    Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

    Strengths: Amazing Video & Professional Detail

    Weaknesses:SLR Not P&S

    Overall Evaluation: I would give Nikons apparent flagship model a 9 out of 10. I just got mine from ButterflyPhoto not a week ago and already I've amassed 100s of shots to upload. I used the D300 for a year before I got this one. A+

    Strengths: Lightweight, good fast lens

    Weaknesses:MOTHING

    Overall Evaluation: Awesome picture quality, same as my D300. It is much more plasticy than a D300, but I like it because it's much lighter and fits my hands perfectly. There isn't an obvious video button, but it was easy to figure out once you hit the LV (live view) button it prompts you to press OK to start recording. The top LCD screen is smaller than the D300. The 3 inch screen is amazing, just like the D300. This is a huge leap forward compared to the D80. It's an even bigger leap that they've pulled off high quality video that's user friendly! Put a Sigma 10-20mm or the Nikkor 10.5 fisheye, and you'll have some epic video shots. The 18-105VR lens is lighter than it looks, much lighter than the 18-200VR, feels very solid and is quite smooth. The standard definition video is good (haven't watched it on a large screen yet), and gives you 20 minute clips vs 5 min clips in HD mode. The zoom also worked when in video mode, but the Autofocus is fixed. Once in LiveView it takes a second to autofocus, then you can press OK and start recording. Sound isn't stellar of course. It has a small microphone and speaker, so you can actually hear the video your reviewing. So far this is my favorite new gadget of 2008. Wedding Videographer's rejoice! (i'm shooting one next week)

    Strengths: Sharp photos, automatic dust removal, video

    Weaknesses:A little heavy with zoom lens connected, a zillion features to learn, video is not continuous focus

    Overall Evaluation: If you've ever owned a Nikon camera, then you knew that this would be a fantastic camera before Nikon finally announced it even existed. The year long anticipation appears to have paid off. This is one sharp, fast reacting camera. It has the latest technology of the top of the line D300 with the more moderate features and price of the mid-line cameras - not to suggest that this camera is cheap, but if photography is your thing, at least it's not out of reach. In addition to the usual assortment of SLR features such as automatic and manual modes, bracketing, and so on, this camera has many scene modes and also records video. However, the down side to the video is that you need to set the focus before you start recording because the mirror is up while it records, so it cannot do continuous focus. The camera also has vibration reduction built into in the lens and internal vibration to clean the dust off of the sensor (which can be a big problem with SLRs). There's lots more, but it will take me a while to finish reading the short novel they call a user's manual - which is provided in both English and Spanish in 2 separate books. There is also a quick start guide (in both languages) to help beginners jump in without going through all 278 pages of the larger book.

    Strengths: Lightweight, good fast lens, VR

    Weaknesses:No in body vr

    Overall Evaluation: The d90 is a great camera body. i upgraded from the D70 and have not been disappointed. My only issue is that the grip is slightly small so it's hard to hold (i'm 5'11 with normal sized hands). It's perfect for my wife to hold though! The 3" screen is amazing and the photo quality is excellent. The lens is good for the price - not th ebest but not the worst either. VR is a nice touch.
