The kit lens might be big but it’s not as sharp as similar optics from Canon. And the movie mode still needs some work – you’re stuck with the same exposure throughout the clip
Sound is only mono
And you have to focus manually
Too &nd...

Scene modes not needed on a camera of this type
Middling kit lens
Poor HDMI output implementation
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
On the verge of being too small; battery grip helps.
We were very surprised by the D90’s quality, both in build and image output. It is a camera that, while tailored for the amateur market, in a professional’s hands could continue to bring home a genuine income, day in and out. The...

Abstract: On its launch the Nikon D90 caused something of a stir with its near-HD movie capture mode … more of that later I worked with the D90 with the f3.5/18-105mm VR-stabilised kit lens fitted and at no time found the kilo plus weight a bit of a burden. Mai...

Abstract: The Nikon D90 provides definitively "All you need to fuel your passion for photography" and a little bit more. The consumer DSLR camera from Nikon scores already after the first look through the exemplary viewfinder and gives an first impression of ...
Nikon has built on the success of their popular D80 from 2006, and added a host of new technologies and features that are more relevant for the current amateur dSLR market. Among these new additions are the D90's 12.3-megapixel DX format image sensor, Nikon's EXPEED image processing system, Large 3.0-inch LCD with 920,000 pixels, more powerful built-in flash...
Abstract: It’s déjà vu all over again. As quaint as it now sounds, the Nikon N90s was the first autofocus 35mm SLR that I owned and I have many fond memories of using and capturing film images with that camera. I wrote a review of the N90s for Shutterbug’s long...
