 Great DSLRMar 10, 2010
I love it. Works great for me.
I have the 18-55 lens, works great.
I have the 50mm prime lens, works really great. Especially in low light. see - [...]
I have the 55-200 lens, works ok. Bad in low light and/or fast action.
I wish it had auto focus in video mode and I wish the underwater housing for it was not so expensive.

It makes me look like an experienced photographerMar 07, 2010
I purchased a Nikon D90 and received the Camera and 18-105 telephoto lens on December 23, 2010, and subsequently purchased an additional 70-300 telephoto lens and some filters and began taking pictures. The picture quality is excellent with either standard or fine quality and with the exception of taking a picture with too much backlight the quality of my 300 or so pictues are flawless. I usually set the shots to auto and let the camera do the work although the camera creates some great effects on aperature or shutter priority depending on focal depth or shutter speed sensitivity. I have used the camera for two months and will update with further comments as time goes on. In short it has been a great tool and will let you know how it performs over time. The D90 makes me look like an experienced photographer when I show my prints or view shots on my computer.

Great camera - highly recommendMar 05, 2010
This camera has more features and capabilities than you will ever need! Fortunatley it takes great photos in automatic mode too! The 18-105 lens is useful for almost any situation. I also bought the 300 lens, but rarely use it. Before you buy a DSLR though, I suggest you consider how you will use it. My best photos are spontaneous pics taken with my Olympus Stylus 710 or Nikon Coolpix. I can always have one of these cameras with me, and can be taking pictures in an instant. The DSLRs are bulky and usually in the carrying case in the car or at home. It takes a few minutes to get it ready unless you already have it out on a picture-taking expedition. I always have one of the compacts with me, and the D90 nearby.
While you are buying, I suggest you go ahead and get a good carrying case or backpack, basic UV filter to protect the lens, and a lens cleaning kit. Also suggest you go for the larger memory card...8G plus if you can.
I almost went for the D5000 because it has some neat features not found on the D90, but at the end of the day I felt like the D90 was more robust, and had a better feel to it. I also considered the Canon TSi, but again felt the D90 was a better constructed camera. (the Canon lenses didn't seem to operate as smoothly or precisely as the Nikon's)
I've had my D90 for a little over a month, have taken lots of great photos, and do not regret spending the extra $!
Maheba's ReviewMar 03, 2010
I am very happy with the purchase. The D90 works exceptionally effective and to my expectations. The picture quality is amazing and nothing like I have seen before from my own photographs taken.
Love learning photography on this camera!Mar 02, 2010
I love expanding my knowledge of photography and honing my skill with this camera! It's my first digital SLR. I was nervous about the purchase price but wanted a good camera. I felt I'd learned to maximize the capabilities of my Lumix DMC-TZ5 and wanted more functionality and manual control. My husband encouraged me, giving me the first few hundred to cover the cost. I decided to purchase the Nikon D90 after spending weeks looking at reviews, holding cameras, checking prices, shopping for accessories. It's been two months and I'm still very, very happy!
The camera feels great in my hand. It's just a little heavier than the Canon T1i, the grip seems a little deeper. It seems sturdy, professional. I'm not big on reading all the directions right away so it's nice that many of the controls are intuitive or easy to figure out after playing around a little while. I've successfully added and changed lenses, figured out what size filter is needed (67mm for the kit lens!), and installed the UV filter. I've shot photos with and without the LCD. I've tried multiple automatic and played with manual controls. I'm ready to read the manual and figure out what all those initials along the mode dial mean! I have a lot to learn about photography and I'm very happy to have the D90 to learn on!
It's possible I would also have been happy with a lower-end model DSLR like the Nikon D3000 or the Canon XSi, but every salesperson I spoke with (different days and different stores) suggested I'd be happier with the D90 because I wouldn't "outgrow" it after a few years. I think I'll be able to say that this camera is still "the one" for me five or seven years from now! As a youngster, I consistently photographed my dog and my family. I switched from a very basic 110 to a low-end 35mm. I later took advantage of a drug store refillable 35mm camera and had them make digital copies of everything. I was ecstatic that my husband had an awesome (at the time) high-end Nikon CoolPix with rotating lens (I think it was a 995). I used it constantly! We replaced it with one of the cutting edge (at the time - lol) compact digital cameras - a Casio Exlim. For years, I've been the only person from my family and my hubby's family that has photographed all birthdays, holidays, and special get-togethers. I'm constantly photographing my pets (white cats, tabby cat, blonde dog, tan dogs) and critters in the yard (some great bird, bee, caterpillar, squirrel, raccoon, lizards, oh my!).
Trial and error seem to have made me a little better photographer. I didn't want to study photography in detail, though, until I had a really good camera. The Nikon D90 is a really good camera! It makes me want to master all the basics and learn advanced techniques so my interest can really blossom!
If you can spend the money on this camera, I think you, too, will be very happy with your purchase!
