The Nikon D90 is a difficult camera to rate. When viewed as a traditional SLR, it is simply an excellent camera that I very much enjoyed using. All the frequently used functions have direct controls assigned to them, be it aperture, shutter speed, I...
Movie mode has its limitations, fiddly acess to AF modes
Even if we ignore the camera’s movie function, Nikon has done a mighty fine job in delivering such a camera as the D90. The D80 proved to be a successful model for Nikon, and inheriting the finer points of its more advanced models has allowed Nikon...
Build and handling, Superb image quality, Ease of use, Screen size, AF performance (non-Live View), White Balance control, EXPEED image processing and noise control, HD movies.
Live View AF, SD card port, VR kit lens barrel and pincushion distortion, Loss of shadow detail (dynamic range issues), SD cards held very tightly making safe removal awkward.
The D90 represents is a brilliant upgrade on the D80, worries over dynamic range need addressing but this is a new Nikon certainly capable of stunning results. In terms of pricing, looking at the body only price, it also represents stunning value for...
Wonderful quality stills, Minimal noise at high ISOs, Great burst mode, Excellent kit lens
No AF in video mode, *
The D90 as a camera is terrific. It focuses quickly, has zippy 4.5 fps burst mode, has more adjustments than you could possible handle in a lifetime plus it takes fine photos with barely a hint of noise. As a camcorder, the D90 doesn’t make it. ...

Great handling and ergonomics, Big viewfinder and detailed screen, First DSLR with movie mode, 4.5fps shooting & 11-point AF.
Motion artefacts in movie mode, Tough rival in Canon EOS 40D, Resolution not a big step from D80, Remote & RAW software costs extra.
There’s no doubt the Nikon D90 is a very impressive DSLR, but like its predecessor, it’s more about enhanced features and superior handling, rather than greatly improved image quality. Don’t get us wrong, the D90’s stills look grea...
