Rating: - D90 vs. D40
I am fairly new to photography. Last year I got the D40. I just upgraded to the D90 because I was tired of futzing with the white balance of the D40, and I wanted more low-light sensitivity (better ISO), as well as the flexibility of using faster lenses, many of which are not AF-S.
I have been very impressed with the D90. I'm comparing it to the D40. The things that I think are important are ranked from most to least important.
1. Active D-lighting (ADR). This has gotten me photos with large dynamic ranges of light (highly shaded subjects with a bright background) that I would have otherwise botched. Also, we rent a house where they did a quick paint job in white, but there are splotches of beige and light green underneath. We've never successfully taken photos of this with the D40 or our point-and-clicks. The D90 pulls these out (without flash) to the point where it's easier to see them in the photo than by eye, and it nails the colors! I also suspect that the ADR is helping tame the noise at high ISO levels (see #3 below).
2. White Balance. The white balance is a big improvement over the D40, which botched AWB lots of times. If you look closely, it's not perfect, but close enough for all but the perfectionists, and the beauty is it works in Auto. That means that you can focus on taking pictures and not on fiddling with your settings so much. There's also a lot of flexibility to set your AWB defaults with a lot of precision.
3. Low ... Read More
Rating:  - Best Camera Yet
Even though I have had other digital cameras before ,this is the first d-slr I have owned. I am happy with the camera so far.Even though it is a little inconvenient with the size, I find that it is worth the inconvenince to make good photos.
Low light situations I recommend going to manual focus. The auto focus in these situations will leave you missing the shot. Still shots in low light are no problem if on manual .
Multiple fps in good light will amaze you at what you can capture. I have tried the video feature and the quality is very good ,however using the zoom while videoing is a little cumbersome.
I am presently using 2 sdhd memory cards / 6 write speeds and I have no problem capturing photos even using 4 fps setting.
Rating: - Wow is all I can say
There are plenty of reviews out there, and I don't want to be redundant. So here are some helpful points that I had a hard time ferreting out when doing my research before pulling the trigger on this purchase, given that I was upgrading from a D60 and that I am, like many who are reading reviews on this product, not a professional:
1. I owned the D40, then the D60. So this is my third Nikon. I had trouble deciphering how my lenses, purchased for the D40/D60, would behave when used in this new model. The answer is that the D90 handles all of them perfectly. This includes lenses that have the HSM built in (the Hyper Sonic Motor is packaged in the lens, because the D40/D60 range doesn't have a built in auto-focus motor) as well as those with no internal motor. The D90 has an internal focus motor, so all lenses built for Nikon cameras will auto-focus, including the Nikon 50mm f1.8 lens that I had to manually focus in the D60.
2. The D90 is heavier, but certainly not uncomfortable to hold or carry. Weight will not be a discouraging factor in purchasing this camera.
3. The D90 takes different batteries, so any spares you have for the earlier models will not work on it. Battery life is truly outstanding. I am not even going to buy a spare battery.
4. The user interface is completely different from the D40/D60. I found it intuitive however. The functionality is just superb, much easier and more flexible. This is a pro level camera with the ease of use of ... Read More
Rating: - Best Nikon for the dollar
I own the D80 and D40 and love them both. The D90 is just an outstanding camera in so many ways. What I like the most about this camera is the ease of use. It is by far the easiest camera in the Nikon line yet. The large LCD screen allows me to see exactly what I am doing at all times. For me, over 40 years old, I have a hard time seeing the small top mounted LCD so I love this large one in back. The navigation is so well done and you can navigate all your important settings with a few simple clicks. As for the actual photos....it's a Nikon - so they are great! My only word of caution is to beware of the high ISO capability of this camera. At 3200 ISO I personally do not like the quality of my indoor low light photos of people. The colors are very harsh. So I set it to a max of 1600 when I'm shooting people and I get much better looking images. Other than that it is a great camera. In all honesty the D40 takes just as good of pictures, but the D90 is more fun to use. So if you love your gadgets get this camera you won't be sorry. If money is a primary concern, then go with the D40; it's a great low cost camera -for $550 with two kitted lenses you can't go wrong. If you are eying a D80, then get the D90 instead as it is well worth the extra money.

Nikon D90 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
This is a really good digital SLR camera for someone who is serious about the pictures they take (want much better quality than a point-and-shoot camera can give), but who wants the camera to be able to take most pictures automatically. There are lots of bells and whistles on this camera to help control the picture quality both before and after you take the picture, but you really can set this camera on one of its automatic settings and click away -- and, you'll be amazed at the quality of the pictures. Wow! I would recommend this camera for photographers that used high end film cameras many years ago, and are not satisfied with today's point and shoot cameras. I take mostly family pictures at gatherings, and landscape pictures (mountains and sunsets), but I think one could use this camera for portrait photography, sports photography, and wedding photography with good to very good results. This is the best camera I have used in 15 years or more....
