Advantages: Easy to read clear LCD, Light weight Disadvantages: Limited Flash Range
I bought one of these just over 10 months ago & have used it most weeks since. I must confess that I fell for the pull down diffuser but have never had cases to use it.
I started using this flash on my Nikon D100 & have since bought a D200 both using the same Nikon 24~120 VR Lens.
The focus zoom function works on this flash, by works I am saying you can hear something but I have never noticed the difference when I have it switched off.
On a more positive note, Power management is great. I just leave the flash set in the default STANDBY mode & never turn it off. It turns itself on magically whenever you need it, and goes to sleep when not needed, & is ready in a Flash (get it ?) when you want it.
Exposure compensation may set at the camera or the flash. The flash goes from -3 to +3 stops. If you have both the camera ...
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
in ink now that A4 photos are pin-sharp!
I?ve also noticed that photos are now more ?A4? shaped compared to previous experience where they were strictly 4:3 format which suits me fine. Likewise, movies can be shot in 16:9 mode to suit an ever-larger number of televisions.
The lens in this ?kit?, the VR 18 -105 zoom comes from the upper of Nikon?s two ranges of digital camera auto-focus lenses, is superb in everyday use. It?s all too easy to read professional reviews that talk of a lack of sharpness at full aperture and full zoom and be put off by them. Then you read that they?re talking about blowing up the outer edge of the picture about 10 times, just so that some nit-picker can say, ?See I told you it wasn?t pin-sharp!?
MOANS?
Well, not surprisingly for something I?m going to award 5 stars to, they?re few and far between. This ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: exceptional Review of Nikon D90
Advantages: Small and light. Disadvantages: None so far.
An excellent little DSLR that embodies some older proven Nikon technology like the 10.2 megapixel CCD from the D60/D80 combined with a new 11 point focus system and a shutter mechanism tested to 100,000 cycles.
The body is small, perhaps too small for those with shovel sized hands but it is well made and feels very solid. With a camera this size there is no excuse to leave it at home.
The kit lens produces excellent results and is a good starting point at least.
Battery life is good and SDHC cards are a cheap and plentiful recording medium. As a first step into DSLR photography this is your camera whilst for those more experienced photographers looking for something more discreet and portable this is it.
There are no fancy whistle and bells it is just a good straightforward camera....what more do you need? ...
