Nikon D90 Digital Camera
(5 out of 5)
A first-rate digital SLR that bridges the gap between entry-level and midrange models. And it records movies, too!
Review date: Sep 17, 2008
The Nikon D90 really blew me away. In terms of photo quality, manual controls, performance, customizability, and yes, its movie mode, the D90 is a home run. There are a few annoyances, such as slow focusing in live view mode and horrible bundled RAW editing software, but the positives far outweigh the negatives. The D90 is a digital SLR that I can highly recommend, without hesitation.
