Key Advantages

The Nikon D90 offers excellent image quality with its 12.3 MP sensor and high ISO capability for low-light performance. Its rugged, weather-sealed magnesium alloy body ensures durability in diverse shooting environments. The 720p HD video feature was innovative for its release time, adding versatility for multimedia creation. Compatibility with a vast range of Nikon F-mount lenses provides creative flexibility. The user-friendly 3-inch LCD enhances composing and reviewing shots with high resolution. Additionally, its fast continuous shooting speed of 4.5 fps supports capturing action moments.

Limitations

While the Nikon D90 includes HD video, its recording options and autofocus during video are limited compared to modern cameras. Its 12.3 MP resolution is modest by today’s standards, which may affect large-format printing. The LCD is fixed and not articulating, restricting shooting angles in certain situations. Battery life is average, requiring additional batteries for extended shoots. The camera lacks newer features such as built-in Wi-Fi or touchscreen controls. Autofocus in live view mode can be slower compared to current mirrorless models.
