Nikon D90 Features and Functions
It has almost been two years since the Nikon D80 was introduced, and now it has been announced that they are producing a new camera. With no surprise, it has been named the Nikon D90.
The D80 was a great success, and despite how old it is compared to cameras nowadays, it is still a camera that people look to buy. When you first look at it, you may even expect that the D90 is no more than the typical camera upgrade, but take a closer look and you'll find a digital camera that has been made to continue to keep Nikon enthusiasts pleased.
The first big thing to note is that there is a brand new CMOS sensor. It is claimed that it can produce D300 quality outputs up to ISO 6400. It also has some of those features that just move down from models higher up--the very highly praised 3.0-inch VGA screen from the D3/D300. Of course, it also has not only a dust removal system, but also the live view including contrast-detect AF. Now what is surprising is that it comes with the world's first DSLR movie mode, with no less than 720p HDTV quality and includes a HDMI output. Unfortunately, despite how good it sounds, like everything else, it does have its shortcomings. A lot of this is close to, if not exactly the same as the D80, but there is a new shutter and implementations of things like the 3D tracking AF. Those are the same as what you find on the D3/D300.
Believe it or not, lower models have been added to this camera for more user-friendly features. If you look at the user interface on the camera, you will see the very same treatment that can be found on the D60 model. It also has the retouching options from the same previous model. This helps the D90 appeal to everyone from the first-time customers who are often buying their first non-compact camera, or to those who plan to become a serious, amateur photographer, but with a comprehensive, lighter weight, and less expensive camera solution.
Another reason people like the Nikon D90 is that it is a lot like the old version, D80, including the dimensions. Remember that it has basically the same build, with just a few sharper lines and a little heavier than its older counterpart.
Ignoring the similarities, there are several key differences to the D90 model. Two of the more important improvements are the sensor and screen, and of course there are the new 2008 features that you must have, including both live view and dust removal. Don't forget the most important thing, though; this camera took a leap ahead of its time. It has a wonderful DSLR movie mode.
The perks of this camera can go on and on, but until you take a look at it for yourself, you won't know whether the Nikon D90 is the camera for you or for someone you know.
