User Reviews and Specs | Submitted by Alex, Sep 28 2013 10:11 AM | Last updated Sep 29 2013 10:16 PM
The Nikon D90 is a mid-range 12MP DX format camera that brings many advanced features at an affordable price. This was the first DSLR to support HD movie mode (1080 x 720 px).

It's still one the best cameras out there.
Used this for a couple of years, very nice and good for my needs, but I'm upgrading to D7000 because I need better support for AI and AI-S lenses
