Customer Reviews

YOU WILL LOVE THIS DSLR!
Just do yourself a big favor and just get this camera... happy days will soon come... Excellent control and user interface layout... low light photography with the kit lens alone is a knock-out!... 4.5 frames/sec. got you covered for action shots... the HD video feature is a plus... but you'll be turned off by the mediocre audio quality... Feature by feature the best pro-sumer DSLR to date... Easily, the camera which bridges the consumer and professional photographers... so why are you still sitting there?... go get it!

Moved from D40x to D90 and all I can say is WOW!!!
I was going back and forth between the 90 and the 300. Obviously the 300 is a slightly more professional camera with a better frame, faster shutter, better autofocus, etc., but the D90 is so close to it and comes with a slightly better sensor and is $500 cheaper. Also, it has video. Now, before you stop reading because I mentioned that, let me make this statement. Video had nothing whatsoever to do with my decision. I had no interest in using a DSLR for video. But now that I've played with it, I think it is incredible. Now, it won't replace my camcorder but it will allow me to capture brief (<5 min) videos of things my child does that I would otherwise have to capture by switching physical cameras. The video quality if frankly amazing. The sound could be a little better, but is more than adequate. Now, on to the photography portion. The image quality between my D40x and the D90 is certainly noticeable. Pictures are clearer and more vibrant. All of the features that I used to have to access through the menu system (bracketing, image quality, burst mode, exposure, etc) are all available quickly using buttons and wheels on the camera. This is making a world of difference. The kit lens isn't the best by any stretch of the imagination but I have to be honest - it is better than I was expecting. I will try to post more as I continue to use it. But if you're considering moving up to a D90, DO IT!!! You won't regret it.

Beware of D90 sporadic 'F--' Error
Great Camera..But i get sporadic 'F--' Error in the middle of photo shoot and i will have to remove the lens and remount it to fix the problem. Unfortunately my 30 day Amazon return window elapsed and i am stuck with a faulty $1,300 so called Great D90 camera. Nikon said it would fix it since i am covered under the warranty after that it will come out my pocket.
I am the second person reporting the same 'F--' Error problem in Amazon.com. I have given one star because i have to give atleast one to Post this review.
