The Nikon D90
When the Nikon D90 was introduced, it was the only digital SLR camera
that included a video recording feature. It succeeded the Nikon D80 and
has several improvements. The LCD inch is similar to its predecessor but
it comes with a new sensor. Its 12.3 megapixels resolution is definitely
better than the 10.2 megapixels the D80 has.
 This camera is heavier than the Nikon D80 and its design is solid but
it is not very heavily built. The grip on the Nikon D90 is very
comfortable and the buttons are conveniently placed. The menu system is
crowded but you will not have a problem navigating through it. The
elements on the menu system are very friendly and it includes a My Menu
feature that makes it possible to save some of the settings that you use
regularly. If you have not used a Nikon before, you do not have to worry
because its interface is very friendly.
At the back of this camera, you will find a button that allows you to
use the live view feature for video and still recording. The
disadvantage of this feature is that it is too slow when shooting stills
and you are better of using the viewfinder.
To record video using the Nikon D90, you have to set your autofocus
with the live view. The camera adjusts automatically for exposure when
recording but you have to adjust the focus manually.
The camera has a built-in microphone but its audio quality is not
great. This means that you cannot rely on it if you want to record some
audio notes while you are shooting stills.
 The autofocus on the Nikon D90 is very quick and accurate. Its auto
flash also works well but when you change from RAW to JPEG, the images
tend to be noticeably softer.
The quality of the images produced by the Nikon D90 is very good in
comparison to other camera models. The LCD screen on the camera is about
3 inches and is an improvement on its predecessor. Its frame of view is
slightly larger and it comes with a dust cleaning sensor. It also has an
11 point 3D autofocus and includes a GPS attachment which is optional.
Apart from the fact that you can take video with the Nikon D90, it
has a variety of features that make it a great option when you are
looking for a digital SLR camera.
