I bought this camera June 5th 2009, it cost me close to £900 but so far has been worth every penny!. im sure if you have got to the point of reading this review you are well aware of the specs if not thats the best place to start. while looking for a DSLR I looked at this and the 2 other price range competitors the Canon EOS 500D and the other Nikon D5000. this was a very hard choice I found that while playing around with all 3 in shops the D90 had the best video, and more vibrant pictures than the Canon. but that still left me with the two nikons the only thing that separated them in my books was the screens the larger screen on this D90 or the smaller lower resolution on the D5000. and as i like to take lots of photos and look at them i went for the D90. I have never looked back. I use the Camera for taking the normal photos holiday snaps walks general purpose and it never fails to deliver even for me who has never read a photography book had a lesson. i find that it is able to deliver pictures of great quality and clarity even when a novice like me moves from the standard modes into the manual modes. the lens that comes with it is great. just what you want with a camera of this budget. it covers a good range and focuses quickly but when in dark conditions this is slower as the use of the focusing light comes into play. one of my favorite features of the camera that i did not look into before buying is the battery life. it last for ever! I take a lot of photos at night with the flash blazing and the focus light going the screen brightness on full and reviewing and deleting photos previewing them to the subjects and i am still able to fill up an 8gb card and transfer them to p.c. in one battery life. thats normally around the 1300 photo mark on the lowest compression setting (highest resolution) so if you are torn between these 3 cameras the D90 is yet to let me down even in the varied and tough conditions I throw it into.
