Customer Reviews

an outstanding camera
This is my first dSLR. I have used digital point-and-shoots for years and have always tried to take great pictures. We've always gotten Canons and been very happy. I used to have a Canon PowerShot S2. That had 10x optical zoom and was a heftier camera. Using that (and using it till it wore out, actually) was what convinced me that my next step should be a dSLR. I researched it extensively, and wasn't sure which to get until I heard that Nikon's new D90 would have video capture, something I was loathe to give up with the point-and-shoot.

At that point, it was simply a matter of getting over the price (I had been looking at the lower entry-levels). I was compelled by the arguments of Ken Rockwell that the D40 was more than most people need. True enough, and you will need to judge your own purposes in your purchase. As my intention is to develop photography into a hobby and I would like to be able to use it to make a little money on the side, I didn't want to get a camera that I would outgrow in a couple months.

I have been extremely happy with this camera. Now, much of my reaction I'm sure would be to any dSLR camera and discovering the many things I could do with it over a point-and-shoot. I love the speed - it focuses very quickly and then takes shots as fast as you can click the button. I know this is a general dSLR feature, but wow, I was blown away at how great that was. The camera itself is just plain sexy and a joy to use. The LCD is brilliantly clear and bright. The controls are logical and simple. The ergonomics are great (another reason I wanted the larger mid-level model over the D40; this is a lot easier to hold, if heaver).

I could not be happier with my purchase.

Awesome!
I just got the D90 two days ago as an upgrade from my D50. It takes amazing outdoor, daytime action shots. My kids at soccer practice were crisp, frozen perfectly mid kick. When combined with a speedflash, it takes amazing bounce-flash shots--perfect clarity, beautiful colors, no shadows, natural. I haven't used it in dark settings without the speedflash...ever since I began using an external flash, I have never gone back...and I only use the SB400, but get amazing shots.

The 18-105 lens is okay (I give it maybe 6 or 7 out of 10). Very light, fairly versatile, and just a hair soft maybe. I will buy the 18-200 soon just to avoid some of the lens switching. If I weren't so hyped on getting this camera I would have waited to buy "body only" with the 18-200 lens for added versatility.

I don't normally do in-camera editing...I use photoshop...but this camera does some neat stuff. Correcting red-eye and picture alignment--very easy. All menu options are incredibly easy. My kids were highly amused by the fish-eye adjustment, though I doubt I will ever use that.

Fits with a little extra room in the lowepro a200 slingshot with the kit lens attached.

All in all, it is a JOY to take pictures with this camera. My wife is probably a little jealous that I haven't parted with it for the last 38 hours or so!
