Nikon D90 Body Review
Here Pros and Cons of Nikon D90 Best Price
PROS:
- Fantastic set of separate buttons on the Nikon D90 Body camera to control parameters like ISO, white balance, metering, autofocus, image quality, shooting mode, etc.
- Two command dials
- High resolution 920K pixel LCD screen (like the one on the Nikon D300)
- 12.3 megapixel CMOS sensor
- Low noise high ISO capability (for low light shooting) I can shoot ISO 1600 with good image quality with this camera, while on my D40x I could only shoot with ISO 400 and obtain acceptable IQ. I will even use ISO 3200 frequently with very usable results!
- Separate top-viewing LCD screen in addition to the rear high res screen, to show shooting parameters constantly
- In-body focus motor which allows the use of Nikon’s non AF-I/S lenses, including wonderful and CHEAP prime lenses such as the Nikkor 50mm 1.8 (~$100 lens!)
- Continuous shooting of 4.5 frames per second
- Small size, although larger than the D40/D40x/D60, it is still substantially smaller in the hand than the D300/D3
- 720p 24fps MPEG video shooting capability with incredible ability to use depth of field that I cannot achieve with my Sony High-Def camcorder.
- Eleven auto-focus points (not as nice as the 51 points on the D300, but substantially better than my D40x with its 3 points)
- GPS option
- HDMI output
- Enormous number of options to customize camera and shooting settings to fit your style of shooting
- Fantastic image quality right out-of-box if you don’t want to do any post processing
- Terrific build quality
- Top notch camera ergonomics (but this will be a very personal opinion that differs for each shooter)
CONS:
- “Rolling shutter” phenomenon while recording video: The D90 CMOS sensor has the same problem that other CMOS video recorders have when recording video. If you move the camera, especially horizontally, you get a “jelly” or “rubberbanding” effect where the image wobbles significantly. It is nice to have the video features, which looks very sharp at 720p, but it is NOT a substitute for a video camera. If you use a tripod, and do not quick zooms/pans, the video quality is awesome. Without a tripod, however, you may get nauseous watching a wobbly video. The sound is also in monoaural.
- 1/200 flash synch: Not a problem for me, but it might be for you.
- No weather sealing: This is found on the Nikon D300/D3 and even on similarly priced models from other camera companies
- The buffer will fill up after about 8 continuous RAW + JPG (FINE) shots. This different depending on the shooting parameters that you will choose. The buffer allow a very large number of continuous shot if you shoot primarily in JPG, but i have not quantified this for JPG only.
With all these PROS and CONS will you buy Nikon D90 Body
