    4 Stars My second Nikon 19/03/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Build, reliability, image quality, functions, the name & value for money especially second hand

    Disadvantages Disadvantages to heavy for some, slightly noisy focusing, lenses and flash units expensive

    I owned a Nikon F301 in my teens and that camera was brilliant! I then caught the Auto focus bug and purchased a Canon EOS 100 which took brilliant pictures nearly as good as the Nikon and the auto focus was ultra fast and you could hardly hear it focusing, the Nikon is not as quiet but not to noisy. Anyway i like the sound of the motordrive being loud. The thing that really bugged me about the Canon was that it was TOO lightweight! It felt like a toy and very plasticy. I was sure that if I dropped it that would be the end of it! So after a couple years I was tempted back to a good solid Nikon ... more

    5 Stars Quick review of Nikon F90x by wilkinsgraham 07/09/2007
    Solid, robust, excellent build quality and reassuringly heavy. Mine never let me down once in 8 years. Fabulous results and as versatile as you could ever want.

    5 Stars F90-X still shines 30/01/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Solid, reliable, matrix metering, secondhand values

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Weight, purchase price

    A good camera never dies, it simply gets a few more scratches. I have owned and used a Nikon F90-X for over 3 years, and have found it faultless and very solid. A bit on the heavy side perhaps, but the pro grip (vertical shooting) and the very accurate matrix metering system more than make up for this. As always with Nikon, the lenses are impeccable (if expensive). Also like all other 'pro' Nikon cameras, they really hold they're value on the seconhand market. Now digital photography is evolving so rapidly, I have decided not to replace this until a Nikon D1 comes down under £1000. Then I can ... more

    5 Stars Such a wonderful piece of kit 06/05/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reliable, durable, cost effective and overall a brilliant quality camera

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A touch on the noisy side maybe

    I shoot black and white most of the time, with colour film only coming out for wildlife shoots, and i have to say that the f90x really hits the spot when it comes to black and white art photography. The metering system really gets it right everytime, my prints are always as i imagined them in the viewfinder and this is extremely valiuable. For wildlife work the speed of the camera really shines through, coupled with the advanced tracking autofocus, you can track and shoot marauding hawks or frolicking hares at ease and with pleasure. The only drawback whilst shooting wildlife that i have found ... more

    5 Stars Excellent camera 07/08/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Ease of use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cost can be prohibitive

    I have owned one of these cameras for some considerable time. I am a semi=professional photographer and use the camera for photographing weddings. It is a camera that can be easily used in auto and manual modes. It has a couple of different metering and is robust and reliable. i have, unfortunately dropped the camera and it still works fine, despite the scratches! The camera uses either autofocus or manual Nikon lenses. It produces top quality photographs and is a pleasure to own. The camera is easy to use and I personally do not use it to its full potential. It is easier to use it for taking ... more
