[QUOTE="Mestre, post: 70130, member: 6032"] If you are on a Mega Pixel hunt, the D90 is outdated when compared to the 3200 or the 3100/5100. However, it is a model that offers a lot more besides what was written here. Besides the opportunity to use older AF-D lens with auto focus - you'll find good quality glass I some of these older lenses - and the bracketing (very important to get the "right" exposure, the D90 has lots of direct control buttons so using the menu is something you don't need as often as the D3100. That will save battery, since you also have the top display where you can control better your settings. There are also the 2 control dials, a DOF control button and an extra button that can be customized, so you can shoot the D90 without any menu control. You will be loosing 1 stop in the ISO - over 1600 noise is noticeable on the D90 - but in the end you'll have a better machine. For the MP and ISO fans, there is always a new camera with new extra top specs, but if you want to g to an upper level know your camera and get good quality glass and the D90 is much better option. The other issue is getting it used, check the number of shots taken. [/QUOTE]
