Released in August of 2008, the Nikon D90 DSLR raises the bar with a plethora of digital photography features, including:
- The first DSLR to record video
- Live View mode
- Face priority auto-focus for razor sharp portraits and candids
- Large 3″ LCD screen with 170 degree viewing angle
- Active-D Lighting Control for on the fly tone correction in high contrast situations
- ISO range from 100-6400, auto selectable or manual
- Sensor Cleaning Technology
- GPS port for geotaging images as they are shot
I was given the Nikon D90 and a Nikkor 18-105mm DX lens with image stabilization to take for a test spin and review around the lovely island of Whidbey in Washington State. As is typical of Washington in the winter, the day was overcast with a bit of fog lingering throughout which meant some really nice, even light. This is also the first Nikon I’ve used in quite a long time. For full disclosure, I’ve used Canon DSLRs for over 6 years but I don’t give in to the blind brand loyalty some profess. I’ve chosen Canon simply because those are the lenses I have. So I was excited for the chance to try something new and review the Nikon D90.
