Nikon D90 Review by Camera Labs

Nikon D90

So the D90 won’t replace your camcorder, but it could complement it very well. Given a lens with a bright focal ratio, it can excel under low light while also delivering shallow depth of field effects. You could alternatively fit other types of lenses for special effects. It’s all about learning the D90’s foibles and working around them. Do this and you can have great fun with the video mode, but try and use it as a normal camcorder and you will be disappointed.

The earlier D80 was one of the best-performing 10 Megapixel DSLRs we’ve tested, and when fitted with the (admittedly superior) DX 18-70mm lens, is only a very small step behind its successor when equipped with its kit lens. In tests with other models we’ve also only measured subtle differences between 10 and 12 Megapixel DSLRs, so existing D80 owners shouldn’t upgrade to the D90 expecting a noticeably higher degree of resolved detail.
