Excellent

View score

The good: First-rate performance; solid, well-constructed body with nice viewfinder; video capture capability; great photo quality.

The bad: Middling kit lens; poor HDMI output implementation.

The bottom line: Like the D80 before it, the Nikon D90 delivers an excellent dSLR for the money.

Absolutely the Best



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Everything about this camera speaks to quality and ease. The utlity value with video says I can do anything anywhere for whatever reason.
Cons: Have not found any!!!
Opinion:
I received my D90 with the kit lens a week ago and have made 700+ pictures. I have set the camera's function button and the "My Menu" setup to access the most useful features quickly. I have it programmed such that I can make changes on the fly with one hand. Keep shooting!!!

I have used the kit lens and the picture quality is superb. I know the downside is a plastic mount but I do not plan to jerk it around.

The quality of Nikor lens is always great. I also use the Nikor 55mm F1.4, a Nikor 18-55m VR, and a Tamron 28-300mm VC lens. All have allowed the camera to do its work while I worry only about composition and the pictures have turned out great.

This is a keeper.

 

I'm a Happy Camper with the Nikon D90...

Pros: Fast - sharp - solid bild - nice handling , ergo
Cons: Video mode - kit lens 18-105
Opinion:
Got my toy one week ago and it has not disapointed me
taken aprox. 200 shots , all sharp and good expos.
Got the Nikkor 18-200mm. ,and not the kit lens.(18-105mm)
And that is the way you want to go. the kit lens dont do
this camera justice. get the house and what ever lens you
need.
VIDEO in a DSLR , DONT NEED IT , and dont want it, but that`s just mee , or is it ???
Finaly , I´m very glad i got this D90 , and not the
plastic toy Canon 450D
