 My one and last camera!Nov 27, 2009
I am a serious amateur photographer. My last two cameras were already advanced compact cameras. The D90 is the first low-end professional SLR with exchangable lenses that I own. I bought the D90 along with a combination of Nikon lenses and a Nikon flash. But I want to concentrate in the camera: The D90 is smaller than the real professional ones but larger and heavier than any advanced compact. You get used to its weight tough, meaning, it is not unbearable. Take this from a 5'4" woman. Despite the additional weight, I like the camera's solid feeling. Although it delivers and it delivers well, buyers should know that it is a VERY complex little light-image computer in your hands. The menus are easy to work with and to remember; they are very logical. But there are plenty menus. I am still learning them as I learn more about digital photography in the classes I am taking. I use the Liveview but not as much as other people like to use it. The only thing I do miss is the flip off viewer of my compact cameras. I like to take pictures of my pets from the ground, and without a flip off viewer you cannot do this without laying on the groud yourself.
I only buy lenses and flashes from Nikon because the camera works great with its own equipment. I have the 18-200 lens and I could not be happier with the results I get.
If you are serious about moving to a bit higher level in your photography skills, this is a great camera and it could very well be the only camera you need. Cameras and lenses are expensive, so enthusiast photographers like me should pick carefully the items that actually need according to their skill level. I recommend the D90 without any reservation to serious amateur photographers.
Nikon D90 Digital SLR Very very coolNov 23, 2009
just got my D90, received 2 days after purchasing, day 4 cant put it down .LOVE IT!!!! Lots to learn, as this camera offers quite a bit of pre and post pic enhancing, with multiple multiple features.

 Don't discount the lens mount errorNov 08, 2009
The D90 was my first step into DSLR and I chose Nikon because of 20+ years of good past experience with a rock-solid (and very basic!) N2000 and later the digital Coolpix 950. I bought my D90 in June 2009 and for several thousand images it fell in the category "you shouldn't ever feel this close to an inanimate object". I like the way it feels in my hand and its weight isn't a problem for me, although I've seen a few negative comments about that. I'm happy with the bright display. The batteries have lasted well. The controls are where they should be for a Nikon. It was solid: you can easily freeze the hummingbird in the air and the water droplets falling from a dolphin at its apex. It had the kind of responsiveness that you'll recall if you've worked with plain old SLRs (and minus the "lag" of the older non-SLR Coolpix!).
It'd be safe to say I love almost everything about the camera...*except* that I've recently run into the F-- lens mount error. I'd read Amazon reviews before buying the camera, but blew off what people had written
You can read more about the problem (and 18-135 lens kit) here:
[...]
and in the results of a Google search of "d90 lens error" or similar.
I've removed the lens, cleaned the contacts, etc. but quite often now I'll be squeezing a shot and nothing...sometimes jiggling the lens or remounting fixes the problem. Even slight pressure on the side of the zoom can correct the problem.
All I can really say about the problem is that if you don't have it, you'll probably love the D90. If you *do* have it, it's really a deal breaker. In any situation with a moving/changing subject, you almost never have a second chance once you've nudged the lens a bit and tried to clear it. And having that confidence in your equipment that it will work reliably when you need it is unspeakably important.
Without the lens mount/electrical contact error, I'd give the camera the highest rating. As is, I now have to figure out what the Nikon terms are on servicing the camera, determine where to send it, etc. All I really want now is to have this camera back working correctly because I think it's a beautiful piece of technology when working.
Great camera for the enthuisiast.Nov 05, 2009
I got this camera for my wife because she has an unexplored interest in photography, and she absolutely loves it. She went from not knowing the difference between iso and aperture to being able to fine tune the camera to get the image she wanted. The shots are far from perfect but they definitely have a beautiful professional look to them.
I work in video and film production and so i have a great appreciation for the tremendous level of control the camera gives you. Huge iso/shutter ranges, it would be nice to have a quicker lens though. We have figured out a majority of the controls thanks to the easily accessible manual and quick manual and good old fashioned playing around.
The best part we've found is that even without painstakingly setting manual settings the camera takes beautiful pictures on it's automatic settings. Our real gems up to this point have come from manual settings, but that just means we have lots of room to improve.
An SDHC card is a good addition for quick read/write functionality.
This is a fantastic camera to help the photography enthuisiast or professional to create stunning photos well above it's price.

Getting F-- ERROR on my D90 camera...Nov 04, 2009
Over all the Camera is good. it takes great pics and the quality is good. But my camera is just 2 months old and it already started acting up. The most annoying was, I see the error F-- very often right in the middle of taking pictures.. i went through all online blogs and tried everything and the problem still persists.. I think lot of people are having this issue, Is Nikon aware of it and doing anything about it?.
