Key Advantages

The Nikon D90's main advantage is its combination of a high-resolution APS-C sensor with video recording capability, which was innovative at its release. Its robust build and ergonomic design provide durability and comfortable handling. The EXPEED processing engine delivers fast image processing and effective noise reduction. The 11-point autofocus system ensures precise subject tracking and focusing, which benefits both stills and video capture. The camera offers flexible exposure modes including manual, aperture priority, and shutter priority to suit different user needs. Additionally, the bright and clear 3-inch LCD enhances usability for composition and image playback.

Limitations

The Nikon D90 does not support full HD 1080p video recording, limiting video resolution to 720p at 24fps, which is lower than newer models. Its continuous shooting speed is moderate at approximately 4.5 frames per second, which may not be adequate for fast action photography. The ISO performance, while good for its time, produces noticeable noise at higher sensitivities compared to modern sensors. The camera lacks built-in Wi-Fi or GPS connectivity, restricting instant image sharing or geotagging. Its rear LCD is fixed and not articulating, which limits shooting flexibility from different angles. Battery life is reasonable but may require additional spare batteries for extended shooting sessions.
