There's been a legion of digital cameras that have passed through my hands since they started to become a serious contender for 35mm's domination of the amateur market. Going from memory, they've included Philips, Casio, Canon, Nikon and errr.....Nikon. Of course the last one, my first DSLR, a Nikon D70 was going to be the last; but then we all say that don't we, lads? What I really meant was "the last for quite a while". LOOKS LIKE THE "QUITE A WHILE" HAS EXPIRED Then my daughter started making noises about a night-school class in photography, where the minimum kit requirement just so happened to be a DSLR, and I ...  Read the complete review

This camera has been around for a while now but it is a great choice for those who want to get a little more serious about photography. To my mind it is a great little camera. It is very similar to the d5000 appart from the fact that it has a built in focus motor, meaning that the range of lenses that you can use autofocus with are greatly increased. It also feels slightly more sturdy in the hand than the d5000. Picture quality is great and the images procduced are very clear and crisp with negligable chrmoatic abberation or distortion. The one thing that does let this camera down in my opinion is the movie function. It is fine for a muck about but nothing like good ...  Read the complete review

It is camera which has done justice to all lovers of photography and Nikon fans in particular. It has almost lived up to it's promise and more than satisfied all who has been eagerly waiting for it which was an almost foregone conclusion after Nikon D80 was launched exactly 2 years ago. To cap it all it is the first camera to support movie capture which must be accepted as a revolutionary but expected addition into the features of a DSLR. It will be a big mistake to assume that it is just a routine upgrade of Nikon D80 because it provides some significant enhancement over its predecessor and has made itself the most sought after camera the world over in spite ...  Read the complete review

I'm sorry, this is a loooong one. Go on, skim it. I don't mind. See you at the bottom! There's not much /scope/ for witticisms when reviewing a camera. In fact moving away from my traditional /point of focus/ in the videogames section has left me feeling somewhat creatively /exposed/. In case you were wondering when I was going to /shutter/ up and get on with the review, fear not; I think I've /captured/ all the tedious camera puns I can fit into one paragraph. Hang on, hang on... /LENS/ me your ears while I peruse the Nikon D90 VR lens kit. I hate myself sometimes. I'm assuming that as a reader you'll be considering your purchase as an ...  Read the complete review

The D90 is one of many cameras I have owned, and whilst its not the best, its certainly well up there. I downgraded to a D90 from a D700, which is quite a drop in price, but the quality of the D90 is really not far behind its much bigger brother. The D90 is currently being phased out, and as such prices are starting to fall, with the body only coming in at just £589. This will drop more in the coming months as the D7000 and the next generation of Nikon prosumer cameras emerge. The D90 shares the same DX sensor as the D300, and its 12.3 Mpix chip produces noise free, quality images throught the ISO range. ISO 1600 is easilly useable in the camera. ...  Read the complete review
