 "THE BEST DIGITAL CAMERA" 2010-07-25
By Reading critic (USA)
Nikon is the best camera company in the world. This SLR is the best of the best. I highly recommend the D90.


 "Amazing" 2010-07-18
By Matthew P. Lobur (Las Vegas, NV)
Where to start, this camera is amazing, it is very user friendly (after a brief review of the manual), very accessible because you don't have to access the menu every 2 seconds to change the seconds, simply use the turn dials on front and back, and the pictures are simply amazing. Even an amateur coming from a point and shoot can benefit 10 fold from this camera, simply amazing


 "Does not disappoint" 2010-07-16

I splurged on this camera and spent more than I budgeted, but I'm happy I did. The D-90 is easy to use despite its many features, feels balanced and properly weighted, and is comfortable to use. The lens was a nice surprise - image quality is truly excellent. 3" LCD makes a difference. Have had it for over a year now and have no complaints but did find the lens limiting so I have added an 18-200mm VR wide angle zoom lens and am very pleased with it.


 "just ask at your local camera store" 2010-07-08
By Claude H. Post Jr. (Saugerties, NY United States)
We have owned this camera for 10 months and love it. As with any digital SLR, it takes a bit to get to know it,
but the end results are worth it. My wife Gail just loves this camera. Extra battery is a must have!


 "Great camera...if it worked! Buyer beware of Amazon and Nikon" 2010-07-07
By djironic
Right out of the box, this camera had all of the problems that everyone else has reported - the flashing F-- error (indicating that a lens isn't attached, even though it is), CHA error (tried three different authorized SDHC cards, and it had problems with all of them), and the random lock up with the flashing ERR message.

The only solution was to remove the battery. Then I could take five more pics before it would crash again. No good.

I wanted to get an exchange through Amazon, but they no longer carry the camera (after one week!), so I'll have to wait a couple months for it to be back in stock. Of course, at that point, I'm sure it will be cheaper since the new Nikons are slated to come out at the end of August - lose lose for me.

Or I can get a refund, but then I'll have to spend more on the same camera somewhere else. I had already maxed out my budget to buy this one, so I can't really afford to spend more. I bought mine when everyone was having a sale on Nikons, and now no one has them on sale, so not only would I be out another $100 at least, there's still no guarantee that I won't have to go through all of this hassle again the next time. I wish I had bought from anyone else besides Amazon, as everyone else seems to still have it in stock!

I called Nikon, and I'll have to pay shipping to send it to them, then wait at least 7-10 business days for service (their quoted *average* service time - who knows how long it will actually take), then have them ship it back to me (don't know if I have to pay for that or not, didn't say). So I'm out additional money, I STILL won't have a camera for at least two or three weeks of prime summer shooting season, and when I do, I'll just have to hope that they indeed fixed it properly (exchanging for a new one would make me feel a lot better than forever owning a known lemon).

I was so excited to have this camera for the summer, but now I'm just sad and frustrated.

The camera itself seems like it would be great if it worked. It seemed very sturdy, had a fantastic feature set, and took great images.

It looks like my best option is to just return it to Amazon and buy the Canon T2i from someone else instead. :-(
