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
. The D90, whilst looking, from the front at least, identical now boasts a picture definition of 12.3 mega pixels, twice that of the D70.
However, it?s in what else it can now do that it outstrips the D70 by a mile.
For one thing, it has the capability to shoot movies (yes, movies) in 720 line hi-def which can then be fed via an HDMI port direct to an HD-ready TV.
Unlike the first wave of DSLRs, you can now preview the shot you?re about to take on the LCD screen at the back rather than use it to play back existing shots only. This has long been the ?Holy Grail? of SLR makers since SLRs still retain a physical shutter that keeps the ?film? or rather the electronic sensor in the dark till ready to fire so this is no mean feat. However, it?s not unique to Nikon ? I think Olympus, Canon and maybe others have been doing this for a while now ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: exceptional Review of Nikon D90
I do like being nosey and I always spy on my neighbours it gives me a sense of well being and although I have been to the dr about this apparently its not a mental condition. I just enjoy looking at things, i'm no peeping tom but I really do enjoy watching the birds whether they have wings or legs... Anyway enough about my social life, today I am reviewing this pair of Nikon 10 x42 binoculars! They are fantastic and have the following great features:
All lenses and prisms are multilayer coated for the brightest images
Phase correction coated roof prisms for high resolution
High-reflection mirror-coating prisms for bright image
High-eyepoint design provides a clear field of view, even for eyeglass wearers
Close focusing distance : 2.5m
Eco-glass optics free of lead and arsenic
Waterproof and fog-free with O-ring seals ...
Advantages: excellent service, staff, food Disadvantages: hard to get out of seats when everybody's food trays are down
Well, my holiday to Zakynthos (Zante) has given me plenty to write about over the next few days! After telling you about my holiday as a whole, it's time to give the airline that got me there and brought me back, the Simmer treatment... And since they insisted on bringing me back, my review may not be too good! ;o)

CHECKING IN & BOARDING
Where the excitement and anticipation begins for anybody about to jet off on their holidays!! Since my family has developed a policy of getting to the airport extremely early, we were treated to an brilliantly short check-in queue at Manchester Airport. But, I sincerely doubt that this lasted for very long.
Monarch insist on having numerous desks, all labelled as check-in for 'All Monarch Flights'. I'd imagine that as the day goes on, this could get extremely inconvenient, especially ...
