Reviews 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. I love expanding my knowledge of photography and honing my skill with this camera! It's my first digital SLR. I was nervous about the purchase price but wanted a good camera. I felt I'd learned to maximize the capabilities of my Lumix DMC-TZ5 and wanted more functionality and manual control. My husband encouraged me, giving me the first few hundred to cover the cost. I decided to purchase the Nikon D90 after spending weeks looking at reviews, holding cameras, checking prices, shopping for accessories. It's been two months and I'm still very, very happy! The camera feels great in my hand. It's just a little heavier than the Canon T1i, the grip seems a little deeper. It seems sturdy, professional. I'm not big on reading all the directions right away so it's nice that many of the controls are intuitive or easy to figure out after playing around a little while. I've successfully added and changed lenses, figured out what size filter is needed (67mm for the kit lens!), and installed the UV filter. I've shot photos with and without the LCD. I've tried multiple automatic and played with manual controls. I'm ready to read the manual and figure out what all those initials along the mode dial mean! I have a lot to learn about photography and I'm very happy to have the D90 to learn on! It's possible I would also have been happy with a lower-end model DSLR like the Nikon D3000 or the Canon XSi, but every salesperson I spoke with (different days and different stores) suggested I'd be happier with the D90 because I wouldn't "outgrow" it after a few years. I think I'll be able to say that this camera is still "the one" for me five or seven years from now! As a youngster, I consistently photographed my dog and my family. I switched from a very basic 110 to a low-end 35mm. I later took advantage of a drug store refillable 35mm camera and had them make digital copies of everything. I was ecstatic that my husband had an awesome (at the time) high-end Nikon CoolPix with rotating lens (I think it was a 995). I used it constantly! We replaced it with one of the cutting edge (at the time - lol) compact digital cameras - a Casio Exlim. For years, I've been the only person from my family and my hubby's family that has photographed all birthdays, holidays, and special get-togethers. I'm constantly photographing my pets (white cats, tabby cat, blonde dog, tan dogs) and critters in the yard (some great bird, bee, caterpillar, squirrel, raccoon, lizards, oh my!). Trial and error seem to have made me a little better photographer. I didn't want to study photography in detail, though, until I had a really good camera. The Nikon D90 is a really good camera! It makes me want to master all the basics and learn advanced techniques so my interest can really blossom! If you can spend the money on this camera, I think you, too, will be very happy with your purchase! I bought this and then returned it. I like the movable viewing screen on the D5000 much better. Also the lens connection is plastic. My nephew bout the D90 and had to pay a fortune to get it repaired less thn 60 days later. As an aside. BE CAREFUL IF YOU BUY THIS THROUGH AMAZON. For two months they told me they had received and were processing my return. Then said it would be any day. 30 days later when I still had no credit I called again and they said they had no record of it being returned. It's 5 months later and I'm still out $1183 trying to correspond with mythical people. The problem is that Amazon only accepts emails through a form. And they don't copy you on the form. So you have no proof that they ever received what they sent you. Then they send you a response and you answer it, but get an automated form back that says they can't receive emails. A REAL HORROR STORY.
