Nikon D90 Dx Review – Is This 12.3Mp Digital Slr Camera Worth Buying?

The Nikon D90 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera is one of Nikon’s entry-level Single-Lens-Reflex cameras. Nikon has always been known as the leader in the digital cameras, and the D90 doesn’t spoil that impression. If I were to just go out and buy an camera without even comparing features, a Nikon would be the one I’d buy.

They’ve kept the weight and size of the unit small, so it’s easy to hold. Many of these SLRs are enormous. However, it’s not too light; a camera that’s too light is hard to keep from shaking.

Here are some of the benefits and features of the Nikon D90 DX:

1. The way it’s built is sturdy and secure; and it has a nice feel when you heft it. Every Nikon delivers outstanding quality images. You don’t even have to worry about that, if you’re buying a Nikon.

2. The lens which comes with it, called a ‘Kit Lens’ is OK; but you might wish to purchase a better lens in the future. It’s sufficient for a beginner. I like a lens which goes all the way from 30mm – telephoto, and gives you good quality at the same time.

3. They always give you the option to edit the photos right inside the camera, which I never understood. Certainly you’re going to waste precious battery time if you were to do that, and wouldn’t it be far better to use Photoshop, later, to do such things? I can’t imagine anybody actually using that feature no matter what the camera is.

4. The battery lasts longer than most of its competitors, which is a very good feature. If you have a card which holds 600 photographs, and a battery which can last three hours; there will be few situations that you would run out of either.

5. It has an enormous LCD monitor, allowing easy view of even the minutest detail. That way you don’t need to zoom in to see the level of quality. Most LCD displays are much smaller than that

There are some annoyances with the Nikon D90 DX 12.3MP camera, as there are with any camera:

1. When you’re shooting videos, there’s no auto focus. I suppose that it has to take so many photos in such a short period of time that it can’t also waste time moving the lens in-and-out. The frame rate is more important to worry about.

2. When you remove the kit lens, strange things sometimes appear on the menu or the camera will stop working and you’ll have to remove the battery to have it reset itself. However, most people won’t be removing the lens, anyway.

3. As is the case with some other SLR cameras, with the exception of the Olympus, the camera’s Live View is basically unusable. They’re throwing on that feature at the last moment, I think, trying to compete with the Olympus… which doesn’t work. Much of what makes live View work is Proper attention to programming speed. The software has to be able to keep up with the incoming image, and that’s not an easy thing to do. So, they leave out features in their attempt to get it displaying fast enough.

In conclusion, I would have to say that Nikons are always noted for their level of quality, and the Nikon D90 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera doesn’t disappoint.
