[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 2958, member: 654"] Essence of Imagery is correct. The D90 was designed by Nikon for that market group that are just starting out in photography and are serious about learning and going as far as their ability and talent will let them. The D90 has point and shoot features that will allow anyone to start shooting and getting good pictures almost right out of the box. Then it has many features desired by professionals.
