The Nikon D90 is the successor to the extremely rated Nikon D80. After testing the D90 I must say that this newer model is a remarkable upgrade from the older model. It weighs at a miniature more than 1 pound, which is a miniature heavier than digital Slrs of its class. Nevertheless if feels ample and has a sturdy build.
The Nikon D90 was a delight to use. It has a very comfortable grip and the controls are well laid out. On the back, there is a 3" Tft Lcd screen. Most of the controls are laid out on the left and right side of the screen.
The Nikon D90 can also capture Hd movies (720p) at 24fps. Although this is a cool feature, it does have unavoidable limitations. For instance, you can only report Hd movies for 5 minutes at one go. The exposure level also can't be adjusted while recording videos. Despite that, the Hd video recording is still a nice novelty highlight to have. The photos taken have very spoton colors and well saturated.
In continuous shooting mode, the Nikon D90 can administrate 4fps. This is pretty good for a digital Slr of its class. It is also a quick digital Slr model. From a cold start, it takes just 0.2 seconds before it is ready to take its first shot. As for its shot-to-shot time, it clocked in a just 0.6 seconds. All in all, this is an extremely impressive mid-range digital Slr model for its price. Currently, the Nikon D90 retails for just 39 each, an excellent buy considering its highlight set and performance.
