Hey there. I currently own a D-90. I bought it back when it was the hot new body. Its still pretty popular even with todays newer models. In fact you'll be hard pressed to see anything negative about it on this forum. It does everything I need it to do. Allthough if you were to compare it to say the 5000's-7000's models it's a little dated as far as technology. I can't give you any specifics as I don't dig into the specs on much unless I'm interested in it. You can most likely pick one up for around $800-$900.
Good luck in you're decision and keep us posted on you're choice and how you like whatever it is you've choosen.

Great camera for what it is, which is old technology when you consider what else is available out there. What I'm missing is some crucial information regarding things like what you are considering paying for it and what kind of photography you'll be doing with it. I have no problem recommending the camera whole-heartedly, but to be "crucial" (or critical) I would need to know more about what you plan on photographing. As a first DSLR kit it will work fine, but there may be better options for your money, depending on what that is.

You will not regret it. It's a sweet camera that performs really well. But you'll have to get other lenses as well if you plan to do weddings with it. I think that with a D90, a 28 1.8, 50 1.8 and 85 1.8 and a good glass unit you'd be good to go. Eventually, you might want to upgrade the body, but invest in lenses first.

I have one, and it's been my go-to go-everywhere DSLR for over a year now. This camera takes *amazing* shots, and handles all sorts of weather and travel abuse like a champ.

Sips battery power, doesn't hog flash cards, and produces beautiful RAW+JPG images. What more is there to ask for?

I've always said the D90 is an excellent camera. Personally, I wish I had one. :) And like Marcel said, invest in good glass after you get your D90.
Let us know how you make out with your purchase.

Had one for 3 years an loved it. But carefully heed the advise about lenses. You need a wide and a portrait lens and they need to be fast. At least 2.8, and then a good flash. Weddings can be challenging.

Just remember. When it came out it was the cream of the crop. Just because it's an older model doesn't make it any less a camera than what it is.

Go for it, the prices right now new in my area are $629.99 body only. Considering it is a 12.3 MP that should be perfect for almost all uses, alot cheaper than when it first came out thats for sure.

I've had my D90 for only a couple of weeks and so far, so good. This camera really suits me, in terms of image quality, ergonomics, size, weight and capabilities. I was previously a micro 4/3 Olympus and Panasonic user and before that Canon DSLR (10D, 20F, 30D and 40D, not the Rebel models). I found micro 4/3 to be too small and fiddly for my clumsy hands, and I was considering going back to Canon but the Nikon D90 was more attractive. I'm very happy to have taken this direction and if my early impressions are anything to go by, I would recommend the D90 unreservedly.

I bought my D90 last year to upgrade my D70, it's a cracking camera and so far I can't fault it, it does everything I ask of it, it's well built and it will handle doing weddings with no problems .....

I just bought a used D90 for $325.00 with about 25k shutter count and I'm really looking forward to it being delivered, hopefully next week! :D
I hope you'll love whatever model you decide to get! :)

I used a lot my father in law's D90. Great camera. Great performance. Great handling. Myself I think really to get one too. I know the D7000 or D7100 is great but I love the D90.

Just see what is my next adventure.
