Key Advantages
The Nikon D90 stands out with its excellent image quality owing to its 12.3 MP CMOS sensor and EXPEED processor. It was one of the first DSLRs to introduce HD video recording, expanding creative possibilities. The large and sharp 3-inch LCD enhances user experience for live view and reviewing images. Its robust 11-point autofocus system ensures precise subject tracking. The camera’s ISO range and noise reduction allow good performance in varying lighting conditions. Durability and ergonomic design provide comfortable and reliable handling for extended photography sessions.
Limitations
The Nikon D90, despite its advanced features in 2008, has some limitations today due to its older sensor resolution and slower image processing compared to modern cameras. It lacks full HD (1080p) video recording and advanced video controls found in newer models. The autofocus system, while advanced for its time, is less effective in low light and fast action situations. The LCD is fixed and not articulating, limiting shooting angles. Battery life, though adequate, is not comparable with more recent DSLR and mirrorless cameras. Connectivity options such as Wi-Fi and GPS are absent, requiring manual transfer and geotagging.
