The Nikon D90 SLR Digital Camera, with its 12.3-megapixel DX-format CCD, 3" High resolution LCD display, Scene Recognition System, Picture Control, Active D-Lighting, and one-button Live View, provides photo enthusiasts with the image quality and performance they need to pursue their own vision while still being intuitive enough for use as an everyday camera. It features Nikon's EXPEED image processing engine to deliver outstanding images featuring fine details, smooth tones, rich colors and low noise across a wide ISO sensitivity range, and significantly accelerate camera performance on all levels. With a start up time of just 0.15 seconds and a shutter release lag time of approx. 65 milliseconds, the D90 delivers instant response, and provides continuous shooting at a rapid 4.5 frames per second. In addition, the D90 introduces the D-Movie mode, allowing for the first time, an interchangeable lens SLR camera that is capable of recording 720p HD movie clips.

The Nikon D90 lets users take advantage of the superior optical quality and broad selection of available NIKKOR lenses, and the refined 11-area AF System (based on Nikon's advanced Multi-CAM 1000 AF Sensor Module) ensures consistently fast and precise focus lock in various shooting conditions while Nikon's exclusive 3D Color Matrix Metering II ensures accurate automatic exposure control, even in the most challenging lighting conditions.

The D90 provides remarkable user operability, featuring Nikon's exclusive Scene Recognition System that advances precision in auto focus, auto exposure, and auto white balance in diverse shooting situations - so you'll get stunning images with point-and-shoot simplicity. The Live View mode allows for users to frame their images on the large 3" high resolution color LCD - providing for easy image framing, even when shooting at odd angles. There are also three contrast-detect AF modes to allow photographers to focus on any point in the frame, and enabling a greater variety of composition. In addition, the D90 has a face priority AF mode available in the Live View mode for even sharper pictures of people.

"Pros: Nikon D90 Digital camera Good ISO range, amazing picture quality even at high ISOs. Easy aperture and shuter speed adjusting.

"Nikon D90 Digital camera may look a lot like its predecessor, the D90 is essentially an all-new camera on the inside. The D90's most talked-about feature isn't its sensor, continuous shooting performance, or anything like that. Rather, it's the fact that it's the first D-SLR with a movie mode -- and in HD, no less.

"Pros:Nikon D90 Digital camera has More functions than the Old D80, better than a D60. 3' LCD is very sharp, look great. Live view is a nice feature to have. Very fast AF with 11 Points. Fast adjustments on the fly. Image quality is unbelievable even at high ISO's.
Cons: Video needs improvement.
Other Thoughts: Do yourself a favor, buy this camera, you won't regret it. If you are a D70 user then this will be a nice upgrade for you, D80 users will like the added features, live viewand improved IQ.

"Pros
Nikon D90 Digital camera is my fourth Nikon, it is without a doubt the best of all of them. These days the only way I make any money is through photography, the D90 really makes it easy. I thought my D60 was my best money maker, the D90 overshadows it.

Cons
Hmmm . . . that would be negative comments . . . the only thing I can think of is cost. Now that I think of it, that is the only thing anyone can really complain about when referring to Nikon. My first Nikon was in 1961, my complaint then was the same as now - the cost.

"I previously owned the D80 which is an excellent camera. I wanted to upgrade to the D90 for several reasons. Number one was the increase from 3 to 4.5 frames/sec. Next was the increased perfomance at high ISO since I like to shoot sports. Some of the other reasons I wanted to upgrade was the Live View and video recording capabilities. I also wanted a sensor that was capable of self cleaning. This camera did not disappoint me. I shot an indoor fencing tournament utilizing the increased frame rate and found the autofocus to be both fast and accurate. The lighting for the tournament was poor requiring me to shoot at ISO 2500 in order to stop the action. The images I obtained were spectacular with very little noise. I have only sampled the video and it seems to work fine, although the lenses will not autofocus during recording....that will probably be Nikon's next upgrade. Overall I am extremely pleased with this purchase and I highly recommend this camera
