100rin D90 - Simply Loved it
Wonderful camera, this is my first DSLR and this is impressing me every day. Everyday I am learning something new with it. Still me early days so I am not writing how to take nice pictures but still go for big aperture lense and see the magic while clicking Potraits.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Locationman Great camera, especially in low-light situations
Haven't had it long, but the results have been great so far.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by ModestHoldings A smaller, smarter, cheaper D300
The Nikon D90 is a great camera, if you're willing to take the time to learn how to use it.
For less advanced users I'd suggest the D40, which has fewer features to worry about learning and is even leaner than the '90. The D40 also brings professional grade 1/500 flash sync.
Photographers coming to the D90 from elsewhere in the Nikon system should find an immediate familiarity. Consider it a smaller, smarter, cheaper D300. This is good.
The D90 fires at a respectable 4.5 FPS, from 30 sec. to 1/4000 with bulb and time. Useful ISO sensitivities range from Lo1 (~ISO 100) to about 1200, if you're printing big.
Avoid the 18-105VR kit lens. (See my separate review.)
While the '90 is capable of taking some fantastic photos on full-auto, this camera deserves to be dialed in and driven. It's an excellent long-exposure camera (with the caveat that the otherwise excellent battery life falls off a cliff as exposures reach into the minutes) with low amp noise and few hot pixels.
As a professional journo-photog, I've put nearly 30,000 shots on my '90, and it continues to work like day one. The built in sensor cleaning mechanism is fantastic.
The pop-up flash can be used to fire capable Speedlights (SB-600, SB-800, SB-900) remotely.
So long as you shoot JPEG, the built in processing handles lens issues such as chromatic noise in the corners with ease.
The dVideo feature is handy to have in a pinch but you'll want to invest in a real digital cinicam if you expect to shoot many moving pictures. The D90 excels, however, in regular old photography.
