Moving on up with my new Nikon D90

New Nikon D90 taken with iPhone

Santa was good to me this year. He She (my wife) gave me the green light to pick up a new DSLR for Christmas this year and after tons of research and a lot of waffling back and forth, I decided on the Nikon D90. Why Nikon and why the D90?

  • I used to use and old Nikon N70 (film camera) and I still have 2 lenses that I wanted to be able to use again.
  • The D90 is the cheapest Nikon that will still auto-focus my older lenses since it has a focusing motor in the body.
  • I never read a bad review of the D90 - seriously, try to find a bad review…I tried and couldn’t find one.
  • It’s a good balance of value and performance.

I’ve only had it charged up for a few hours and I’ve taken 60 or so pictures and it’s worlds better than the Panasonic Lumix point-and-shoot I was using but we’re not exactly comparing apples to apples here either. I still have quite a bit to learn about the D90 and I plan on sharing anything and everything I learn.
