Overview
The first thing that will amaze photographers about the D90 is its stunning image quality, which takes its inspiration from Nikon's flagship DX-format digital SLR, the D300. The D90's image sensor and 12.3 effective megapixels combine with Nikon's exclusive EXPEED image processing to deliver outstanding images featuring fine details, smooth tones, rich colours and low noise across a wide ISO sensitivity range.
The D90 is equipped with an innovative movie shooting function that delivers genuinely cinematic results, enhanced by the creatively shallow depth of field made possible by the DX-format sensor. This is further refined by the optical quality and broad selection of NIKKOR lenses the same lenses relied upon by professional photographers the world over. Thanks to the D90's large image sensor, D-Movie images exhibit less noise than those of a typical camcorder, most notably in low-light situations.

 | Amazing camera E. F. on 12.12.2008 Amazing camera, Makes my simple point and shoot photos look professional. Lots of features. Fast startup and shutter. Most of my previous digitals, I would lose the shot waiting for the lag time between pressing the release button. The only downside is the weight. I have tiny hands and will take getting used to. |
| Nikon D90 KIT w18-55VR + 55-200VR LENS J. K. on 03.12.2008 The Nikon D90 is a great camera. The ease of use, be it for a point and shoot application or more professional photography. My 5yr daughter is able to use it with the same expertise as an adult, and that says a lot for the camera. Overall I'm very happy with the Nikon D90. My current project is learning how to use Photo-shop CS4 to bring out the best in my pictures. |

| D90 Blaze on 13.06.2011 Amazing camera, given the newer models the D90 still holds its place well. I've had mine since it was first released and still love it. Image quality is supurb! Well made, I've carted it all around the place. While not specifically weather sealed I've had it in light rain, salt spray, windy beach etc, and had no issues with damp getting into the body. Battery life is excellent. |
