 Serious photography enthusiast? Look no further February 7, 2010
S. Sarkar (LA, CA)
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 all my pictures 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
 I love this camera!! February 4, 2010
M. D. Hobbs
I am not a pro photographer so my point of view comes from an enthusiast more then anything. I went from a coolpix to this because my other camera would wash the kids out in the snow and was slow. This camera is fast and sharp, it does video too but you have to manually focus it, but I didn't buy it for video. If you are looking for a camera with a ton of options and is easy to use this is it, also do the online tutorials on Nikons web site they really help understand all the options.
Great but get the body only February 1, 2010

I ended up returning this kit to get the body only and the 50/1.8 and 18-55 VR for about the same total.
I read that the 18-105 does not compare with the 18-55 VR for sharpness and does not justify the cost as part of the kit. This is why I gave it a 4 star.
I am really happy with the camera, I had Canons and really like the Nikon better now.
In my opinion this camera is much easier to use, you can access the most important menu items (so many to list here..) without getting into menus.
The programmable auto iso function is the best thing ever. You set the default iso that the camera uses in normal conditions (e.g. 200) then you set the maximum iso that you want to use to limit noise (e.g. 800) and finally you tell the camera what's the slowest shutter that you are comfortable with (e.g. 1/125).
Let's make an example, indoor low light with the 50/1.8 and you don't want to use the flash. Now if you are in A mode and set for example 1.8, the camera will look at the light with iso 200 and decide how slow of a shutter it needs, if it's faster than 1/125 it will shoot 1.8-200-1/500 or so.. If 1/125 is too fast it will shoot something like 1.8-400-1/125. Finally if the light is so low what even iso 800 is not enough it will slow down the shutter beyond your comfort zone shooting for example 1.8-800-1/30.
I find this a wonderful feature that I have heard Canons don't have. I highly recommend setting the custom function button to this auto-iso function because you will be setting this every time you change lens or zoom in and out (your comfort zone changes with focal lengths..)
Video mode is just for fun, make a few short clips, that's it. Use a HD camcorder for long footage. No autofocus, exposure jumps visibly, and other bugs..
The software is also very nice, transfers and views all image types in a breeze and you can also adjust, copy and export NEF files. Email sharing also very easy.
Camera lived up to reviews and then some January 31, 2010
M. C. Harrison (Lawrenceville, GA, US)
I found many reviews of the Nikon D90 before I purchased it. They said it had the features I wanted without costly extras. They were right! Excellent optics, easy to use, intuitive display, decent instruction booklet. I would highly recommend this product for amateur and semi professional photographers. Excellent quality pictures, not overly heavy, good quality for the money.
The more i use it, the more I like it. January 31, 2010

The Nikon D90 camera was recommended by a professional photographer. After using it for two months and also using a D40, I am delighted to have its many features. I searched the internet and found several D90s priced less, but was warned to purchase from only a Nikon authorized dealer. The Nikon website lists their authorized dealers. Amazon had the lowest price I found from the authorized dealers, and I haven't found a lower price since. I had no problems with its shipping nor the camera.
I also recommend the use of Apple's Light Room software, Nikon Speedlight SB-600, and a light weight Manfrotto tripod. If you are starting a photographic hobby, you will be spending a good amount of money for the "essentials". Amazon is a good source for many of these.
