"I got the Nikon D80 two weeks ago and then saw the rumors about the D90; I promptly returned the D80 to [...](thanks!) and got this baby kit yesterday, the day it was released. So my review will go over D90 as it compared to the D80. What I don't like about it so far:I miss the lens that came with t …"  Read Full Review »

"This is my 3rd upgrade from D70 to D80, now to D90 and it comes with Live View and Movie Mode. Don't buy this because it has a movie mode, even without it, the D90 is a great buy for starters and professionals. The movie mode just comes handy without carrying a camcorder. The D90 make it worth bu …"  Read Full Review »
