At first look, the Nikon D90 camera looks like the D80. In fact, when I bought it, I had to double check the badge just to make sure I had the right camera.
Since the D90 looks so alike its predecessor, the camera appears as if it is only one of those cameras with subdued incremental upgrades. Not true. Just take a closer look and you will find that the D90 sports many cool features to keep you more than satisfied.
Autofocus system
The D90 viewfinder, like the Nikon D80 viewfinder, sports an AF system (11-point) in a diamond arrangement. Still goes by the name of Multi-Cam 1000, like on the D80, the D90′s AF engine has been improved to include three-dimensional focus tracking. It also has the advantage of Face Detection that will bias AF points to go in favor of eyes over noses as well as other objects present in a scene.
Live view features
Using other Nikon DSLRs, you need to turn the Drive Mode face to Lv, then you must depress the shutter button to lock the mirror. This is hardly instinctive, but the D90 sports a live view button found on its back. It is within easy reach of your thumb.
Scene recognition feature
Nikon has worked on scene recognition features for years, and now is the time to reap the fruits of their hard work. Their newest models now have this feature. The Nikon D90 comes with this feature.
Overall
The potentialD90 consumers are the existing owners of the D80. Building on the potency of its exceptional predecessor, the D90 has an awful lot going for it. This newest camera from Nikon has upgraded many specs and offers cool and new features over the Nikon D80.
In general, the D90 is a great DSLR offering. I highly recommend it.
