Digital camera reviews of Nikon D90 12.3MP DX-Format CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 18-105 mm f/3.5-5.6G ED AF-S VR DX Nikkor Zoom Lens
Digital camera Review: Another good one from Nikon
Summary: 4 Stars
Theres no need for a lengthy review since Hiram Grant normally covers all the aspects.
The D90 is an amazing camera and is perfect for my vacations and occasional photography needs. Never had live view before but its really nice.
So why only 4 stars?
1) The AF sometimes struggles with low light close range photos.
2) The video mode's audio doesn't work well when theres wind.
Both are fairly minor issues, but they are issues nonetheless. In any case im staying with Nikon in the long run and the 18-105 VR is a good lens to start with.

I bought this a few weeks ago. What an awesome camera. Be forewarned you will have to do some homework if you want to get beyond automatic settings. You can take good photos with it out of the box in auto mode. I bought the Magic Lantern guide with it and am already have taken a few great photos. The camera is pretty well weight balanced and makes shooting pretty easy. Thanks to all the folks that recomended buying a uv filter for the lens. It's definatley nice to not have to worry about dust, dirt, and scratches ruining you lens. I also was happy that the kit includes the LCD monitor cover so that it's protected. One note of caution...be careful with the strap that comes with the kit. When you put it on the camera you have to make sure that you re-feed the webbing through the buckle to secure it. I can see where if you weren't paying attention you could just feed it through the sliding keeper and think you had it secured and then later drop it. Minor but if it saves one persons new camera then it's worth saying. I can't wait to play with the camera more this summer and get to the point I'm using it to it's full potential.Digital camera Review: Awesome camera

This was my first digital SLR, and it is SO easy to use, and takes great pictures. However, I should have listened to other advice, as I returned it - and Amazon gave me a full refund, yaay Amazon - because I am getting the same camera with the 18-200 mm lens. The 105 is fine, no issues other than the zoom is just not quite long enough.
I found the D90 easy to set up, easy and intuitive to use the button functions on the camera without going into the menus, even to do some basic manual adjustments. Glad I decided on it rather than the Canon. The shutter speed is great, caught lots of good action shots, exposure was good except for user error, rear lcd screen very clear and nice, flash great - can't wait to get my new one with the better lens!

I've purchased the camera for a month now, and it's just what I want, taking amazing pictures of scenery and portrait. My friends and I were really impressed with its amazing clarity and vibrancy of the portraits!! Definitely the camera to get if you are serious about photography. I got myself an extra lens as well, and that gets me by most of the occasions.
And of course Amazon is the cheapest to get it...with good quality!
Digital camera Review: Awesome camera for the price!

I have been using this camera for about 3 months and this camera is just awesome. It takes awesome pictures straight out of the box with the 18-105mm kit lens. This lens is new from Nikon and it's quiet good actually. I especially enjoyed the wide angle that it provides even though this camera is only 1.6x!
I have added a sb-400 to this camera and my flash photos are much nicer than the built-in flash but i'm not saying that the built-in flash is bad at all. Actually, the built-in flash will probably work for most of photo enthusiasts as it creates respectable flash photos in it's own right.
The coloring of the photos look much true to life than the Canon 40D i have. i have compared the same photos with the same exposure and to me and my wife the photos from the D90 just looked so much natural. I guess this is due to the 12.3mp sensor that it borrowed from the awesome D300.
HD videos are in good quality. I have shown them on my Samsung 1080P TV and they looked very nice except that they are in Mono sound, this is the only downside of this feature, but hey this is the world's first DSLR that can shoot HD and i know that we can make pretty creative videos using other Nikkor lens but at this time i just don't have the funds to do so!
In conclusion, this is a very reasonably price machine and it's quiet affordable for the everyday photo armatures and enthusiasts.
