What does anyone think of the new D90

I just bought this camera. I was loving the video mode, but don't see any reviews on it. What are people saying about it. I just traded it for the canon 20D. I hope I am not making a mistake.

Cindy

Personally I like the D90 a lot, and the images it can produce, its a great upgrade on the other Nikon cameras and a great camera in general. For a detailed review you can check out: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0808/08082702nikond90previewed.asp . If you like Nikon, and have some Nikon lenses, then you made a good decision. Most of the SLRs above $1000, within the same price range, perform very similarly, so you basically can't go wrong. Some people will argue this, but there really isn't a huge difference between cameras within the same price range.

This will be my first Nikon. I have been using the Canon 20D. Have had several issues with it. After the 4th time in for repair and Best Buy doing a switch on me with them thinking I wouldn't recognize they did this, they gladly let me pick out a new camera. I went with this and was hoping I hadn't made a bad choice. Didn't want to unwrap until I really checked into some site and seen what people were saying.

Well... I mean if you have Canon lenses then... stick with Canon, in fact I would go to the Canon 50D, which is a pretty new camera, and takes amazing pictures before I went to the Nikon D90. Both are good cameras, when closely analyzing the images I like the 50D more than the D90 though.

Well you may want to consider trading the D90 back in again. The Canon 5D Mk. II shoots full frame 1080p hidef video that is simply STUNNING. So much so that people are saying that this camera changes everything. Don't believe me? See for yourself.

Course, the body is $2700!

More to the point. Leo Laporte (formerly from TechTV and now of Twit.TV) has had nothing but positive things to say about the D90. Think's it's a fabulous camera and that the 720p video is a really great feature. Then he saw the Canon 5d Mk II. Now it's all he talks about. Such is fluid nature of technology I guess.

I don't think you made a mistake at all. Unless you watch that video link above, that is.

Yes that sounds great, but the $2700 would be out of my price range. I am not that good at taking pictures!

The 50D that I recommended above is the less expensive 5D. The major difference between the two is that the 5D has a full frame sensor, while the 50D doesn't. This doesn't amount to too much unless you're doing some serious editing and photography; I know a lot of wedding photographers who don't even use a camera as expensive as the 5D. The 5D is ideal for sports, and good for everything, but the 50D is a much cheaper alternative, that still retains the Canon quality.

Of course, and Aditya is right. The 5D is a more affordable option. I'm justs seeing stars after watching that movie the 5D Mk II made.

But you can still get the 5D Mk I. Which will have a nice price drop now that the 2nd generation camera is out.
