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.
The much-rumored and even more longed-for update to the Nikon D80 has done its predecessor proud. The 12.3-megapixel Nikon D90 doesn't replace the popular 10-megapixel D80, which moves down Nikon's dSLR product line, and unsurprisingly, provides some significant enhancements over that 2-year-old model. Most notably, the D90 was the first digital SLR to support movie capture.
Though the inevitable comparison tends to be new versus new, the D90's main competitor isn't Canon's significantly cheaper Rebel XSi, but the company's older 10-megapixel 40D, as well as the 12.2-megapixel Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 and 14.6-megapixel Pentax K20D. The D90 comes in two versions: body only and a kit with the 18-105mm f3.5-5.6 lens.
At 1 pound, 10 ounces, the body is considerably heavier than most sub-$1,000 models, but it also feels sturdier and more substantial. The slightly more expensive A700 and K20D have more advanced dust and weather sealing, however. It's about the same size as the D80 and takes the same battery and vertical grip. It also has the same wireless flash controls and high-speed flash sync features. Nikon improved the shutter durability and integrated the same dust-prevention system as that of the D300. And while it uses the same LCD as that camera, it's covered by a polymer rather than glass.
I really enjoy shooting with the camera; it's comfortable to hold, and the control layout and navigation should be immediately recognizable to anyone who's shot with a Nikon dSLR recently. If you're making the switch from another brand, there might be a bit of a learning curve; for example, Nikon puts the white balance, ISO, and quality buttons to the left of the LCD on its cameras, while other manufacturers tend to place them under the control of your right hand. As I complained about with the D80, I wish they were more easily identifiable by touch and the labeling a bit less cluttered.
To the right of the LCD you'll find the dedicated Live View button, four-way navigation switch plus OK button, a switch to lock the navigation from moving the selected AF point, and a context-sensitive information button. In Live View mode, it cycles through a grid and two information displays and in standard shooting mode it displays the now-common settings summary and lets you change a limited number of parameters. The parameter selections are a bit odd, though. You can only adjust settings you don't normally change that frequently--such as Assign AE-L/AF-L button behavior, Assign Fn button, and Long exposure noise reduction--while options you'll likely need more often, like the AF mode choices (Single point, Dynamic and Auto) or self-timer delay, remain buried in the custom settings. True, you can assign at least the AF mode choices to the Fn button, but there's a lot of other stuff you might want to assign to that as well, most notably the one-touch raw-format toggle. (For more on the D90's design and control layout, click through to the slide show.)
While its movie mode certainly ranks as the D90's most novel capability compared with its peers, the implementation leaves quite a bit to be desired. Its movie-capture specifications aren't too shabby: 24 frames per second 1,280x720-pixel motion JPEG and support for VR optical image-stabilization if the lens has it. But it seems like Nikon faced some technical limitations that impair the capture experience, as well as makes some rookie mistakes with both its video and HDMI output. For instance, exposure is fixed for the length of the clip, it has monaural sound, and you can only focus manually while shooting. HD clips are capped at 5 minutes because of file-system limitations. Plus, Nikon doesn't seem to have put sufficient video processing smarts into the camera to properly render video or stills; when connected via the mini-HDMI output, it relies on the TV to do the downconversion to HD resolution for stills (never a good idea) and Nikon's true 24fps video doesn't quite match that of most TV processors' expected 23.976fps, which can result it occasional playback stutter. Still, this has been a long-awaited feature in the entry-level segment, since it's one of the two important most features users have had to sacrifice when moving up to dSLRs (the other being pocketability).
Like the newer Canon EOS 50D, the D90 adds face detection to its Live View repertoire--part of the enhancements enabled by a revision of its Expeed image processor--though it maxes out at five faces. The FD supplies data to the camera's face-priority AF, and Nikon has integrated the FD information into its automatic scene recognition algorithms to help with metering and AF. In practice, it doesn't seem to make much difference, either in speed or portrait quality, over wide-area AF; both of those two AF modes are significantly faster than normal area AF in Live View, however.
There are also the usual array of improvements and additions to shooting controls, including an expansion of Active D-Lighting parameters (you can now go extra high), nine slots for custom Picture Control settings, which can be uploaded to Nikon's Capture NX 2 raw-processing software, as well as advanced scene modes that incorporate Picture Controls and Active D-Lighting, and that can automatically program shift to slower shutter speeds when the camera knows a VR lens is attached. Most important, my casual testing confirmed that operating in Active D-Lighting mode doesn't impose a performance penalty, as can happen because of the processing overhead. The D90 also includes a socket for Nikon's GP-1 hot shoe GPS device. But I'd trade all these bells and whistles for the custom settings banks found in the D300 and D3, or even a less complex implementation like the three mode-dial-based custom settings slots in the 40D. (To get a real sense of any camera's capabilities, I always suggest reading the manual. You can find the D90's PDF documentation here.)
My main complaint is with the new 18-105mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens. On one hand, it seems like the perfect range to cover as a primary: at 27-157mm in 35mm-equivalent terms it gets wide enough and long enough for typical shooting needs. But the zoom ring is a bit too stiff and the lens seems just slightly less sharp than the kit lenses from Canon.
But I've no complaints about the D90's performance, which clearly improves upon the D80's. It has the same 11-point AF system, but Nikon adds an 11-point AF 3D-tracking mode that's a trickle-down technology from above. The camera feels exceptionally responsive for its class, which is borne out by our performance testing. For all but continuous shooting, it's about as fast as the D300, and overall one of the fastest in its class. It takes less than 0.2 second to power up and shoot. In bright, high-contrast conditions the shot lag runs about 0.4 second, while in harder-to-focus scenes that runs about 0.9 seconds. It typically takes about half a second to shoot two raw or JPEG frames in a row; enabling the flash bumps that to a still-respectable 0.7 second.
Continuous shooting on CNET Labs' tests typically clocked at about 4fps, which is very good for a sub-$1,000 model. In more casual tests using the 8GB SanDisk 30MB per second Extreme III SDHC card it reached about 4.5fps, as specced, without the buffer bottlenecking at all (our standard tests use a slower Class 6 card).
Even without the zippier card, the burst mode and AF system are certainly fast enough to keep up with kids and dogs--as long as you shoot JPEGs--which make this a great camera for parents of sports-minded children. The 11-point 3D-tracking AF mode is nice, as long as your subject moves in predictable ways. It was less successful trying to track a squirrel, for example, which randomly moved to and fro; the system would alternatively lock onto the tail and the head, whichever was closer to me.
Though it incorporates a 12-megapixel DX-format sensor, Nikon stresses that it's not the same sensor as in the D300. The pixels are the same size, however, and though it uses only 12-bit processing rather than 14-bit like the D300, Nikon claims high-ISO quality as good as the D300's, thanks to the same on-chip noise reduction. Our numbers don't exactly bear that out--the D90 seems to perform better up to and including ISO 400, then they reverse--but they're still excellent and quite competitive with the 40D. As usual it depends upon scene content, but the photos are quite usable up to and including ISO 3200. As usual for Nikon, the D90 tends to underexpose, and the dynamic range of bright shots fares better than dark, but you can easily compensate. Overall, the tonal range is very good and colors are quite accurate, as well as nicely saturated. (You can find more discussion of the D90's photo quality here.)
D-Movie doesn't match the best of the snapshot-camera movie modes. I shot the flags blowing in the breeze and a fountain that I typically use to test camcorder and camera video. The clips themselves look OK, although for some reason Nikon bumps up the saturation beyond the photo settings, and I wish the camera shot 30fps instead of 24fps. You also need three hands if you plan to use the zoom--which requires manually focusing--because it's hard to hold this relatively heavy dSLR out in front of you steadily while shooting videos in Live View. But problems and quality aside, I still like the creative potential of the mode.
Ultimately, the Nikon D90 gets high marks because it's a fast camera that delivers a great shooting experience and first-rate photos for the money. If your budget can't stretch quite that far, the D80 remains an excellent deal at its price.

Great camera for the money. Excellent image quality.
by acnownzu on October 25, 2008
Pros: Images are sharp and noise-free. Extremely fast performance. Auto and scene modes make it very easy to take great shots out of the box. Included lens kit has VR and is light and compact. Movie mode is fun to use. Great value at this price.
Cons: Movie mode has annoying limitations, such as 5 minute cap on HD and no auto focus. Lens kit has cheapish build quality. 18-105mm range is not great for telephoto zoom shots. JPEG output could be sharper (but RAW is excellent).
Summary: I bought this dSLR after reading the positive reviews on Cnet, http://dpreview.com, and seeing it was a best pick on http://bestcovery.com. Overall I'm extremely satisfied ...
Summary: I bought this dSLR after reading the positive reviews on Cnet, http://dpreview.com, and seeing it was a best pick on http://bestcovery.com. Overall I'm extremely satisfied with the purchase. As others have mentioned, it's not perfect, but it's probably the best available right now in this price range.
This is my first dSLR and I was impressed with how quickly I was able to jump in and start using it. You can get excellent images right out of the box using the Auto or scene modes. I took it to the USC football game last weekend and was able to get great shots using in Action mode. The images were very sharp, noise free, and because of the 12.3MP resolution, I was able to crop them while still having plenty to work with.
The movie mode is very cool, but the limitations (no autofocus, 5 minute limit for HD) are a bit annoying. It's definitely not a replacement for an HD camcorder, but it's good enough for general purpose.
The lens is nice because it's light and compact, but the 18-200mm lens would be a lot more useful. I'll probably end up either buying that or the 70-300mm lens so I can get close-up shots.
I'd highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a dSLR in this price range. Even if it's your first dSLR, you'll be able to get great shots with it out of the box, and as many users have pointed out, image quality is nearly on par with the more expensive D300. I kept postponing my dSLR purchase because they kept getting better and cheaper, but this one was intriguing enough to make me bite the bullet12 out of 12 users found this user opinion helpful.

A Nikon D300 for everybody......
by sbozzy on September 19, 2008
Pros: Very similar photo quality/features to the D300
Great sensitivity up to ISO6400 great noise reduction to ISO3200
920000 LCD. Incredible!
Nice feel.
Light but not to light.
Great Nikon VR lensCons: Video Recording without auto focus or exposure changes for 5 minutes.....weak, Doesnt look any better than DV at best. Needs work. Spoiled by my Sony HDV camera.

Summary: I found the D90 as a very impressive Prosumer DSLR camera, with alot of the great features and photo quality of the D300. Also a 920000 pixel LCD that is as clear as it can be. I was saving to buy the D300, but I think D90 is a D300 in a lighter body. I aways believed that the VR feature was a gimmick, but I have never been able to shoot handheld shots with such a long shutter without smear. Nikon makes the best VR lens in the biz. Im looking for a telephoto Nikon VR ASAP
I believe the video recording needs more work though (auto focus, exposure, and time limit recording) not impressed. But the D90s a great camera. Its definately a poormans D300. Great step up from the D80.9 out of 9 users found this user opinion helpful.

Pros: For the price, you're getting a lot of camera....
Cons: The movie mode is just OK. Don't buy the camera for this feature alone, it's more of a gimmick. I guess in a pinch, it's nice to have.

Summary: The D80 is now a real buy, but if you have a few more bucks, the extra features on the D90 make it worth buying, like the LCD screen, live view, larger sensor, dust reduction and extra in-camera editing. I've shot thousands of images and this camera rocks. The kit lens seems fine throughout its range. Little noise at low ISO. The camera feels great. Printing crops from the 12.5 mp is great. The battery life is very good. If you want a longer lens, I would think about just getting the body and then the Nikkor 18-200 VR. No camera is perfect, but I'm glad I got this one....

Summary: THIS IS THE BEST DSLR CAMERA IN ITS CLASS, PERIOD. I DEBATED BETWEEN THE D90 AND THE CANON 40D, WHICH IS ALSO AN EXCELLENT CAMERA BUT I PICKED THE NIKON FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
BETTER HIGH ISO PERFORMANCE
BETTER LCD SCREEN
BETTER USER INTERFACE (THIS IS OF COURSE PERSONAL PREFERANCE BUT I FOUND THE MENU'S OF THE CANON TO BE LESS USER FRIENDLY)
VIDEO CAPABILITIES (THIS DOES NOT REPLACE A CAMCORDER BUT I HAVE GOTTEN SOME GREAT VIDEO'S OF THE KIDS THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE WITH A TRADITIONAL DSLR)
MOST RELIABLE AUTO FOCUSSING OF ANY DSLR (40D FOCUSSES MILISECONDS FASTER BUT NOT ALWAYS ACCURATE)
EXCELLENT MID RANGE LENSES (I AM NOT A PRO SO I DON'T WANT TO SPEND A FORTUNE ON GLASS TO GET A GOOD QUALITY LENS)
BEST SPEEDLIGHTS OF ANY CAMERA MAKER
I KNOW THAT SOME HARD CORE CANON USERS WILL ARGUE OVER SOME OF THE THINGS I LISTED UBOVE BUT THE REALITY IS NIKON IS MAKING BETTER CAMERA'S ACROSS THE BOARD TODAY. CANON AND NIKON SEEN TO LEAP FROG EACHOTHER IN TERMS OF THEIR PRODUCTS WHICH MAKES FOR GREAT PRODUCTS COMING DOWN THE PIPE FOR BOTH SIDES. IF YOU ARE A HOBBYIST OR WANT A BACKUP TO YOUR D3 OR D700 YOU CAN'T DO ANY BETTER THAN THE D90. IT WILL GIVE YOU 95% OF THE D300 PLUS VIDEO. THIS IS REALLY A NO BRAINER. THE NIKON D90 IS A FANTASTIC DSLR CAMERA THAT WILL BE WITH YOU FOR YEARS TO COME.
HAPPY SHOOTING.6 out of 6 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: This camera will have amateurs shooting professional quality shots. If you are already a pro then you will like its solid construction and performance in any lighting situation. I would still use a D3 for my large landscapes, just because. This camera offers superior metering, focusing and a fairly decent kit lens. And once again it has the same exact image sensor as the D300. Why would you spend more for exactly the same photos?

An excellent prosumer camera
by edentonbill on October 14, 2008
Pros: This is a nice step-up from the D80 in megapixels and the fact that it is the first DSLR with video. Also good for its anti-vibration lens (VR) and its immediate ease of use. You can move from Auto setting to various shooting modes very quickly.
Cons: The video mode has only mono sound and requires manual focusing.

Summary: My first camera was Nikon Coolpix 4100. It was very good and delivered good pictures. Later i upgrated to Kodad P712 a 7 mega pixel camera w/ 12x zoom. Overall it delivered good pictures but when compared apples to apples, i liked more my old Nikon coolpix because of its quality, lighting and speed etc. Since P712 is slower, i missed a lot of good moments of my kid who is 23 months old now. So I have decided to switch back to Nikon again for more quality & speed. I have decided to go for a DSLR this time so that i won't miss atleast some of those good moments anymore.
Just like others, i was going through all the reviews on different sites and did lot of research to figure out which Nikon DSLR i have to go for. The final answer i got is Nikon D90. Thats it. I bought the camera and started clicking my son's photographs rightaway. Took 30 mins to go over the settings and etc. It works right out of the box as you wanted it to work. So far I am happy with it.
Nice camera and i will recommend this to everybody.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

Outstanding Advanced Amateur DSLR
by bewarnock on September 30, 2008
Pros: High image quality with easy to use menu functions. Very fast to focus and shoot.
Cons: A little too heavy and plastic lens mount on 18-105. With the multi-spot focus screen it is sometimes hard to select the desired focus subject.

Summary: We waited for a long time to upgrade from our fine Nikon D50 and the wait was well worth it. Although the D50 took many very good images, the D90 is a big step forward in color rendition and image quality. Highly recommend it, but not necessarily as the first DSLR for the consumer as this is a somewhat complicated camera. The learning curve from the D50 was not too big as the controls are quite similar.

Excellent mid range dSLR w/ oustanding picture quality.

Pros: Variety of different shooting modes, in-camera picture editing, HD video capture, great picture quatity, beautiful 3.0 in LCD, LiveView function allows it to work as a point and shoot, Customizable menus, variety of lenses, and solid build quality
Cons: As with any dSLR it is pretty bulky, but is very comfortable to hold. It is quite heavy, and when you add a lense even heavier.

Summary: Overall this is an amazing camera. I have no major complaints with it at all. The picture quality is incredible, even at a high ISO. It has a moderately fast frame rate of 4.5 fps, which easily handles most of your day to day shooting as well as fast enough for most sports, car races, children, etc. The different shooting modes are easy to use and optimize your camera's settings for specific scenes with great results. Great variety of different files to shoot in, with the ability to shoot in RAW as well as JPEG simultaneaously. The in-camera editing is great and easy to use. All the different buttons and dials are easy to navigate and very straight up in their functions.
Unless you are an avid Nikon dSLR user, I would strongly suggest buying a Magic Latern Guide, or a Digital Field Guide by Wiley. These are excellent for beginning to semi-pro photographers and really let you get a grasp of what your Nikon D90 is capable of. The manual can be a little tough to read and completely understand, which is why I would strongly recommend buying a good guide.
I would highly recommend this camera to anyone froma beginning dSLR user, to an advanced dSLR user. Nikon quality is hard to beat and there are so many options when choosing accessories such as lenses, flashes, remotes, etc. If you are looking for a camera in this price range, it is simple, buy the D90.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.
