The editors liked
The low light capabilities of this camera are similar to the D300
Which means ISO1600 is the new ISO400. The image quality at high ISO settings is breathtaking with very little noise evident in even the trickiest bits of open shadow. Nikon make low li...
First SLR to shoot video
Great noise control
Feature-rich
Brilliant screen
The editors didn't like
Presumably it is in the camera firmware and doesn’t cost anything
But does a serious DLSR really need to have a slideshow creator
With music
Built in?
Live View autofocus is still slow
Video footage suffers from wobbling and contrast issues
Good image/color quality, Good AF and shutter performance, Good build quality, Good high ISO performance, HD video capability, Good flash performance/recycle times,
HD video time limited, No AF for video, Limitations of current technology mean video is via Live View only,
Folks who've been paying attention to Nikon DSLRs for the past several years have noticed a trend: a high performance Nikon comes out, followed some months later by a lower priced camera that offers a chunk of the performance at a fraction of the price...
Abstract: The Nikon D90 (Review, Specs, Recent News, $899.99) disappointed us with most of its video performance. While it did capture wonderful colors in low light, it couldnt compete against dedicated HD camcorders in most shooting conditions. That doesnt me...
Abstract: Nikon D90 Video The Nikon D90s video capabilities are unusual enough (the first SLR to offer video recording) that we felt they deserved a page of their own, to cover them. Resolution & Recording TimeThe Nikon D90s movie resolutions include 1...
First DSLR with movie recording ability, Can use optical zoom during filming and apply other settings, Excellent image quality, Good low-light performance, Fast speeds
No autofocus in movie mode
The D90 isn’t just another DSLR joining Nikon’s Editors’ Choice–winning lineup (although it certainly delivers the same superb image quality); it’s also the first DSLR in the world to record video. Although the recording itse...
Exceptional feature set for its price point in the market, Worlds first SLR capable of recording HD-resolution video, New kit lens has good optical quality, much better than average for kit lenses, New kit lens offers VR (image stabilization), Camera ...
quot;Rolling-shutter" motion artifacts in HD movie recording are distracting, No provision for external audio input for movie recording, Autofocus in Live View mode is slow, limited to contrast-detect only; no phase-detect AF option with Live Vie...
Im starting to feel strange about saying Nikons done it again, but it looks like they have. The Nikon D90 looks like a genuinely excellent camera for the intermediate photographer, and a great choice as a full-featured, light weight body for those wh...
The Nikon D90 is a difficult camera to rate. When viewed as a traditional SLR, it is simply an excellent camera that I very much enjoyed using. All the frequently used functions have direct controls assigned to them, be it aperture, shutter speed, I...
Movie mode has its limitations, fiddly acess to AF modes
Even if we ignore the camera’s movie function, Nikon has done a mighty fine job in delivering such a camera as the D90. The D80 proved to be a successful model for Nikon, and inheriting the finer points of its more advanced models has allowed Nikon...
Build and handling, Superb image quality, Ease of use, Screen size, AF performance (non-Live View), White Balance control, EXPEED image processing and noise control, HD movies.
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.
The D90 represents is a brilliant upgrade on the D80, worries over dynamic range need addressing but this is a new Nikon certainly capable of stunning results. In terms of pricing, looking at the body only price, it also represents stunning value for...
Wonderful quality stills, Minimal noise at high ISOs, Great burst mode, Excellent kit lens
No AF in video mode, *
The D90 as a camera is terrific. It focuses quickly, has zippy 4.5 fps burst mode, has more adjustments than you could possible handle in a lifetime plus it takes fine photos with barely a hint of noise. As a camcorder, the D90 doesn’t make it. ...
Abstract: With so much activity in the lower end of the digital SLR market, were especially pleased to see the D90 combine accessibility to a wide range of photographers, regardless of their photographic skills or background, with consistently excellent lab te...
