  • Abstract:  While it is not the first digital camera to offer HD movie capture, it has still been an eagerly awaited feature for the Nikon D90. Limited to a maximum five-minute run time, no focus change and monaural sound, the video-taking options won't bowl you over...

  • The D90’s body is much like the old D80’s. It’s fatter and chunkier than the D60’s and easier to get a good grip on. It has twin control dials, which may be confusing at first, but is much better when making aperture and shutter speed adjustments.Handl...

  • Whether you’re just making the move to a digital SLR or trading up from a budget shooter, the D90 holds your hand where it’s useful and gives you a kick up the arse when you need it. Competent, classy and well worth the money, almost for the m...

  • From reading this review you may have realised that I was very impressed with the D90, and this is from someone who has never bought or owned a Nikon camera. My allegiance has always been elsewhere but the D90 could easily change this. The camera is ai...
