Nikon D90 a great camera, with all the features that needed for excellent photography.

If we can understand the manual and try all the modes... you become an expert of photography...

real good camera...

I'd say this is the best when compared with D5100 and D7000 with in the budget

The Nikon D90 is just a perfect camera in its range. It has great colors and is easy to use.

This camera makes me feel like I am a professional photographer! Never had so much fun with a camera and all my photos are really cool! Love the features.

Professionals watch out! The D90 ROCKS!

I'll start out by saying the D90 doesn't focus as quickly or easily as the Canon 40D, but that is where it ends. The D90 is an amazing machine that does everything well. True color, tack sharp quality, a screen so bright you need shades and controls that are easy to find and use. I have to admit that I read the quick guide after setting up the camera and shot about 1000 pictures before needing to go into the manual for some specific settings. Very intuitive and clear when cruising through the menu. Battery life is outstanding as I can shoot about 1200 pictures, maybe 900 with flash on a single battery. They do take a while to charge so invest in a couple of extras and you are set for a long time without charging. Invest in a good strap as the Nikon one supplied will leave your neck sore after a few hours. I've only used the LV a couple of times and it does take some getting used to with the AF feature being slightly diferent. Love the ability to modify pictures while still in the camera with the Nikon software. The screen is so clear and bright it allows me to do a lot of editing in the field instead of on the computer. Although the flash is good, I'd still invest in a TTL flash if you are shooting indoors or portraits.

I couldn't be happier with what Nikon has put together in a very user friendly package with the highest quality features and products. I did my purchase on www.gizmo.bz for INR54590/- along with Nikkor 18-105mm Lens.

I have been interested in photography for many years and had many different cameras. I bought a D90 to relieve my D80 from being my main camera. The D80 suits my hands, as my wrists are a bit painfull the fit is important. So I got the D90 before it goes out of production as I was concerned I might not get an upgrade as comfortable. The D90 is a D80 made better IMO. Live view is handy but not recomended for regular use - more usefull for checking difficult exposures or White balance. Image quality is great - a little better balanced than the D80 in colour and saturation. Of course everything is adjustabel in settings too.

Biggest bonus is the low noise even at Higher ISO, even better than the pretty good D80 results - I took some indoor pics of family on manual (K) white blance at 2000ISO and they were superb!

This camera is a pleasure to use and the results are great - I don't find I need to tweak as many pics with this camera as I have done with others.

Upgraded from D50 to D90 following a progression from total amateur to someone who was starting to produce decent shots and really enjoy it. D50 was great but lacked resolution if the image needed a little crop, and user friendliness for the enthusiast photographer was limited as many functions would only be alterable via the menu. The D90 has a host of dedicated buttons on the camera body to change ISO, AF mode, Flash, depth of field preview, metering mode, aperture AND shutter speed separately etc. The CMOS sensor renders images with beautiful accuracy but more importantly consistency across a range of shots in similar conditions.

Never thought I would use higher ISO for macro shots, but the D90 has produced beautifully detailed images with no detectable noise at ISO 800 and more. Ability to create good photos has stepped up a notch. Downsides? At this price none. Perhaps the video, which I will not be using and have not yet tried but has received some criticism. Bought mine used - boxed as new - from MBP photographic for a bargain with part-ex on the D50 - consider it.

Beautiful Camera! Never had an SLR before but I think its perfect!

After starting small with a nikon D40 and working my way up to a nikon D90 with a stable of lenses, I can safely say this is a great buy. The sensor is outstanding for the price of the camera body, it delivers crisp shots in difficult light. It's not perfect but it's as close as you get in a "budget" dslr. My only complaint would be video.

Yes, with the video you have more creative options, esp. with the ability to throw the background out of focus using a lens at say f2, but it's all but useless for shooting on the go, out with friends or something of the like. For producing something like a commercial or short movie where every shot is planned and stuck to a tripod it would just get by.

However I didn't buy this cam to make movies and that's why it gets a 5/5.
