Nikon D90 digital SLR

 

Nikon's new pro-sumer digital SLR is the first to include HD video capability.

The Nikon D90 is a logical progression from the D80, and covers the middle ground between the consumer models like the D40X and the new D60, and the professional models like the D300 and the D700. It has the creative versatility, performance and...

Nikon D90 review

 

The D90 is Nikon's new enthusiasts' DSLR, but is there really a big enough gap between the amateur D60 and the pro-spec D300?

Takes fantastic pictures ; Impressive usability ; High quality build ; Generous feature set

Pricey ; Fixed position display

For £850 you can get you cameras with pro levels of build quality, features and resolution. But while it's not the best in every respect, the D90 blitzes the rest overall, partly because of its huge list of features and partly because it's so...

Nikon D90 DSLR camera

 

Nikon's DSLR boffins have been busy over the last year, introducing a range of new cameras including the top end D3 and the D300 last August; the D60 arrived in January this year and then the FX D700 (FX, Nikon's moniker for its full frame DSLRs) in...

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 is stuffed so full of new kit and clever tweaks I could be here for another week writing about them, suffice to say I’ve covered the major ones, but it is certainly no plain upgrade, this a serious new camera in its own right and well worth...

Nikon D90 review

 

Then Canon's higher-resolution Canon EOS 5D Mark II stole the Nikon D90's limelight.

All things considered, the Nikon D90 is a very capable camera. At its present asking price it offers fair value for the consumer interested in aiming their image-making sights higher.

The successor to Nikon's celebrated D80 has arrived. Can the D90 maintain the class-leading standards?

Nikon D90

 

In its compact body the Nikon D90 offers a true concentrate of technology with a great innovation for a D-SLR: the possibility of making HD videos. Its CMOS sensor offers the definition and quality of the successful D300 for a much lower price. A true...

Nikon D90, the Review

 

I admire Nikon for their work on the D90, which is as powerful as a 40D or 50D, and if I didn't already own many Canon mount lenses I would REALLY consider moving to the D90 for its photo capabilities. Fast, light, well made… the D90 a great camera for...

Nikon D90 review

 

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 to...
