Customer Reviews

Beware of grey imports...
Simply Electronics (Amazon marketplace) are well known for importing equipment from Hong Kong and selling as a UK product which means you have an invalid UK warranty and will need to return the product to Asia in the event of mechanical problems. Search the forums on the internet for people's views, they are not universally loved by any means...this explains a lot of their massive delivery delays too.

However, get it from the right source and you are never going to regret your decision to buy the D90. This is a magnificent piece of equipment - I own one and will not be parted from it. Significantly cheaper than the Canon 50D and significantly better than the Canon 450D and 40D in my view. It is love at first sight..... it absolutely sucks in light, shooting in RAW mode is fantastic but you're going to need Adobe Photoshop Elements or CS if you want to shoot in RAW - the camera doesn't come bundled with anything to adapt RAW images which in my view is where all the power is and where Nikon are missing a trick.

Not quite perfect.....
Fistly, this is a brilliant camera. It looks and handles very much like the D80(see my review). It beats the D80 in terms of high ISO noise, has a better fram rate and a bigger lcd panel at the back.
The video cabability is excellent but is marred by the lack of autofocus. You can focus manually but it is quite difficult to assess when the picture is in focus through liveview. In addition, the autofocus in liveview is veeeery slow, it can take as much as three seconds to focus and it hunts. I have no doubt that Nikon will sort these negatives when the D90 is replaced.
The camera still has a tendency to overexpose occasionally, although not as often as the D80. Pictures at default settings are 'flat' compared to the D80 and need to be pre-adjusted in the camera's settings.
Negatives aside, this is a better camera than the D90 as the final image quality has less noise and it has some useful extra 'bells and whistles'.
