## Description

From the Manufacturer Fusing 12.3-megapixel image quality inherited from the award-winning D300 with groundbreaking features, the D90's 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 Nikon's exclusive Scene Recognition System contributes to faster 11-area autofocus performance, finer white balance detection and more. ,br> 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 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: Great Camera - This is my first DSLR, and I couldn't be happier. I read endlessly about different cameras before I decided on the D90. In the end it came down to the D90, and Canon's 50D, mostly due to their price points. Both are truely awesome and feature packed camera's. I loved the feel of the 50D, as I have pretty large hands. The 50D is about a half inch wider than the D90, and a slightly larger grip. The D90's grip is great as well, just a little smaller. Because of this, I purchased a battery grip along with the camera (Zeikos ZE-NBG90), and it feels great. (If you're wondering why I'm only talking about Nikon and Canon, it's because both companies have an extensive range of products for all skill levels, so plenty of room for me to upgrade bodies and lenses in the future. They are also both extensively used by professional photographers, so there must be something good about them.) A few things made me ultimately buy the Nikon D90..... First, the included kit lens. Nikon includes a 18-105mm VR lens, and Canon includes a 28-135mm IS lens. Both have Vibration Reduction/Image Stabilization, and both cost about the same if you bought them separately. On a crop frame camera (aps-c size), which both of these are, The 18-105mm is more usefull and versatile as an all purpose lens. I felt that it would serve better indoors, in smaller spaces, than the Canon lens would. For other beginers out there, on a crop frame camera you have to use a multiplier to figure out what the actual range is of a lense. For Nikon, it's 1.5, and for Canon, it's 1.6. So my Nikon 18-105 lens functions like a 27-157 on my D90 crop frame (18x1.5 , 105x1.5) The included lens on the Canon 50D is 28-135mm which, on the 50D, would function like a 45-216mm lens. This would be a great range for outdoor use, but I felt it didn't get wide enough for indoor use. This lens mounted on a full frame camera would be more appropriate (no multiplier). In Canon's defense, there are two other 50D kits available, one with a 17-85mm lens, and another with an 18-200mm lens. In my opinion, both lenses are inferior in quality to the 28-135, and they both are more expensive. The 17-85 kit was about $200 more, and the 18-200 kit was about $400 more. This made the 50D to expensive for me, especially when you could step up to the Canon 7D for $1500(body only) and $1900(with 28-135mm). Second are the number of buttons, and button placement. Everyone is different, and has different ideas about how cameras should be set up. For me, I like the idea of having more buttons on the outside, as the Nikon does when compared to Canon. If I have to go into a menu to get at a certain function, chances are, I'll forget I have that function. Being a beginner, I wanted as much in my face as possible to help me learn. This also makes for very fast adjustments for beginers and advanced photographers alike. As for button placement, the Nikon just felt more natural. Again, everyone is different. Lastly, I considered both Nikon's and Canon's full line of cameras. I do plan on upgrading in the future, so I looked at the upper end cameras as well. Whatever lenses I buy for my D90, I want them to work on whatever body I might upgrade to in the future (lenses are expensive!!!) I think I just liked Nikon's take on photography tools a little better. From styling to functionality, Nikon just seemed more... me. I may regret this, as Canon also makes outstanding products, and it seems like they have a lot more lenses, although I havn't actually counted. For now, I'm looking forward to a long relationship with Nikon, expecting that their more pricey camera bodies function as naturally and comfortably as the D90 does. I absolutely love the Nikon D90, and am very happy I bought it. I feel it's a great camera for beginers, and it'll grow with me as a photographer. I was able to create amazing images right out of the box. It's very easy to use. I sat on the couch with it that first night and just played with menus and settings, and learned my way around the camera very fast. I'd recomend the D90 to anyone, beginners and advanced amatures alike. I used cameralabs.com extensively before I decided on anything. Outstanding website with a lot of writen and video reviews on a great many cameras and lenses. Thanks Gordon!! A few tips if you buy the D90... *an 8g memory card will give you about 350 RAW+JPEG shots, or 1000+ JPEG shots *the D90 shoots video... barely. If you want to shoot video, buy a video camera.... seriously. *if you're going to shoot video, or are going to use live-view a lot, you NEED an extra battery.
Review: Great professional camera at hobby pricing - I was fortunate enough to get a Nikon D40 several years ago, which kicked off my photography hobbie. Originally I wanted a nicer camera to shoot for the family, and I knew Nikon was a reliable brand, and the D40's were very well priced. (It's how they hook ya!!!) A few photography courses later (and a couple photos published in international magazines!) I've been hooked on Nikon cameras. Last year I upgraded to the Nikon D90. I love taking pictures of animals and children and landscapes as this is how it all started for me. I wanted something that could keep up with my family and pets. A shutter with a high enough speed to catch that "one" moment. Some of the eye-catching qualities this D90 has, is a 3" color screen with a "live view". People who use some of their earlier models (such as the D40) are probably used to having to view through the lens to get their picture. Well, now you don't. In addition to that, you can also shoot video (more on that in a bit.) 12.3 megapixel DX format CMOS sensor, ISO 200-3200, image sensor cleaning, AF, and in-camera retouching. The camera is easy enough to use for a newbie, as you can set it to "Auto" (One of seven shooting modes) and literally just point and shoot and go about your merry way. The camera uses an SD card for memory, though Nikon warns that it should be of a couple certain brands or the camera may not accept it (After formatting the card through the camera, I have not had a problem using 'cheapie' SD cards with it, however). Being a Nikon DSLR, however, you can, of course, go through and set anything and everything up manually to your liking, for the more serious hobbyist or professional. The camera comes with a good quality lens, (18-105mm) a certain upgrade from the stock lens with the D40. (Though the lenses are interchangeable) I enjoy it's "sounds" compared to the D40, if that makes any sense haha! It's heavier and larger than the D40, which I appreciate as well. I am a firm believer that one shouldn't by hybrid products with the hopes or assumption that the product does both (or all) tasks as well as the individual product would be. (Ie, point and shoots should not be expected to be a good video camera, or vice versa) And many other digital cameras I have used have proven this over and over, however the D90 video camera is quite impressive. Videos are limited to 5 minutes in length and have to be done via the lcd screen. It shoots HD videos with great color and quality, however has no AF (Auto Focus)--the only negative I can really give. It's perfect for catching special, spontaneous moments, high enough quality to use to create your own short film, and even easy enough for the responsible kid to use for school projects or just for fun. All and all, the camera is great. Good, hardy build to it. I've trucked it around to our farm, taken photos in the rain, and it has survived all our kids and pets without fail. If you are wanting a DSLR and you haven't ever used one before, this one is easy enough to set, point, and shoot, and still come out with professional looking, breath taking photos. If you are a hobbyist, looking for something that does more than auto-set, this one has all the manual settings one could hope for. And if you're a pro? Well, I don't need to be telling you that you need this camera, because you already know!

## 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.

Outstanding website with a lot of writen and video reviews on a great many cameras and lenses. Thanks Gordon!! A few tips if you buy the D90... *an 8g memory card will give you about 350 RAW+JPEG shots, or 1000+ JPEG shots *the D90 shoots video... barely. If you want to shoot video, buy a video camera.... seriously. *if you're going to shoot video, or are going to use live-view a lot, you NEED an extra battery.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great professional camera at hobby pricing
*by B***N on February 3, 2011*

I was fortunate enough to get a Nikon D40 several years ago, which kicked off my photography hobbie. Originally I wanted a nicer camera to shoot for the family, and I knew Nikon was a reliable brand, and the D40's were very well priced. (It's how they hook ya!!!) A few photography courses later (and a couple photos published in international magazines!) I've been hooked on Nikon cameras. Last year I upgraded to the Nikon D90. I love taking pictures of animals and children and landscapes as this is how it all started for me. I wanted something that could keep up with my family and pets. A shutter with a high enough speed to catch that "one" moment. Some of the eye-catching qualities this D90 has, is a 3" color screen with a "live view". People who use some of their earlier models (such as the D40) are probably used to having to view through the lens to get their picture. Well, now you don't. In addition to that, you can also shoot video (more on that in a bit.) 12.3 megapixel DX format CMOS sensor, ISO 200-3200, image sensor cleaning, AF, and in-camera retouching. The camera is easy enough to use for a newbie, as you can set it to "Auto" (One of seven shooting modes) and literally just point and shoot and go about your merry way. The camera uses an SD card for memory, though Nikon warns that it should be of a couple certain brands or the camera may not accept it (After formatting the card through the camera, I have not had a problem using 'cheapie' SD cards with it, however). Being a Nikon DSLR, however, you can, of course, go through and set anything and everything up manually to your liking, for the more serious hobbyist or professional. The camera comes with a good quality lens, (18-105mm) a certain upgrade from the stock lens with the D40. (Though the lenses are interchangeable) I enjoy it's "sounds" compared to the D40, if that makes any sense haha! It's heavier and larger than the D40, which I appreciate as well. I am a firm believer that one shouldn't by hybrid products with the hopes or assumption that the product does both (or all) tasks as well as the individual product would be. (Ie, point and shoots should not be expected to be a good video camera, or vice versa) And many other digital cameras I have used have proven this over and over, however the D90 video camera is quite impressive. Videos are limited to 5 minutes in length and have to be done via the lcd screen. It shoots HD videos with great color and quality, however has no AF (Auto Focus)--the only negative I can really give. It's perfect for catching special, spontaneous moments, high enough quality to use to create your own short film, and even easy enough for the responsible kid to use for school projects or just for fun. All and all, the camera is great. Good, hardy build to it. I've trucked it around to our farm, taken photos in the rain, and it has survived all our kids and pets without fail. If you are wanting a DSLR and you haven't ever used one before, this one is easy enough to set, point, and shoot, and still come out with professional looking, breath taking photos. If you are a hobbyist, looking for something that does more than auto-set, this one has all the manual settings one could hope for. And if you're a pro? Well, I don't need to be telling you that you need this camera, because you already know!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This camera is smarter that I am.
*by P***R on December 17, 2009*

I have had the camera now for about three months and I haven't taken a bad shot yet (slightly exagerated). The Nikon D90 if left on auto, would be the best point and shoot I have ever had but I am starting to learn what this camera is capable of when I become involved (AKA. Photographer). This camera is truly a painters palette waiting for the composer. The camera is also very intuitive and tries to cover my mistakes if I choose to let it. You can take as much or as little control as you are comfortable with. As a previous poster has mentioned, do not buy the kit, purchase the body only and add lenses separately. I borrowed a friends D90 with a kit lens to see if it was the camera for me, thank goodness he had another premium lens or I would have probably not bought the D90. With the kit lens it gives the camera a feel of cheapness and the picture quality is OK. I have added a Nikon prime 50mm f/1.8 and a Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8. Both have great glass and great response time (I highly reccommend them both). I also bought the kit lens 18-55mm 3.5($50.00 used from the friend I initially borrowed the D90 from), it has its uses. My day job is a quality engineer for a major aerospace company (space shuttle core component supplier), and I am very scrutinous of everything engineered. My opinion of construction quality is very favorable. I love the way the lenses snap into place with no slop. At first I was a little skeptical of the plastic body as opposed to the metal body of the D3 (which I have used). My night job is shooting youth sporting events for hours on end and the weight savings is sooooo apprecitated. I geuss what I am trying to get to is, do not evaluate this camera with a kit lens. I also recommend purchasing at least two (2) 4G cards with as high a write speed as possible. Not because the camera can't keep up but because your computer probably won't. This camera has a large buffer, so fire away. If you want a very well written opinon of this camera from a professional photographer, I recommend you visit Ken Rockwells web page [...] I do not know the gentleman, but when I was researching for this purchase I consumed all the information I could get and I made my determination after reading his review. I highly recommend his webpage for just practical information on all things photographic. In closing, I highly recommend the D90 camera body with quality lenses (so far Nikon (not kit) and Sigma, I like). If you thrive on validation and flattery, I also recommend this camera, because you will get a lot of attention much like Ashton Kucher on the Nikon commercial. I never tire of hearing "let me see, let me see". I would rate it third behind children and puppies as a chick magnet.
