Nikon D90 Review And Buying Guide
The D90 is Nikon’s follow up to the successful D80. Whilst the Nikon D90 looks similar to the D80 the camera contains a range of new features, including a new CMOS sensor, a large 3-inch VGA screen and the inclusion of the world’s first DSLR movie mode. The new features make the Nikon D90 a highly competitive kit in the entry level SLR market.
The Nikon D90 contains one of the best viewfinders you’ll find on any APS-C Camera, easily putting it above any camera in this class. The 12.3mp resolution is over 2million pixels bigger than D80 and will give exceptional image quality which Nikon hopes will raise the expectations of the DSLR market.
The Nikon D90 also contains a new feature set containing some very good improvements. Continuous shooting has been speeded up to allow 4.5 images to be caught per second, which when coupled with the split-second shutter response, will allow you to capture any action shots and impulsive images. The Nikon D90 also contains a faster and more intelligent 11 point auto focus which is aided by Nikons exclusive Scene Recognition System, which will give clear accurate shots in all conditions.
Furthermore the Nikon D90 camera uses the automatic Chromatic Aberration correction, just one of the fantastic options taken from D300. This will instantly improve the results of every JPEG, regardless of the lens used, with no effort from you.
Nikon have also made a very big move including the first movie mode on a DSLR computer. The new video capability is a very good function, allowing you to capture video in HD cinematic quality. You can also configure your own movie menus and settings which makes the new function very easy to use.
Despite the inclusion of the world’s first DSLR movie mode the Nikon D90 is very much a photographer’s camera. The D90 builds on the old D80 which was perfectly suited to the “enthusiastic” photographer market and with the new features and options taken from the advanced D300 the Nikon D90 is a very good piece of kit. The quality of images when compared with the, twice as expensive, Nikon D300 is very good, in fact it is quite difficult to pick the images apart and when you take into account that the D300 is considered one of the best semi-professional cameras on the market, this becomes very high praise indeed, in fact it is hard to think of a better enthusiast level camera than the Nikon D90.
