Brilliant value for money
by Peter Roxburgh from Dorset, UK on 2010-03-06
It is only fitting that my 100th review on Amazon is for my D90.
I bought it at Christmas time to replace my Nikon D40 which I had for 2 years and died on me.
Very pleased I paid the money to go for the D90 rather than the D5000.
I did a LOOOOT of research before I decided on the Nikon D90. Initially it was a fight between Canon and Nikon. I decided to stick with the Nikon as I already had some Nikon accessories. There are some cheaper models of the Canon that will allow quick change for things like ISO settings and so on.
Then it was a fight between D5000 and the more expensive D90.
The D90 spec was obviously higher than the D5000. But everyone everywhere was advertising the D5000. And the D5000 has the tilt screen and so on.
After all the research I decided that although the D90 did not have the tilt screen, everything else was worth paying the extra money.
The D90 is built better than the D5000. The D90 feels and is aimed at those who are slightly more than just the rich casual photographer. The D90 is aimed much for the 'prosumer' market. People who enjoy photography as an art, a hobby and take it that little bit more seriously than just someone who wants nice holiday snaps.
The thing that really sold it for me (as a budding wedding photographer) was the fact that changing settings on the D90 is really easy. There are dedicated buttons for ISO, Quality, Flash Settings, Picture mode (i.e. self-timer, burst), Exposure compensation.
With the two dial jogs, it is really easy to change the settings. So for example, if you wanted to change the flash settings, you press the dedicated flash button with your left hand. With your thumb you rotate the back jog to change from 'Red-eye' to 'Rear', 'Slow' and so on. And with your forefinger of your right hand you can dial up or down the level of the flash! As easy as that! And the process works similarly for other settings!
For wedding photography this is brilliant, rather than having to dive into a Menu like I used to with my D40.
It has endless other options and features which would be too lengthy for me to write about. One of the other useful feature is 'bracketing'. This is where you set the camera to take a series of photos each at different exposure levels. That way you can quickly take the same picture three times, without having to constantly adjust exposure compensation. Hopefully at least one of them will be the right exposure. Fantastic again for when a Bride is walking down the aisle with her father etc or trying to take photos of a sunset.
The other great thing about going for the D90 over the D5000 is that the AF motor is in the body. So for example, I bought only the body and for the time being I am using the body kit lens from my D40. On the D5000, that would render that lens non-auto focus. However, because the AF motor is in the D90, my D40 lens still has auto focus!
It also worked fine with my Nikon SB-400 flash.
When I bought it, I didn't think I would use the video all that much and in fact was worried that by adding video, Nikon might compromise on the still photography. However, I have found for personal use the video quite fun. There are times when you wish you had a video camera - and now you do!
Sure, the video doesn't autofocus, so I always flick it onto Manual AF and use it that way. The sound and picture quality are fine and I love the option of being able to capture a short video as well as taking stills.
Just recently, I shot a wedding with a friend of mine. He was using a Canon 50D (which is a lovely camera too - more comfortable to hold than the D90), however, he said to me at the end of the 4 hours or so that he had changed his main camera battery twice! I, on the other hand, had only lost 1 bar on my battery indicator!! No idea what the Canon 50D is doing but the Nikon D90 does seem to have a considerably better battery-life!
Overall, this is a fantastic camera. If you just want a nice camera for taking pictures when on holiday then I would probably save the money and buy the D5000. However, if you want more from your DSLR and want to develop your photography skills, you want to photograph fast-changing subjects like birds, try new things out or start out in wedding photography etc then this is fantastic camera and gives you amazing value for money.
Amazing camera for the price, but forget the video feature
by Joseph Downing from London, UK on 2009-11-15
Upgraded from a D40 to the D90 as needed more focus points and an inbuilt auto focus motor to use with more advanced lenses. My only regret is not getting the camera sooner as its results are amazing. Excellent, quick focusing system, great image processing for JPEGs, amazing LCD screen and great, low noise images. Some even go as far as to say that, under most conditions, this camera even out performs the much more expensive D300, although the D300 does have a magnesium body and some weather sealing.
The D90 is slightly heavier (about 100g more) than the D40, and this could be a concern if weight is a concern. However, I can carry it around all day with the wonderful Nikon 18-200mm VR lens, and the two together is a dream combination! Only possible downside, is the quality of the video mode which is not great. However, I must say that I was reluctant to even mention this in this review for two reasons: Firstly, no one seems to use SLR's to shoot videos, and Secondly, because this is such a great camera its a shame to detract from it for an issue with something none of us are realistically going to use.
Nikon D90 - Six Stars
by J. Gilson from Bristol on 2009-10-30
I purchased my D90 six months ago and would recommend it to anyone without hesitation. I am a landscape photographer and get great results with my D90 (although I have got some expensive glass), good crisp images and easy to use.
The battery life is excellent, I have a battery grip and with two batteries you could go away for a few days and leave the charger at home.
The camera has it all, easy to use for a beginner through to more advanced settings which are easy to use by those with more experience.
I have just set up my website and have now sold my first photos taken with my D90.
Most fun I have ever had with a camera
by Mr. G. Bridgeman-clarke from Rayleigh UK on 2009-09-22
I am a professional photographer but to be frank you can't really lug around a D3 on holiday - too big and conspicuous. The D90 with the 18-105 VR lens is compact and light enough to carry around all day. It may have a plastic body against the D3, D3X, D300s and D700's magnessium but that really should not deter you.
I would say that you MUST read the manual that comes with the camera to get the best out of the camera. Yep I appreciate no one does read the manual but if you do you will be well rewarded and understand what excellent value for money the camera is. I believe that the sensor is the same as the D300 but you get it at a great price about 1/2 of the cost of the original D300.
Focusing is so swift and sharp and I reckon the images I get from this lens is better than those I get from my D3 with a 80-200 f2.8 lens.
I love the Live View option with video and though I recall complaints about the lack of autofocus I really did not have a problem shooting movies with the camera. Audio id excellent too and this camera gives you the best of both worlds, movies and stills.
I would add that if you can watch Laurie Excell's online seminar at Kelby Training which covers in about 60 minutes the most useful controls of the camera, then I recommend that as a great way to get to know your camera.
Great Mid-Range DSLR with Added Bonus of HD Video
by Mullet from England on 2009-03-02
As a DSLR newbie I thought long and hard about my purchase i.e. Canon/Nikon/Sony, lenses in future, accessories etc. and eventually settled for the D90 VR Kit.
After a month of casual use familiarising with the innumerable settings I have to say I am hugely impressed with the user-friendly design and image quality. The default settings are sensible and capture great images, but when you want to take control the camera allows you to do so with minimal fuss. As a beginner I especially liked the info button which explains the various menu options in more detail.
The LCD screen offers amazing clarity with 4x the resolution of most of its nearest price point rivals, making the live view option a real advantage when composing images. The only issue I found with this was the lack of a live histogram to check exposure but as this can be viewed after capture perhaps more an inconvenience than a real problem.
The kit lens provided is great for most general scenarios offering acceptable wide angle and zoom options but be aware that for Macro photography or sports for example you will need to expand your lens set and invest in a proper flashgun and tripod etc etc so if you're on a limited budget consider a cheaper body and invest in the glass instead.
HD Video is also a nice option but since there's no autofocus and it only receives mono sound the usability is limited for advanced shooting. But considering there is only one other DSLR camera which currently offers HD video (and that's a Pro level Canon comfortably costing four figures) you have to recognise this is an added bonus rather than a disappointment.
On the software side this package is a bit of a let down. Nikon do not provide their own full image editing program in the same vein as Canon, and the file transfer tool was clunky to install and didn't even recognise my camera as a device. Coupled with the baffling decision to not allow the D90 to be recognised as a USB flash device, I was left having to buy a card reader to transfer data. This wasn't actually a bad idea anyway, as I find this method much more user friendly. As an existing Photoshop CS3 user and with my card reader costing just £15, I hardly felt the impact of the sub-par software, but it's a consideration if on a budget. Also note that Adobe RAW support only exists on Photoshop CS4 for the D90, so if using a previous version like me, you'll need a .dng converter which, fortunately, is free from Adobe.
Overall, the minor niggles don't come close to detracting from the quality of the main product.
