Key Advantages
The Nikon D90 introduced live video recording to the DSLR market, providing 720p HD video capture. It combines a solid 12.3MP sensor with a durable magnesium alloy body, ensuring robust performance in various conditions. Nikon's EXPEED processor enables fast continuous shooting at 4.5 frames per second, suitable for action photography. The camera offers a wide ISO range (200-3200, expandable to 100-6400) for excellent low-light performance. Its 3-inch LCD offers a large, bright display for image review and live view shooting. The compatibility with a broad array of Nikon F-mount lenses gives photographers extensive creative flexibility.
Limitations
Despite its pioneering video functions, the Nikon D90's video recording is limited to 720p resolution without audio zoom or full-time autofocus during recording. Its 11-point autofocus system, while effective, can be outperformed by more advanced modern autofocus technologies. The D90 lacks weather sealing to the extent of professional models, making it less suitable for extreme conditions. Battery life is moderate compared to modern DSLRs, requiring extra batteries for prolonged use. The maximum ISO, while good for its time, might be limiting in very low-light environments for some users. Additionally, the camera does not feature built-in Wi-Fi or GPS capabilities, limiting modern connectivity options.
