It is a "prosumer" model (cross between professional and consumer) meant as a replacement for the Nikon D80. It is also available with the newly announced Nikkor AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR kit lens. Some of the improvements the D90 offers over the D80 include 12.3 megapixel resolution and live view capability. The D90 is also notable for being the first DSLR to offer video recording, with the ability to record HD 720p videos, with mono sound, at 24 frames per second (for up to 5 minutes or 20 minutes for smaller videos).

Add me in as D90 user! I just sell off my previous DSLR 2 days ago after using it for 6 months coz I had fall in love with D90 at first sight After searching for two days and negotiating nearly two hours today at diff shops then I ended to bought it at CAM WORLD, Sg Wang. ( can't get the same offer anymore like those who bought it b4 jan 2009 due to price hike ) But still, I think I had made a right choice since lots of dealer offer D90kit at RM4250, and RM3950 without card+bag and the rest said "No Stock". Please review my purchase list below - is it ok? (please advice so..) - Consider it as the latest Offer Price for D90. ~D90 Body - RM3150.00 ( is it normal the body is made in Thailand? ) ~Toshiba SDHC 4GB Class 2 - free ~Nikon Sling Bag ( can fit 2 lenses + body + flash - it costs RM80-100 ) - free Plus : ~AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D - RM390.00 ~Tamron Di II -AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3XR (Model A14N) - RM1000 ( replacement lens since kitlens for D90 unavailable) ( is it true that the Lens hood is not included-hv to buy it separately? ) ~62mm + 52mm UV filter (Chap Ayam) - RM80.00 And: ~Bought SB600 ( used occasionally for 6mths ) from a friend for RM650 Totaled up is = RM 5294. I don't know... the salesman is quite convincing and I just 'malas' to look for other shop. Some of the items are much higher than before ( I do study the price and doing matching - but those shop who'r able to offer RM3900 D90kit+card+Bag are ran out of stock - Thus I pick this ... What do you think guys? Hopefully I'm not being punk'd. blu3hamm3r - 27/03/2009 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(blu3hamm3r @ Mar 27 2009, 03:45 PM) Pls add me in the list too, just brought my D90 this morning,thanks Shop name : LTK Electronics Sdn Bhd Item : D90 + kitlens 18-105vr +4g SD + Nikon bag = RM3900 Item2 : Hoya UV filter RM140 Item3 : Hoya CPL filter RM150 Item 4 : Tamron super wide lens 10-24mm F2.8 = RM2000 Item 5 : Monfrotto tripod RM550 Item6 : Lowepro bag RM350 Item 7 : SB600 RM690 (last unit, new coming stock price will be RM790) The uncle told me that all the DSLR accesories price will increase very soon 10%-15%.

Best to do this test before you make payment. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 1. For brand new camera, the very first time you switch on your camera, it should ask you to set the language, region, date and time. 2. Even if you reset the camera, the language, region, date and time will remain un-reset. So best way to guess it is brand new camera, is by seeing those screens. How to detect Dead/Hot Pixel on your sensor? Best to do this test before you make payment. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 1. Put your Lens Cap on. 2. Set to Manual focus. 3. Disable AutoISO. Manually set ISO to 3200. 4. Take a photo. 5. View the image from your camera. Zoom in a little. 6. Try to spot blue/red/green dots. If it is there. Congratulations! You have got Dead/Hot Pixel. What to do if you have Dead/Hot Pixel on your sensor? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Option 1:- 1. Send to Nikon Service Centre. They will remap it for you. This process might take up to 10 days. 2. Remapping doesn't guarantee to solve the problem permanently. The Dead/Hot Pixel might appear again in the future. Option 2:- 1. Live with it. It is only a few pixel out of the millions of pixel. 2. Take photos in NEF (Nikon RAW). 3. Use Adobe LightRoom / Nikon Capture NX to process the photo from NEF (Nikon RAW) into JPEG. Both the software will auto remove the Dead/Hot Pixel when export NEF (Nikon RAW) to JPEG. No need to do any settings. Basically, just import NEF (Nikon RAW) -> export to JPEG. Dead/Hot pixel will be removed automatically in the JPEG. 4. Wait until your warranty is about to be over. Send it for remapping and cleaning. How to detect Dust on your sensor?

The Dust gets too many, and you are tired of post processing, so... 2. Send to Nikon Service Centre. They will clean it for you. Option 3:- 1. You get tired of going to Nikon Service Centre all the time, so... 2. Clean it yourself. This can be risky if you do not have the right tools and know what you are doing. 3.

Take a photo in JPEG. 2. Copy the JPEG into your computer. 3. Download Opanda IExif. Install it. 4. Open the JPEG file in Opanda IExif. 5. Find the entry 'Total Number of Shutter Releases for Camera'. The value represents the shutter count. Which SDHC memory card should you go for? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « For 8GB, Nikon D90 can take up to 539 NEF (Nikon RAW) files. For 16GB, Nikon D90 can take up to 1114 NEF (Nikon RAW) files. If you plan to take in JPEG mode, the number of files will be more than double the amount of NEF (Nikon RAW) files. That is really a lot for normal day2day shooting or short trip. So what is recommended? My personal opinion is go for 8GB, SDHC (30MB/s edition). Take note of the logo on the SDHC memory card. Don't be confused by 30MB/s Edition and 20MB/s Edition. Now, let's say you need more capacity / have more money? Should you go for 16GB? A lot of people would advise that you should not put all the eggs in one basket. Same advise can be applied here. It would be advisable to have multiple SDHC memory card rather than 1 big capacity. This is just in case it got corrupted, not all photos are lost and you still have another SDHC memory card with you to use. It would also be recommended to format your SDHC memory card (from your camera) every time after you have access it from a computer.
