Product Description Fusing 12.3-megapixel image quality inherited from the award-winning D300 with groundbreaking features, the D90s breathtaking, low-noise image quality is further advanced with EXPEED image processing. Split-second shutter response and continuous shooting at up to 4.5 frames-per-second provide the power to capture fast action and precise moments perfectly, while Nikons exclusive Scene Recognition System contributes to faster 11-area autofocus performance, finer white balance detection and more. The D90 delivers the control passionate photographers demand, utilizing comprehensive exposure functions and the intelligence of 3D Color Matrix Metering II. 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 D90s cinematic-quality 24-fps HD D-Movie mode. Reviews I love all of the features of the D90. I was disappointed with the seemingly limited-selection of lenses that were available with the D40, which was the main reason that I got the D90 instead. I really enjoy the screen on top of the camera, it is a lot easier to see settings at a glance. For my level of photography interest, I don't think that I will ever outgrow this camera. The only problem I have had so far with this camera is that when I am trying to hold the camera with just my right hand, often times the palm of my hand opens up the door to the data card. I just hope that it never happens at a time when the camera is processing an image. I wish it had some sort of lock on it. I needed a replacement for my old D70s and after a lot of research including D300, D200 and comparable Canon cameras, I decided to go for the D90. It basically does everything the D300 does (I used the D300 from my father for awhile) for a much lower price and you get the lighter and smaller body as well. In term of sturdiness, it is on par with the D70s. It might not be as solid as semi-pro cameras (where they use magnesium alloy and seal everything to protect from rain/humidity/dust) but it feels very sturdy: it's build to last. Images quality is at least as good as D300 and much better than the D200. I didn't buy the kit because I already had a couple lenses and because the 18-105 VR is nothing special. It's better to invest in a good lens that you can resale later than buying a cheap one with plastic mount that nobody will ever want to buy from you. Remember that your camera won't be worth a penny in 3 years but your lens will still be worth 70-100% of today's new price. Better go for the nikkor 16-85 VR + 70-300 VR or nikkor 18-200 VR. The 18-50 2.8 from sigma is actually a very good lens (fast and small) as well for a very reasonable price. Bottom line, you can't go wrong with this camera and because of its small body, you won't hesitate to take it everywhere with you. Received within three days of order using UPS ground. Packed well, all components included per advertisement. Very pleased with the camera. Have owned several Nikon's (going back to an old F years ago.) Was able to use my existing lenses, no problems with the product being a refurb. Highly recommend to anyone. The D90 is a good camera that captures high resolution images as well as basic .MOV video files. The D90 is essentially a maturing of the old D70/D70s line with 12 MP sensor vice 6 MP, and a 3" LCD screen vice 2" for the D70s. The D90 has improved auto focus over the D70/D70s. The live view is not what I anticipated in that prior to taking a still image the mirror has to be released to the down position before being retracted a second time and then exposing the sensor. This obviously introduces delays and in some cases undesirable vibrations. Missing on the D90, but present on the D200, is the two step mirror up option for taking photos where the mirror is first retracted, virbations are allowed to dampen, and a second command releases the electronic shutter to capture the image. This is important for longer exposures and situations where a high magnification lens (e.g. 800-1200mm)is used on a tripod. Also missing from the D90 is a user defined time-lapse video capture mode, similar to what the Nikon P6000 provides. It would be a big benefit to include a 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 second user selectable inter-frame delay option for taking time lapse videos of flowers blossoming and other instances where time needs to be compressed. Despite the missed engineering opportunities, the D90 is a good still image camera which should provide users with many years of capturing memorable moments in their lives.
