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.
