Key Advantages
The Nikon D90 offers high image quality with its 12.3 MP CMOS sensor and advanced EXPEED image processor. Its 11-point autofocus system with 3D tracking improves subject tracking accuracy for dynamic photography. The introduction of HD video recording in a DSLR platform was revolutionary, expanding creative possibilities for users. It boasts a large high-resolution 3-inch LCD for better image composition and playback. Its robust build and intuitive controls make it suitable for both enthusiasts and professionals. Furthermore, compatibility with a wide array of Nikon lenses adds to its versatility.
Limitations
While innovative at its release, the D90's HD video recording is limited to 720p at 24fps, which is modest compared to modern standards. It lacks Full HD 1080p video capture and advanced video features like microphone input or continuous autofocus during filming. The camera’s ISO performance, though good for its time, may produce more noise at higher sensitivities compared to newer models. Live View autofocus is slower and less accurate than more recent implementations. The absence of built-in image stabilization requires lenses to provide it, limiting shake reduction options. Its relatively bulky size and weight may be less convenient for casual users seeking more compact solutions.
