Overview

The Nikon D90 is a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera introduced in 2008, notable for being Nikon's first DSLR to offer video recording capabilities. It features a 12.3-megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor that delivers high-resolution images with excellent detail and color accuracy. The camera is equipped with Nikon's EXPEED image processor, enabling fast image processing and reduced noise at higher ISO settings, up to ISO 6400 expandable. The D90 uses a 3-inch TFT LCD screen with live view support, allowing users to compose shots without looking through the optical viewfinder. Autofocus is managed by an 11-point AF system with 3D tracking, providing precise and fast focus even with moving subjects. The camera supports SD/SDHC memory cards for storage, has a rugged magnesium alloy body, and offers extensive manual and automatic controls ideal for both enthusiasts and professionals.

Key Advantages

The Nikon D90 provides excellent image quality with its 12.3MP sensor and advanced EXPEED processor. Its pioneering video recording capability set a benchmark for DSLRs at the time. The 11-point autofocus system ensures accurate and quick focusing performance. The camera’s ergonomics and robust build quality make it durable and comfortable for extended use. It supports live view shooting on a large 3-inch screen for versatile composition options. Additionally, the broad ISO range allows shooting in a variety of lighting conditions with minimal noise.

Limitations

Despite its strengths, the Nikon D90 has some limitations due to aging technology. The video resolution is limited to 720p HD, which is lower compared to modern full HD or 4K standards. The LCD display lacks touchscreen capabilities, making navigation less intuitive. The autofocus during live view and video recording is contrast-detect only, which is slower and less reliable than phase-detect AF. The camera’s weight and size can be considered bulky compared to mirrorless systems. Battery life, while reasonable for its time, is surpassed by many newer models. The absence of built-in Wi-Fi or GPS limits connectivity and geo-tagging options.
