Fantastic world of Digital Photography!
- Reviewd on: 3/13/2010 12:00:00 AM By: Dean W. Byrns
I have always been a follower of Nikon cameras. I made my first purchase of a Nikon FE in 1978 as a teenager. I then moved up to the Nikon F-3 Hp. After spending a few years evolving into the digital world by using cheaper digital point and shoot cameras and being afraid to spend a larger amount on a "real" Digital SLR I finally took the plunge. After reading reviews and doing other research I chose the Nikon D-90 with the 18-105mm VR Nikkor Lens. I was not disapointed! We have made leaps and bounds in the world of photography! It is everything I dreamed about in years past. The camera is easy to use and I continue to learn more each time I use it. Just expect to take great pictures right off the bat and continue in your creativity. The camera will not be what limits you in your artistic photography! Way to go Nikon!!

Great DSLR
- Reviewd on: 3/10/2010 12:00:00 AM By: Mike Brashier
I love it. Works great for me.

I have the 18-55 lens, works great.
I have the 50mm prime lens, works really great. Especially in low light. see - [...]
I have the 55-200 lens, works ok. Bad in low light and/or fast action.
I wish it had auto focus in video mode and I wish the underwater housing for it was not so expensive.

It makes me look like an experienced photographer
- Reviewd on: 3/7/2010 12:00:00 AM By: William S. Putnam
I purchased a Nikon D90 and received the Camera and 18-105 telephoto lens on December 23, 2010, and subsequently purchased an additional 70-300 telephoto lens and some filters and began taking pictures. The picture quality is excellent with either standard or fine quality and with the exception of taking a picture with too much backlight the quality of my 300 or so pictues are flawless. I usually set the shots to auto and let the camera do the work although the camera creates some great effects on aperature or shutter priority depending on focal depth or shutter speed sensitivity. I have used the camera for two months and will update with further comments as time goes on. In short it has been a great tool and will let you know how it performs over time. The D90 makes me look like an experienced photographer when I show my prints or view shots on my computer.

Great camera - highly recommend
- Reviewd on: 3/5/2010 12:00:00 AM By: R. Habermehl
This camera has more features and capabilities than you will ever need! Fortunatley it takes great photos in automatic mode too! The 18-105 lens is useful for almost any situation. I also bought the 300 lens, but rarely use it. Before you buy a DSLR though, I suggest you consider how you will use it. My best photos are spontaneous pics taken with my Olympus Stylus 710 or Nikon Coolpix. I can always have one of these cameras with me, and can be taking pictures in an instant. The DSLRs are bulky and usually in the carrying case in the car or at home. It takes a few minutes to get it ready unless you already have it out on a picture-taking expedition. I always have one of the compacts with me, and the D90 nearby.

While you are buying, I suggest you go ahead and get a good carrying case or backpack, basic UV filter to protect the lens, and a lens cleaning kit. Also suggest you go for the larger memory card...8G plus if you can.

I almost went for the D5000 because it has some neat features not found on the D90, but at the end of the day I felt like the D90 was more robust, and had a better feel to it. I also considered the Canon TSi, but again felt the D90 was a better constructed camera. (the Canon lenses didn't seem to operate as smoothly or precisely as the Nikon's)

I've had my D90 for a little over a month, have taken lots of great photos, and do not regret spending the extra $!

I am very happy with the purchase. The D90 works exceptionally effective and to my expectations. The picture quality is amazing and nothing like I have seen before from my own photographs taken.
