Nikon D90 hands on preview

When holding the camera, it's just another Nikon DSLR but using it is where the reasoning behind its birth and concept come to light.

As uninterested in video on cameras as I am, the D90 needs to be hailed as a ground breaker simply because it exists. For what it's worth, it seems to work quite well.

At least Nikon have had the decency of using HD to record in. The limited capacity could be a nuisance in some peoples opinion but I can't think where you'd film for more than 20 minutes at a time.

It's a nice camera and is up against the 50D which I've previewed here. Video aside, the D90 has a new D-Lighting setting and added retouching features but that's about it in terms of innovation. I'll be interested to see if the processor does what Nikon say it will in terms of noise reduction. If it's true we should see a better result than the D300 can give.



The Nikon D90 will be availble from September 2008 with the body only having an RRP of £699.99. If you want it with the 18-105mm lens then you're looking at an RRP of £849.99.
