Best of Nikon for the money!!!

"Why buy a D300, when you can do most things with the D90 at less price and a lot less weight, plus it has Auto D-link, and the image quality is as good as, (or better than) the D300? Of course, if you are shooting landscape or you are doing VERY large prints (measured in meters), no digital camera is as fine detailed as the old 35mm ISO 50, where you can be shooting very close to 100 MP when you do hi-def scans..."

D90 SLR Wins Some , Loses Some

"The Large LCD is a Definite Plus The Menu is very easy to you The Most Impressive Feature is the ability to use a HIGH ISO Number without noise The Controls are very easy to use I use the Camera mainly for Landscape pictures and MACRO'S of flowers The BIggest Disappointment is its LIVE VEIW . I have not used it for movies and probaly NEVER WILL , but it is a 90% Disaster in normal photography. It slows the..." Read Full Review »

"I have had a D70 for about 4 years. Great camera, but its limitations were holding me down. I am glad I did not upgrade to D300. Too much for my budget. The D80 was an evolutionary improvement over the D70. The D90 is a revolutionary leap from both the D70 and D80. Feels and looks largely the same …"  Read Full Review »

"Having been a Nikon D200 user, I got a chance to borrow a D300 for a day of shooting, and loved the nearly 2 stops advantage the low noise sensor provided, not to mention the fantastic 3" LCD panel. So when the D90 came out and the initial reviews verified that it shared these benefits from the D300 …"  Read Full Review »

"The D90 performs brilliantly. Excellent color, all the way up to Vivid. Active D-Lighting is much improved from the D80 and even D60, with a very functional Auto mode and it's fast enough that it can be left on in burst mode. The 3D AF tracking works very well, even on fairly fast moving subjects.

"I went to Washington DC to see Barack Obama, I bought the camera on January 15th, the day I left. This is my first SLR of any type and first I have used since HS in the 1970's. This camera was easy to use, simple to set up. I have always been a point and shoot person until now. Now all I dream about …"  Read Full Review »
