Stunning results come to life on a 3-inch 920,000-dot color LCD monitor, providing accurate image review, Live View composition and brilliant playback of the D90's cinematic-quality 24-fps HD D-Movie mode. Outfit includes the 5.8x AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED lens with VR image stabilization and legendary Nikkor optical quality. Nikon D90 DX Digital SLR Highlights Nikon Digital SLR image quality The D90 incorporates a newly developed DX-format CMOS image sensor with technology directly inherited from the D300, Nikon's DX-format flagship. With its 12.3 effective megapixels and extraordinarily high signal-to-noise ratio, the D90 delivers low-noise images with detail and tonal gradation beyond your expectations, while Nikon's Integrated Dust Reduction System works to free image-degrading dust particles from the sensor's optical low-pass filter. Nikon's comprehensive EXPEED technology is engineered to make the most of the sensor's rich, 12.3-megapixel data. The result--color, detail and high-speed processing inspired by the groundbreaking D300. The D90's image-processing engine produces high-resolution pictures at remarkable speeds, better enabling high-speed continuous shooting. EXPEED also contributes to the outstanding performance of other powerful features, including Live View and the new Face Detection System. The D90 captures up to 4.5 images per second. Accurate 11-point autofocus is now even faster and more intelligent, aided by Nikon's exclusive Scene Recognition System. The unique Nikon 420-pixel 3D Color Matrix II Metering system, now enhanced by EXPEED image processing technologies, delivers extraordinary exposure accuracy -- immediately evident when reviewing images on the D90's super-density 3-inch 920,000-dot color LCD monitor. New D-Movie Mode Features 720p HD cinematic quality A new idea for D-SLRs, the D90 offers a movie function, allowing you to shoot movies in three different motion JPEG formats: 320 x 216 pixels, 640 x 424 pixels and 1,280 x 720 pixels. Now you can capture life's moving moments with added drama by using many of Nikon's NIKKOR lenses, including the AF DX Fisheye 10.5mm f/2.8G ED and the Micro-NIKKOR lenses. The shallow depth of field can give your movies a more creative and emotional impact. An additional benefit is the D90 image sensor, which is much larger than a typical camcorder for higher image quality and exceptional high ISO performance during low-light shooting. 5.8x AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR included Famous Nikkor optical quality in a compact, versatile design, featuring Nikon VR image stabilization. Continuous shooting as fast as 4.5 frames-per-second The D90 captures crucial moments thanks to its impressive 0.15-second start-up time, 65-millisecond shutter-release time lag (CIPA standard) and ability to shoot at 4.5 frames a second for up to 100 shots*. Low noise ISO sensitivity from 200 to 3200 The D90 gives you the freedom to shoot in a remarkably wide variety of lighting conditions, including dimly lit scenes, without worrying about image-degrading noise. ISO can be raised as high as Hi 1 (ISO 6400 equivalent) or lowered to Lo 1 (ISO 100 equivalent). 3-inch super-density 920,000-dot color LCD monitor The D90's 3-in., approx. 920k-dot LCD monitor provides unprecedented quality of image display. A wide 170-degree viewing angle makes it easy to confirm focus after shooting or during Live View. Built-in image sensor cleaning Effective 4-frequency, ultrasonic sensor cleaning frees image degrading dust particles from the sensor's optical low pass filter. 11-point AF system with Face Priority Thanks to Multi-CAM 1000 autofocus module, the D90's 11-point AF system has fast and precise autofocus coverage across the frame with the most sensitive AF sensor operating from the center. In addition, the D90 has versatile AF-area modes to handle most shooting situations. The center focus point can be switched from normal to wide according to the movement of the subject. One-button Live View With the D90's Live View function, you can shoot effectively without looking through the viewfinder. Simply press dedicated Live View button for instant access. Three contrast-detect AF modes let you focus on any point in the frame. Nikon 3D Color Matrix Metering II with Scene Recognition System Nikon's renowned 420-pixel RGB 3D Color Matrix Metering II, teamed with the exclusive Scene Recognition System, evaluates images, referencing an on-board database of over 30,000 photographic scenes, for unmatched exposure accuracy. Advance Scene Modes When you're not sure which camera settings are appropriate, simply rely on the Advanced Scene Modes. Just turn the mode dial to the appropriate icon: Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports or Night Portrait. Unlike traditional scene modes, the D90 will automatically optimize the exposure, image processing, Active D-Lighting, and Picture Control to get the most out of your subject matter. What's more, the D90 has exceptional low-noise performance and accurately adjusts the camera settings whether VR (Vibration Reduction) is activated or not, so you can expect beautiful, crisp images, even in many low-light scenes. Auto Active D-Lighting Details in the shadows and highlighted areas of your photos are often lost when strong lighting increases the contrast between the bright and dark areas of your image. Nikon's unique Active D-Lighting technology accurately restores these important details by localizing tone control while you shoot. Choose from four levels, including the new Extra High. Active D-Lighting can be used manually or set to Auto mode. It is also possible to bracket your pictures to get one with Active D-Lighting and one without. Durable, high-precision shutter Reliability is not a luxury--it's a necessity. That's why Nikon subjected numerous D90 shutter mechanisms to grueling 100,000-cycle shutter-release tests with the unit fully assembled in the camera. Built-in, Pop-up Flash The D90 is equipped with Nikon's i-TTL flash control, renowned for consistently accurate and balanced flash exposures. The built-in flash has an 18mm lens coverage and works as a wireless commander, controlling up to two independent groups of an unlimited number of remote Speedlights and providing incredible creative lighting control--on location or in the studio. In-camera image editing Creative freedom stems from exclusive in-camera image editing, featuring Fisheye effect, Straighten and Distortion Control as well as D-Lighting, Red-eye Reduction, Image Overlay, Monochrome and more. HDMI Compatible You can enjoy both still images and movies shot with the D90 via HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) with the global-standard digital A/V signal transfer. HDMI Mini connector is employed. GPS geo-tagging The optional GP-1 GPS unit provides automatic real-time geo-tagging.

Review: So Far, So Good - Reseached extensively and thought long and hard about what to get as an upgrade to my Nikon P90. Came down to the D90, the D7000 or the Canon t2i. The Canon had a good set of features but felt lightweight and plastic-y in person. The D7000 is a beauty but, at $1,500, was more than I was willing to pay for an upgrade. The D90 offered the best overall package at a decent price, $920. Auto mode is as easy as any other camera, video is OK, better than what I expected given some of the negative comments I have seen on here. Video is a bonus in this camera anyway and is not a reason to buy. The photo quality is terrific, great depth and clarity. Seems like a camera you can keep for the long haul and not outgrow, lots to learn and play with. The D90 has heft and is kind of heavy but feels like a tank compared with some others. Keeping my fingers crossed about the much talked about lens connection error message problems. Camera was ordered on 1/23/2011 and arrived from J & R Music and Computer on 1/25/2011. No complaints there although you cannot track the package with J & R, which can be a little disconcerting with a first time experience. The desertcart price was $130 less for the same camera on sale at the well-known big box retailer. With free shipping, how can you not buy here? 6-8-2012 UPDATE This is a serious camera and it takes great pictures. I will be learning it's features forever, no doubt. After a couple of months of shooting in all modes, I noticed that dead pixels appeared in higher ISO photos in the same spot on the images. Tried numerous "fixes" I found on the internet, but none worked. These dead pixels became increasingly annoying to me since this was a new camera. So, I dropped the camera off at Precision Camera in Connecticut, an authorized Nikon dealer, for a pixel fix while still under warranty. Camera came back about a week later from the Texas facility with the same pixel issue, as if it were never remapped or repaired. This is not an issue at lower ISO speeds and they are easily fixed in Picassa or Photoshop; they are just annoying. More should be expected from a product with the Nikon name, especially after being repaired. If I had it to do again, I would return the camera earlier and not bother with trying to repair it. But I get a lot of compliments on the photos I take and the D90 is sturdy and fun to use.
Review: Excellent camera and still comparable if not better than newer models - I've owned this thing for 4 years or so now. Nikon has introduced a few models since then, but this thing is still just about perfect for the picture taking I do. Lots of lens choices, tons of features, ergonomics just fit my hands like I designed it for myself. I've looked at the newer stuff, and for the few things they've "improved" on, I still think this was and is the best fit for me. Only reason I could ever see moving it to second camera status is if I ever decide to go full frame. I'd love too, but tough to justify the price when this D90 does such a fine job even with the reduced sensor size. Here's some points to consider if looking at one of these to buy. Its a 12.3 megapixel camera. Smallish by recent new cameras, but more than enough to print very nice pictures 11x14 or larger in some cases. If you are using it for 4x6, you will have excellent results. The camera does shoot HD video, but it is limited to the 720, it will not shoot 1080. In my experience, autofocus during video shoots leaves something to be desired. The camera, with the kit lens, 18-105, has very decent low light capabilities. Of course, the kit lens is slow, so a faster lens would improve low light capabilities. On a nice bright day, without using flash, the camera pops off 4.5 or 5 frames a second. I have used this camera a lot at the drag strip and have captured lots of great wheelie action using the continuious shooting. My daughter was also a polevaulter, and this feature allowed me to catch lots of great action shots as she went up and over the bar. I used it a few times, indoors, for high school basketball, with the 18-105 lens, it was slow and not so great. With a faster lens, excellent results indoors shooting action shots. The camera itself has lots of choices to select the type and heat range of the lighting you're shooting in, so great results are possible with incandesent, florescent, halogen, sunlight, moonlight, you name it, the camera can shoot in it. There are quite a few in camera editing functions to correct, um, operator error. LOL. Camera shoots in both color and black and white. There are various settings which allow quit, low grade snapshots, fine picture quality, and up to RAW settings. RAW allows, actually demands, that you have computer capabilities to edit the photos. RAW prints cannot be processed at your local Wal-Mart. The detail possible and editing possible in RAW is unbelievable. Be forewarned tho, RAW eats up lots of storage on your SD cards. There is an option to shoot both fine and RAW at the same time, which allows easy printing of the fine, and the capability to edit and change appearances in the RAW format. This camera has an internal focusing motor for the autofocus lens'. Nikon 3000 series does not have this feature. What does this mean? Not all lenses will autofocus on a 3000, where practically all autofocus lenses will function on the D90. There is also an auto/manual switch on the camera body which allows you to manually focus any lens attached to the camera if you desire more control than the autofocus feature allows. Speaking of lenses, the mounting design Nikon is using has been around since the late 70s. This means that some really nicely made Nikon lenses that you may have laying around from the 80s or 90s have a really good chance of working great on the D90. In the first part of my review, where I give my personal likings of the camera, I mention its a reduced sensor camera. This sorta works to your benefit. The reduced sensor has a multiplying effect on the lens rating. This is approximately 1.5 times. So, a 100mm lens on a D90 is equivalent to a 150mm lens on a full framed camera. 400mm is equal to 600mm, and so on. The camera has a nice large screen on the back to select options in the cameras menu. You can also change to live view which allows the screen to function as the eye piece. The screen is stationary, it does not tilt, swivel, flip, etc. Using it in live view also slows down the reaction of the shutter a bit. On top of the camera is a small simple screen that shows many of your settings at a glance. Using the small screen and function buttons you can switch shot quality, ISO, check battery charge, number of shots taken and number remaining on card, F stop, flash, etc. The camera also has two dials in very well placed positions. A front dial right below the shutter release, and a rear dial behind the shutter release. These dials do quite a few things, such as changing ISO, flash, and using both front and rear dials, you can change F stops and shutter speeds without pushing any other buttons first. So, for those desiring manual operation instead of auto, everything is very easy to change while looking through the eyepiece. The camera has a pretty decent built in flash and the capability of adding external flash attachments. In this review, I've only touched on a fraction of this cameras capabilities. I highly recommend this camera if you can get ahold of one new or used.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where can i get a manual for the nikon dx afsnikkor- 18-105 d90**
A: I have it with me.

**Q: Why is this camera $350 and another listing without the lens is $1600?**
A: 1600 is way too high for this camera. It is now an old model but still a great camera. With a standard lens I would probably pay up to 500. Shoot this camera brand new I bought for a little over 700. Also need to get them to give you the shutter count.

**Q: my d90 turns on and clicks as if it's taking a picture but captures nothing and my lcd screen will not turn on so i can see saved photos any ideas?**
A: Do you get images on the memory card to transfer to your PC? If so, you can deal with the camera the way it is, or get another one. It sounds like there is something major wrong with the camera but if there are good images on the memory card, that may be something you can deal with.

**Q: Can you remove the lens and change it?**
A: Yes it's a Fx format Nikon and If your referring to a D600 yes . Any Nikon starting with D can change lenses. Now the trick is stay away from D40,60 3000 and 5000 series because they need AF S series lenses with focus motors on lenses for novices who don't know how to focus or shoot manually.Even a D50 or 70 have focus motors in body.

The camera itself has lots of choices to select the type and heat range of the lighting you're shooting in, so great results are possible with incandesent, florescent, halogen, sunlight, moonlight, you name it, the camera can shoot in it. There are quite a few in camera editing functions to correct, um, operator error. LOL. Camera shoots in both color and black and white. There are various settings which allow quit, low grade snapshots, fine picture quality, and up to RAW settings. RAW allows, actually demands, that you have computer capabilities to edit the photos. RAW prints cannot be processed at your local Wal-Mart. The detail possible and editing possible in RAW is unbelievable. Be forewarned tho, RAW eats up lots of storage on your SD cards. There is an option to shoot both fine and RAW at the same time, which allows easy printing of the fine, and the capability to edit and change appearances in the RAW format. This camera has an internal focusing motor for the autofocus lens'. Nikon 3000 series does not have this feature. What does this mean? Not all lenses will autofocus on a 3000, where practically all autofocus lenses will function on the D90. There is also an auto/manual switch on the camera body which allows you to manually focus any lens attached to the camera if you desire more control than the autofocus feature allows. Speaking of lenses, the mounting design Nikon is using has been around since the late 70s. This means that some really nicely made Nikon lenses that you may have laying around from the 80s or 90s have a really good chance of working great on the D90. In the first part of my review, where I give my personal likings of the camera, I mention its a reduced sensor camera. This sorta works to your benefit. The reduced sensor has a multiplying effect on the lens rating. This is approximately 1.5 times. So, a 100mm lens on a D90 is equivalent to a 150mm lens on a full framed camera. 400mm is equal to 600mm, and so on. The camera has a nice large screen on the back to select options in the cameras menu. You can also change to live view which allows the screen to function as the eye piece. The screen is stationary, it does not tilt, swivel, flip, etc. Using it in live view also slows down the reaction of the shutter a bit. On top of the camera is a small simple screen that shows many of your settings at a glance. Using the small screen and function buttons you can switch shot quality, ISO, check battery charge, number of shots taken and number remaining on card, F stop, flash, etc. The camera also has two dials in very well placed positions. A front dial right below the shutter release, and a rear dial behind the shutter release. These dials do quite a few things, such as changing ISO, flash, and using both front and rear dials, you can change F stops and shutter speeds without pushing any other buttons first. So, for those desiring manual operation instead of auto, everything is very easy to change while looking through the eyepiece. The camera has a pretty decent built in flash and the capability of adding external flash attachments. In this review, I've only touched on a fraction of this cameras capabilities. I highly recommend this camera if you can get ahold of one new or used.
