Advantages: Movies, LiveView, 12.3 mpixels, build quality, excellent lens range Disadvantages: Still quite bulky for casual use. Expensive if that's all you want it for
by producing stunning shots of a ?black cat in a coal hole? nature with minimal picture degradation.
?AUTO? is for?well Automatic. There?s not a lot of difference here, but full automatic mode also decides to use the flash where needed, whereas P doesn?t.
I?ve yet to see the logic of the ?AUTO without Flash? mode though ? isn?t that P by another name?
You?ve also, on the same dial, got a series of ?creative? pictograms which, when selected bias the camera to the subject in question. For example, the picture of an athlete sets the camera to the upper range of shutter speeds and it hangs on to them till the light levels dictate otherwise.
The landscape setting discourages the camera from focussing on nearby objects.
If my experience with both the D70 and the D90 is anything to go by, I?ve hardly ever used these. Indeed, it?s hard to ...

How I made my choice
I recently bought the D90 to upgrade from my Olympus 560UZ bridge camera, so this is my first foray into DSLR photography. Most people starting in DSLR photography will opt for the cheaper D40, or the D60, D70 and D80. I am not particularly rich, and in the end chose the D90 because I didn't want to grow out of the smaller DSLR and have to buy a new body quickly. I have found that the prices of Nikon DSLRs haven't decreased significantly over the last 3 years, so I decided (maybe wrongly) that this option would save me money in the long run. I found that it is very important to go into a shop and hold the camera in your hands before making a choice. All the photography shop assistants said that the Canon series was just as good as the Nikons, but I discounted them because I didn't get on with the feel ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Nikon D90
Advantages: Looks great, two different ovens, 5 hobs, cleans easily Disadvantages: Expensive
When I moved into my new house (a new build on a new development) the kitchen came with the impressive kitchen beast that I like to call the Rangemaster 90 (when I say came free I mean didn't have to pay extra on top of the extortionist price we had to pay for the house).
Anyway, I was very impressed by this little fact and that almost sold the house to me then and there, but not quite. If you have to buy them I believe they are in the region of £1,500 but in my opinion well, well worth it if you can afford it.
Anyway, I can tell you, I am the envy of all my friends now whenever they come over as after 2 years they still mention the oven as the first thing they do when they walk in the kitchen.
According to a recent range cooker survey carried about by Which ? magazine, they voted it best buy August 2007 and for the Toledo 110 ...
