 Love my D90 |

I upgraded from my Nikon D70 to D90 -- I shot over 4000 pictures using my D70 in Europe alone; had purchased other higher end Nikon lens so decided to go with the D90. I didn't believe the video feature was significant but soon find out that even it is not the best video camera in the world (no way...), however, because it has the video capability that's good enough, it helped me captured many important moments of my children. I matched this D90 with the Nikkor 17-55 f/2.8 zoom most of the time and found it a great match. The only complain I have is the optic plus the body is a little heavy, more heavier if I attached the Nikon S600 flash. However, I rather to be ready to take beautiful pictures than have a nice pocket-able camera that takes too long to fire up each shot and ended up missing them (the moving subjects).
Nice camera... |

WOW...I'm not new to Digital SLR's and Digital photography and this camera is AWESOME. My previous SLR was a Nikon D-80 and I always got great comments from family and friends on my photos, but. this D-90 is very much a big step up. The live view for me is very useful especially in shooting group pix and outdoor scenery and buildings. It gives you a true perspective of what your picture will actually look like. Also, I wear glasses so the live view helps in framing shots too. The LCD is so bright, even in outdoor use. I have only had the camera with 18 x 105 mm lens for about a month, but I am totally impressed and highly recomend the Nikon D-90 to any class of photograper,
you won't be disappointed. Ronnie B |

| I purchased the D90 for my wife in October of 2009. Since then, we've taken thousands of pictures and the camera has worked flawlessly every time. We are new to DSLR cameras and many of the photos have been taken using the automatic settings and they turn out great. With a little self education, the pictures got even better. The camera has always been reliable, the only problem we've ever encountered had to do with using a low grade memory card that wasn't on the list of approved cards by Nikon. If you are considering buying this camera, don't hesitate. The build quality is great, controls are easy to use, the kit lens is even decent. If you are looking for a DSLR in a decent price rang that will offer room to grow the D90 is an excellent choice. |
Solid DSLR

The Nikon D90 is a solid, capable DSLR, with more than enough features to hang yourself with.
The default settings are fine, but if you really want quality images, I suggest the following settings:
Neutral preset, sharpening at 5, brightness at -1.
D-Lighting Off.
Exposure +0.3 stops.
This fixes the biggest issue of standard D90 image quality, which is that it tries too hard to create bright images and thus suffers from under-saturates colors.
Images should be brightened by adjusting exposure, not the brightness setting!
Of course, if you shoot RAW, then none of these settings matter, 'cos it only gets applied to JPEG images.
But with these settings, you can shoot Large Normal JPEGs and get almost the same quality as if you shot RAW.
I shot more than 500 photos during my trip to Zion & Bryce NP, and have gotten results that cannot be mistaken for those from a compact camera. The range on the kit 18-105mm lens is wonderful, and the lens is tack sharp.
I shouldn't have waited this long to get a DSLR.

An insane intermediate camera for the budget photographer

This is my second camera after my Fuji S9500 DSLR like camera. The upgrade is worlds apart as this is my first venture into the proper DSLR field. The D90 is a steady, reliable, consistent workhorse for all types of photography, providing superb quality and performance. I did extensive research before purchase and was actually looking at the Canon 550D (T2i) instead, but after reading about the D90 and using one from my friend I was sold.
The lens that comes with it, 18-105mm, is a good all-round lens and can cover close ups to average portraits. You can't go wrong with this camera but be prepared to read through the lengthy manual for the various settings and fairly confusing menu system. But trust me, you'll rarely reach for your camera manual when you're busy capturing special moments or candids of the world around you.
The battery life is amazing, with over 800 shots per charge. The controls are fairly easy to use and right where you need them. The Nikon technology behind the D90 makes life easier for you by doing most of the nitty gritty hard work and lets you focus on composition and capture.
If you're unsure of your purchase of a Nikon D90, I can assure you, this camera will be either you're primary or your secondary in time to come.
I love my D90!!
Cheers! |
