Key Advantages

The Nikon D90's key strengths include its pioneering HD video recording capability within a DSLR body, providing versatility for multimedia creators. Its 12.3MP sensor delivers sharp and detailed imagery suitable for professional and enthusiast photography. The EXPEED processing system enhances image quality and operational responsiveness. The robust autofocus system ensures accurate tracking of moving subjects. A large, high-resolution LCD enables easy image assessment and intuitive menu access. Moreover, compatibility with a wide range of Nikon F-mount lenses increases creative possibilities.

Limitations

Despite its innovative features, the Nikon D90 exhibits some drawbacks, such as a relatively modest ISO range compared to newer models, which may impact low-light performance. The continuous shooting speed of 4.5 frames per second is moderate and might be insufficient for fast-action photography. Its video recording is limited to 720p resolution, lacking full HD capabilities found in later cameras. The camera lacks in-body image stabilization, relying on lens-based stabilization instead. Battery life may also be limited when using live view or video modes extensively. The weight and size are bulkier than contemporary mirrorless alternatives.
