I'm new to the DSLR world and did a lot of research before deciding on the D90 about three months ago. All I can say is that I have been delighted with the ease of use and picture quality. One feature that I am especially glad this camera has is the two separate rings for adjusting ap and shutter. It is a time saver and helps minimize the confusion for this newby. All in all, it was pretty easy to learn how to use. There are many options for customizing the controls as well as customizing your exposures. This camera will serve me for a long time.
I would have given this a 5 star review except for the video. I know that it is a still camera and I will be using it for that 99.9% of the time. Nikon, however, did advertise it as being able to shoot HD video. I have no problems with any of the limitations with the exception that it is supposed to be HD video and I've not seen anything close to HD quality as of yet. I'd give it 4 1/2 stars if I could.

I don't have much to add about the camera itself. It is stellar. Image quality and dynamic range are superb.
However, a reviewer below comments that it could be worth waiting for the D90's replacement, which is due out sometime this fall (or maybe later). There is a strong case for not waiting and picking up the D90 now. First, the price may not actually go down that much after the launch of the successor. Like the D40, the D90 is a milestone camera that will likely continue to be in demand even after its official product life is over. The D40, which itself has been discontinued for many months, is currently sold by various sellers on Amazon for a couple of hundred MORE than the last official MSRP. This is simply a function of supply and demand, and the same may be expected for the D90 over time because of how highly it is regarded. Second, while a new model usually has desirable new features - and there is no reason to think the D90 replacement will not have improvements over the D90, especially with respect to video capability - it may be worth waiting for the launch hype to subside, take in a few in-depth reviews, and wait for any initial firmware updates.
In a nutshell, the D90 is a great camera, regardless of what will come after it. Unless more advanced video capability is a must-have, there is not much reason to miss out on shooting with the D90 now.

I have captured lots of images with this camera and its been great from its handling to the high quality low light abilities to its quick 4.5fps speed. This was a great camera. But... a new Nikon D90 replacement will be out in a few months with the announcement coming out at Photokina in Germany 9.21-9.26. So if you are considering getting a D90 this late in the cycle you might want to hold off a few months to see how they improve on this great camera. Check out Nikon rumors dot com for more information. But if you can't wait I am pretty sure this will be several hundred cheaper than the new one coming out although it won't have all the features but still you can't go wrong. I no longer have this camera and am waiting for the update of the D90.

Wow! Feels rock solid. First impression says it all. Debated between Canon T2i and 7D. First, T2i feels light, somewhat like a toy camera. The 7D feels solid but not worth the price.
This is my first Nikon DSLR and it's here to stay. Go with Nikon 16-85mm lens and you won't be disappointed! Video at 720p is great as well. Overall, I glad I made the right decision.

This is an awesome camera. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it is a bit heavy to carry around and it does require a great deal of time to learn the features. I am a "Nikon snob" and have an older Nikon 6006 SLR that has served me well for years. Now that I'm retired and have more time for my photography habit, I wanted to move up to a digital SLR. I chose the D90 because I can use the auto-focus lenses I already own. If I didn't already have the lenses, I would have bought the D5000. I also love the HD video ability of this camera. I've only been using it for a short time and the difficulties I've encountered are purely of the "operator error" type. The camera is fantastic! Geared more for professionals and serious hobbyists than amateurs. I love it.
