Saluting a Champion!

Now, before anyone gets the idea that I am raising the D90 above everything else out there, forget it. I am not.

I just wanted to express how pleased I have been with my D90 and what a great camera I think it truly is.

It's rather low mega pixel resolution, slow frame advance rate compared to others, smallish viewfinder, and older AF system make it less desirable to most these days but it sure is a work horse!

Its dated and nearly in the "obsolete" family, but like the venerable Fairchild A-10 Warthog, it is just too good to retire it.

I have just been reading though the pages of the D90 forum and there are very very few threads where there were any complaints or real issues. I know the D90 had some issues with a PCB board failure but it seems not to be very common. Other issues and complaints were mostly not the fault of the camera itself but rather that of battery, user or battery grip problems that caused the camera to have issues.

Nikon hit a home run with this camera I do believe and I am proud to own mine. Matter of fact, I would love to have a second one. I do want the D7000/7100 series eventually but I am just not in a hurry.

Cheers to the D90!

I absolutely love my D90. It will be a sad sad day if I ever decide to pass it along to someone else.

Mike,

Like you, I still appreciate my D90 and what it can do, although I'm using it less and less. I plan to pass it on to on of my children soon, though; before it has too many shutter actuations. It has been,and still is, a very good digital camera!

I have from time-to-time met a few people shooting the D90 and they have always loved the camera.

I really wish it had a 16mp sensor, of the same build as its 12mp, and I think I would be simply glued to it forever. . . . almost. I know the day will come when I change but you just have to really need a reason to do so.

A chance to flirt with FX is the only reason I bought a second body. But I believe they complement each other well.

D90 was good during its time. I think the more revolutionary camera would be the D700 IMO. Of course YMMV. :)

I still do love me good old D90! Sometimes I like it better than my D7000. The D7000 can do alot more work for me, but now and then less settings and bottons is better than a h... lot of things to fumble with. I have had the experience that if I have taken a photo of the same subject with d90 and d7000, and with the same general settings, the d90 did the job best. But anyway both cameraes are great.
