You can also call up histograms and other information about the photo you just took. The screen is also great for viewing the camera setting especially in situations where it is difficult to see on the traditional small monochrome LCD located on the top right hand corner of the camera. The camera information is transferred to the larger screen with the push of a single button, the "Info Button," making it much easy for these old eyes to view. The 11 point AF system in Dynamic mode is great for action pictures or in situations where you want the subject to be in focus at all times. Once locked on the subject it will follow until you recompose the shot.

I have had the camera now for about three months and I haven't taken a bad shot yet (slightly exagerated). The Nikon D90 if left on auto, would be the best point and shoot I have ever had but I am starting to learn what this camera is capable of when I become involved (AKA. Photographer). This camera is truly a painters palette waiting for the composer. The camera is also very intuitive and tries to cover my mistakes if I choose to let it. You can take as much or as little control as you are comfortable with. As a previous poster has mentioned, do not buy the kit, purchase the body only and add lenses separately. I borrowed a friends D90 with a kit lens to see if it was the camera for me, thank goodness he had another premium lens or I would have probably not bought the D90. With the kit lens it gives the camera a feel of cheapness and the picture quality is OK. I have added a Nikon prime 50mm f/1.8 and a Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8. Both have great glass and great response time (I highly reccommend them both). I also bought the kit lens 18-55mm 3.5($50.00 used from the friend I initially borrowed the D90 from), it has its uses.My day job is a quality engineer for a major aerospace company (space shuttle core component supplier), and I am very scrutinous of everything engineered. My opinion of construction quality is very favorable. I love the way the lenses snap into place with no slop. At first I was a little skeptical of the plastic body as opposed to the metal body of the D3 (which I have used). My night job is shooting youth sporting events for hours on end and the weight savings is sooooo apprecitated. I geuss what I am trying to get to is, do not evaluate this camera with a kit lens. I also recommend purchasing at least two (2) 4G cards with as high a write speed as possible. Not because the camera can't keep up but because your computer probably won't. This camera has a large buffer, so fire away.If you want a very well written opinon of this camera from a professional photographer, I recommend you visit Ken Rockwells web page [...] I do not know the gentleman, but when I was researching for this purchase I consumed all the information I could get and I made my determination after reading his review. I highly recommend his webpage for just practical information on all things photographic.In closing, I highly recommend the D90 camera body with quality lenses (so far Nikon (not kit) and Sigma, I like). If you thrive on validation and flattery, I also recommend this camera, because you will get a lot of attention much like Ashton Kucher on the Nikon commercial. I never tire of hearing "let me see, let me see". I would rate it third behind children and puppies as a chick magnet.

I bought this camera a less than a year ago and everything went more than perfect till three weeks ago when it started to show err in the display. The Nikon Service told me the repair costs around U$S 500. Very dissapointed.
