Advantages of the Nikon D90 Camera

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

The Nikon D90 camera looks so much like the Nikon D80. When I got my D90 at last, I had to check the badge twice just to ensure I got the right DSLR.

Because the D90 appears similar to its precursor, it looks as if this camera is one of those with subdued incremental upgrades. Not true. Look more closely and you will see that the D90 offers cool features that may excite Nikon fans.

Autofocus system

The D90 viewfinder, like the Nikon D80 viewfinder, sports an AF system (11-point) in a diamond arrangement. Still goes by the name of Multi-Cam 1000, like on the D80, the D90’s AF engine has been improved to include three-dimensional focus tracking. It also has the advantage of Face Detection that will bias AF points to go in favor of eyes over noses as well as other objects present in a scene.

Live view

Activating the Live shooting feature on other Nikon cameras means turning the Drive Mode control to Lv, hen you should press the shutter button to lock up the mirror. This is hardly intuitive, but the D90 has a Live view button on its back, right of the LCD. Your thumb can easily reach this.

Scene recognition feature

Nikon has been developing the scene recognition system for years; they are now harvesting the fruit of their efforts. Their latest models have seen improvements to the system. The Nikon D90 comes with this feature.

Overall

Owners of the nice D80 will definitely drool over the D90. Building on the strength of its ancestor, the D90 has a lot going for it.

Building on the might of the D80, the D90 has many exciting things going for it. This latest offering from Nikon upgrades a number of specs and comes with several new features over the excellent D80.

In general, the D90 is a great DSLR offering. Highly recommended.

Buy Nikon D90 Accessories

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

The Nikon D90 is an outstanding middle-range DSLR camera. Below are some essential Nikon D90 accessories:

One of the best lenses for Nikon is the Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens. If you are willing to spend for the higher end Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G AF-S, then get one. The Tokina AF 12-24mm f/4 AT-X Pro DX (IF) would be a great wide angle lens.

For your flash, go for the Speedlight SB-600, a compact flash with striking functionality. The LCD is easy to view and has six buttons that make the external flash’s operation simpler. Each of these backlit buttons is easy to understand.

Circular polarizer is probably the best filters for your Nikon D90; they add a ‘wow’ factor on the photos. These filters cut the polarized light that hits on the lenses. These filters can remove unwanted reflections introduced by water or glass or other non-metallic surfaces.

The Nikon EN-EL3e Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery is one most important Nikon D90 accessories. You can ensure the best rechargeable battery life; use the usual complete charge of the battery prior to recharging it. A newly charged spare battery enables this and offers uninterrupted photography.

What are the best SDHC/SD memory cards for your Nikon D90? Consider getting Kingston, SanDisk, or Lexar. It is best to buy two 8G memory cards, which you will need when shooting HD videos.

The Nikon CF-D80 Semi-Soft Case is a great bag for D90 users. This bag has the appearance and looks of the real and soft glove leather, which you can buy for great price. If you need a backpack for your camera, go for the good-looking Lowepro Slingshot 200 All Weather Backpack; but if you want a nice shoulder bag, buy the Lowepro Rezo 170AW.

The Manfrotto 322RC2 and the Manfrotto 190XPROB 3 Section Aluminum Pro Tripod are good tripods. Both tripods are great, receiving favorable reviews on Amazon. They suit your Nikon D90.

Finally, get the Wireless Remote Control ML-L3; it is the right remote control for your D90. What is great about this sleek remote control is that you can directly trigger the shutter without disturbing your camera. This remote control is perfect for difficult to approach subjects or for minimizing the vibrations.

The D90 sells at $999.95 in the United States for the body only and at $1299.99 with the body plus the Nikkor AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR. Now is the perfect time to purchase a Nikon D90.

I cannot ask for more. The light metering is fine, looking accurate in almost every instance. I have been trying my Nikon D90 in many lighting conditions, and I am glad it gives me great results most of the time.

If you are into action photography, like wildlife or sports, then buy Nikon D90 gear. I am betting you will like the camera’s ultra-fast autofocus. Nikon rises AF to new heights; the camera leverages 9 focus points in a precise array.

You will also love the fact that you can shoot continuously at 4.5 fps. There are numerous other reasons why you should buy Nikon D90 gear, but space does not permit to enumerate them all here.
