Understanding Nikon SLR Digital Cameras
There are quite a lot of Nikon SLR digital cameras in the market that make for worthy investments. One of these is the Nikon D90. The Nikon D90 is one of the Nikon SLR digital cameras that are suitable for beginners and casual users. Because of they are not concerned about the kit lens.
However, the Nikon D90 gets plus points for having the brand’s famous intuitive layout and video capabilities. I was already thinking of getting the Nikon D90 even though what I really wanted was the D300, because of its sturdy magnesium body and weatherproof features.
The D300 and D90 have the same sensor and ISO capability range. Various reviews on Nikon SLR digital cameras say that the D300 pales in comparison to D90 in terms of noise reduction. The Nikon D90 also has a superb control layout; single button choices are available on the left side of the screen which allows you to easily access image quality, white balance, ISO, and view previous shots.
The D90 also has video capabilities, but unhappily the video feature fails to meet expectations because of its lack of autofocus and sound. It is makes for a good extra feature, but it’s lacking in essential features that would’ve made it a good video camera.
Although many users like the kit lens that comes with the D90, but I think you can get better zooms from Nikon that falls within the same price range of the D90. Reportedly $400 is the selling price for the 18-105mm Vibration Reduction (VR). Nikon 70-300mm VR for around $485 has a far better build with a metal mount and rubber gasket.
But the kit lens that comes with the D90 has no rubber gasket and plastic mount, which makes it feel a bit cheap compared to the 70-300mm VR. If all you need is basic lens and you are a casual or average user, then the Nikon D90 kit lens would probably do.
But you can buy Nikon 70-300 VR if you are aspiring to go semi pro or pro. In a word, as a part of Nikon SLR Digital Cameras, the Nikon D90 is a great camera even though it does lack in the weather proofing department.
