The nikon d90, a great camera. To be perfectly honest i'm not sure what i can add to the many glowing reviews of this terrific camera. I have used lots of cameras over the years from slr 35mm film, compact digital, bridge cameras and dslr's but the d90 is the best i have owned. What impresses me is that everything is where i want it to be. All the buttons for me are in the right place.
Things that on some cameras are hidden away in menus are accessed through dedicated buttons on the d90. If i want to change the iso it's very easy as there is a button which allows me to change without getting involved in the menu at all, it adds up to one fantastic camera. I like to take night shots and the lack of noise is an absolute dream, it really is that good. It also gives me confidence knowing that this is a very special piece of high quality engineering. The 3 inch high resolution screen is very effective and appears to be much better than most dslr's i have seen plus the handling and the 'feel' of the d90 for me is oh so right.
I bought this as a replacement for my five year old nikon d80 that i had given to my daughter. It's a very similar camera so few new tricks to learn. This model may be a little long in the tooth now but is a well proven design and the camera certainly ticks all my boxes. I very much like the larger lcd viewing screen.
The camera feels rugged and well built and as an extra bonus matches all my existing lenses and attachments. Speedy delivery and good packaging also helped greatly.

At the moment i have it partnered with a nikon 35mm prime which can achieve fabulous results. I believe this is a camera that can deliver great pictures if left in the auto mode and truly staggering images if you have the knowledge and imagination to go beyond the norm! an exceptional dslr and i highly recommend the nikon d90 without hesitation!.
I Upgraded From a D60 to the D90. The main reason i upgraded to the d90 was because i was in need of a more advanced camera with more advanced capabilitys and compatability. And that , if it is what you want , is what you get. I dont use the hd video feature because its just another nikon gimmick , but i suppose in the spare of the moment it could come in handy if you havent taken your video camera and want to take a video. The video sound quality is very good and clear , but with any camera video function will never be as good as a true video cameras quality. The cameras , camera functions are extremely easy to use and follow on from more consumer nikon models such as the d40/60 , just the d90 has more features. More autofocus points with a 3d tracking feature that workslive view mode that is easy to use and has a live zoom facility that helps with focusingautofocus motor that enables the user to use older nikon lenses without the hsm lenses that are used in the d40/60more features are there , i just cant be bothered to type them all out. Amongst the ocean of features that you behold when you take hold of the d90 you will notice its size , weight and ergonomics. Nikon are well known for making cameras that are designed to fit your hand , with interfaces (controlls) specifically designed and located so that in relation to the organ using them e. G your thumb or index finger , the controll is always there. Extremely useful - new led screen on top right hand side of camerathis feature if you are used to lower range cameras without the led screens is even more useful in my opinion than the main screen used to view pictures. No longer do you need to navigate long menu systems to change a setting like shutter release mode , metering mode , shutter speed , aperature and more. Just hold down an easy to locate button on the back or top of the body to select the option category and then use one of the 2 scroll wheels to change the option. Picture quality - exceptional , sharp , colourful , contrasting images. Iv printed to a3 size and havnt noticed any distortion of any kind. I imagine that extremely large prints can be made with only minute distortion , but how many times are you going to need to print a picture the size of a wall ? get a hassleblad !the only shame about the d90 is its cost , but with the new features and controlls youll get , more money from the beautiful pictures you will take with the d90. The reviews speak for themselves , you wont understand untill you have tryed it.
Amazing!. I decided to go for the d90 as my first dslr. Like other people have said, i spent ages, and i mean ages, deciding which camera to get. After owning this camera for several months now, i am delighted to say that it has gone above and beyond my expectations. The camera itself is so easy top use and even has a help button if your unsure what something is (e. G. Changing flash settings, you press one button and it tells you everything you need to know about everything to do with that setting. The buttons are very well laid out and easy to use and the camera feels very comfortable in the hand. And i love how the two dials on the front and rear side of the camera are used for nearly everything, and both work very well. Being nikon, both the body and the 18-105 vr lens that i got with the camera, are exceptionally good quality. Everything feels sturdy despite the plastic material that they are mostly made out of. The d90 has the perfect weight, not too light (doesn't feel cheap) not too heavy (doesn't break your neck), i love it!i am extremely impressed with the pictures that i've managed to get from my d90. I do a lot of long exposure photography and it works really well. In addition to this, the wide array of compatible lenses from nikon mean that there's something for everything! i'm getting the 70-300 vr soon and the fixed 50mm f/1. 8. The 50mm is under.

Conclusion of Nikon D90 Digital SLR Camera Body Only
I did a loooot of research before i decided on the nikon d90. I decided to stick with the nikon as i already had some nikon accessories. The thing that really sold it for me (as a budding wedding photographer) was the fact that changing settings on the d90 is really easy. This is where you set the camera to take a series of photos each at different exposure levels. However, because the af motor is in the d90, my d40 lens still has auto focusit also worked fine with my nikon sb-400 flash.
When i bought it, i didn't think i would use the video all that much and in fact was worried that by adding video, nikon might compromise on the still photography. There are times when you wish you had a video camera - and now you dosure, the video doesn't autofocus, so i always flick it onto manual af and use it that way. He was using a canon 50d (which is a lovely camera too - more comfortable to hold than the d90), however, he said to me at the end of the 4 hours or so that he had changed his main camera battery twice. No idea what the canon 50d is doing but the nikon d90 does seem to have a considerably better battery-lifeoverall, this is a fantastic camera. If you just want a nice camera for taking pictures when on holiday then i would probably save the money and buy the d5000.
However, if you want more from your dslr and want to develop your photography skills, you want to photograph fast-changing subjects like birds, try new things out or start out in wedding photography etc then this is fantastic camera and gives you amazing value for money. When i was researching my purchase a lot of reviewers made a big thing about how useful it was having dedicated buttons for all of the key functions and at the time i thought 'big deal' i don't mind delving into the menus but having used the buttons on the d90 i now realise how wrong i was. You can create your own picture controls on top of the existing ones (in camera or using the viewnx software that comes with the camera) or download ones created by other users. I have used lots of cameras over the years from slr 35mm film, compact digital, bridge cameras and dslr's but the d90 is the best i have owned. Things that on some cameras are hidden away in menus are accessed through dedicated buttons on the d90.
If i want to change the iso it's very easy as there is a button which allows me to change without getting involved in the menu at all, it adds up to one fantastic camera. The 3 inch high resolution screen is very effective and appears to be much better than most dslr's i have seen plus the handling and the 'feel' of the d90 for me is oh so right.

Being nikon, both the body and the 18-105 vr lens that i got with the camera, are exceptionally good quality. The d90 has the perfect weight, not too light (doesn't feel cheap) not too heavy (doesn't break your neck), i love iti am extremely impressed with the pictures that i've managed to get from my d90. First let me say the 'spec' on the nikon d90 might not be the latest and i was well aware of the fact that the main competitors camera made by c++++ has an 18mp sensor and 1080hd movie mode (yes and a silly screen at the back that spins around for some reason???????) the 12mp sensor on the nikon d90 (which i believe is the same one used on the nikon d300s) produces super punchy colourful true likeness images that the main competitors machine for the same money could only dream about. The nikon d90 is built like a tank and feels so solid tough and well made. I suspect that most people buying this camera will not use the built in movie mode that much, and will be using the camera for 2d stills.
Then buy the nikon d90 while stocks still last. The nikon d90 is the camera to have for 2d stills. Since nikon launched the d90 way back when, there have been many other nikon dslrs come and go, but the d90 has stayed. Assuming you have come across a nikon lens by another means, you'll notice that there is a little more 'heft' to the body, there is a lot more going on round the edge of the camera. The video function has been surpassed many times by the latest generation, but i suspect if you are looking at this camera as an option, you wouldn't care too much about that.
I am a landscape photographer and get great results with my d90 (although i have got some expensive glass), good crisp images and easy to use. The camera has it all, easy to use for a beginner through to more advanced settings which are easy to use by those with more experience. I had some slight problems with overexposure initially, but that was due to my playing with settings on the camera, not the camera itself. It is a bit heavier than my previous camera, but not enough to cause any problems. The camera works very well with almost any nikon 50mm which start at around.
The camera feels rugged and well built and as an extra bonus matches all my existing lenses and attachments. I am already an owner of the d90 this is my second onei am so impressed with the camera, so why change it?. It has the usual dials and buttons to enable you to manually set the cameras apature, iso ect. I just want to give my impression after using the nikon d90 for several months now: this camera is fantastic. Nikon got it right: they choose to improve the picture quality instead of luring inexperienced and silly 'consumers' who understand nothing about photography and think that pixel count has something to do with picture quality.
Nikon D90 - Six Stars. I purchased my d90 six months ago and would recommend it to anyone without hesitation. I am a landscape photographer and get great results with my d90 (although i have got some expensive glass), good crisp images and easy to use. The battery life is excellent, i have a battery grip and with two batteries you could go away for a few days and leave the charger at home. The camera has it all, easy to use for a beginner through to more advanced settings which are easy to use by those with more experience. I have just set up my website and have now sold my first photos taken with my d90. .
Still Classy. Since nikon launched the d90 way back when, there have been many other nikon dslrs come and go, but the d90 has stayed. Why is that?well, one reason is undoubtably the perfect build quality. The right hand grip is perfect in size, and while it weighs noticably more than the d40 that i used before, it is clear to see where the weight comes from. Assuming you have come across a nikon lens by another means, you'll notice that there is a little more "heft" to the body, there is a lot more going on round the edge of the camera. So many buttons and dials can feel intimidating to a casual photographer, but gradually their purposes become clear, and you realise that a lot of thought went into the placement. Picture quality is as good as you would expect it to be. There are so many features to list, but my favourite is the rapid fire, continuous frame option that takes pictures at 4. 5 fps. The video function has been surpassed many times by the latest generation, but i suspect if you are looking at this camera as an option, you wouldn't care too much about that. I have a camcorder for video, i like my technology to be excellent at one thing, rather than quite good at everything. It's no surprise that this is still the flagship product of nikon's dslr range, i don't expect that will change any time soon. .
