THE D90 ROCKS!! Mar 21, 2010
I was so tired of junky point & shoot cameras! The batteries were always dead, and when they did work, they take too long to startup and the pictures were terrible to boot. I purchased the D90 because I wanted to best. Price is an indicator of quality, and you truly get what you pay for.

The D90 is my first DSLR camera. I am a complete newbie and have no idea what it takes to make a good picture. I have been using it in auto-mode, and the pictures coming from it are stunning. I'm starting to learn the menus and other features, so far so good. Some of the high points of this camera are:

*Excellent quality kit lens
*Awesome 3" LCD screen
*Excellent battery life
*In-Camera picture editing
*Quick button access to many functions without going through menus
*Startup is *instant*
*Shooting is incredibly fast - ready for another shot almost instantly
*Easy enough for a newbie, enough features for a pro.

There are only a few negatives I can think of which are:

*Big, heavy camera
*Requires a commitment to learn the DSLR system
*Auto focus in LiveView mode is too slow
*No auto focus in movie mode
*Makes you want to buy other stuff like tri-pods camera bags, and extra lenses :-)

I spent a lot of time researching before deciding on the D90. The D90 is a bit spendy, but I think it's worth it. Buy the best the first time, and you won't have to upgrade later.

greater starter DSLR Mar 15, 2010
Bought with the kit lens as an early Christmas gift to myself - and started taking some great pictures right away just on the automatic mode. Have been learning the M/A/P modes now, with pretty nice results. Wanting better low light performance to capture moving toddlers preferably without flash, I was trying to decide between the Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras and the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G SIC SW Prime Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras (not the Nikon 50mm f/1.4D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras with noiser motor), and to justify the extra hundreds to go from f/1.8 to f/1.4. Instead, because the 50 mm is really 75 mm given the 1.5 Dx crop factor, which is way too telephoto for indoor shots in my house, I got the Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras and have been very happy because it acts like a 50 mm prime and is an unbeatable combination of speed and price at f/1.8 and about two hundred dollars. I still think the kit lens is useful for the range, especially for outdoor shots when low light is not a problem. Back to the camera itself, it is like all DSLRs bulky and mildly obtrusive at events as compared to a compact or subcompact that fits in a shirt pocket, but that is the price for better pictures. A 16GB card will hold tons of RAW and up to 4300 jpgs. Video sucks because of the lack of auto focus, so it's okay for very short clips with little motion, not longer or larger scenes. Still, I think it's worth the price to have video for those moments when just a few seconds of video will capture the essence of what is happening, which would have otherwise been missed trying to switch to a camcorder (not that I would carry both at the same time). My only regret would be not willing to splurge for a full frame camera - yet.

Great Camera not Camcorder Mar 14, 2010
I have owned this camera for 4 months now and am very happy with it so far. I am a first time DSLR owner and decided to buy this camera based on the customer review and consumer reports top rating. I haven't talked to anyone that says this is not a great camera. There is a lot to learn about this camera for first time SLR owners but after reading a few books on the features and options it's pretty easy to get the hang of. The LCD is nice and big on the back for image review, camera has a very nice feel to it in your had. Isn't very heavy until you put on a big lens (the lens it comes with is great.) However don't buy this camera because you think the HD video will be great to have. There is no auto focus and if you are shooting anything that is moving you will be disappointed. I have found that the only way to get good video with this camera is with the use of a tripod and to shoot relatively stationary subjects. Also I would recommend getting the 50mm 1.8d lens for shooting indoor portrait photography. Cheap lens (around $100) that produces great for indoor low light situations. I haven't found any downfall to buying this camera so far and don't expect to in the future. Photography is just a hobby however and wouldn't consider myself anywhere near an experienced photographer.

My first Nikon, and what a beauty! Mar 14, 2010
I have owned Minolta cameras most of my life, transitioning to Sony when the bought the brand. The switch to Nikon was not made lightly, but the overwhelming number of lenses available along with the reputation won me over.

I have to say it is a terrific product. Built very well, works flawlessly. I now have more camera than I can handle - well, I guess that is to say a camera I look forward to growing into.

I have no technical info for you - no doubt there is plenty of that information available.

This is a wonderful purchase and one that will provide years of enjoyment.

I love this camera Mar 14, 2010
I've been a Canon owner for years and this is my first Nikon. The D90's look and feel is super. The kit lens is a very versatile lens producing good photos. I purchased the Nikkor 70-300mm with the camera to give me a wide margin of focal lengths for closeup and nature shots. I like them all. I think I'll even use the HD video feature which I've never done before. Very high quality.
