Nikon D90 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED AF-S VR DX Nikkor Zoom Lens
The D90 is a digital single-lens reflex camera model announced by Nikon on August 27, 2008. It is a “prosumer” model (cross between professional and consumer) meant as a replacement for the Nikon D80. Nikon gives the D90′s Estimated Selling Price in the U.S. as $999.95 US for the body only and as $1299.99 with the Nikkor AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR, which by itself sells for $399.95.
Some of the improvements the D90 offers over the D80 include 12.3 megapixel resolution and live view capability. The D90 is also notable for being the first DSLR to offer video recording, with the ability to record HD 720p videos, with mono sound, at 24 frames per second (for up to 5 minutes or 20 minutes for smaller videos). The Nikon D90, Nikkor AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR and MB-D80 battery grip are manufactured by Nikon factory in Ayuthaya, Thailand as well as most Nikon DSLRs and lenses.
CNET Nikon D90 Review
The good: First-rate performance; solid, well-constructed body with nice viewfinder; video capture capability; great photo quality.
The bad: Middling kit lens; poor HDMI output implementation.
The bottom line: Like the D80 before it, the Nikon D90 delivers an excellent dSLR for the money.
