Nikon D90 DSLR 18-105mm VR Kit


The D90 is in the house and the general consensus is that it offers some significant improvemets over the excellent D80. To begin, the D90 has a 12.3 MP CMOS sensor while the D80 has a 10.2 MP CCD sensor. A CMOS (complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) is a sensor touted for its faster operating speed and lower power consumption when compared to a CCD sensor.

The D90 has added a sensor cleaning system and increases maximum ISO sensitivity to 6400 as compared to the D80's 3200. Frames per second (fps) has stepped up from 3 in the D80 to 4.5 in the D90. The LCD monitor on the D90 is a larger 3" versus the D80's 2.5." Add Movie Mode and Live View in the same size body as the D80 and it is easy to see why some Nikon owners might be swayed to move up to a D90.

In various blogs I have seen much debate about how useful it is to have a video capability in a DSLR. There seems to be as many photographers for as against. The D90 can only take 5 minutes of video and while the results are not bad, they in no way match the video capability of a camcorder. On the other hand, having video capability could be useful for that rare moment when you come face to face with Big Foot.

There also seems to be two camps when it comes to Live View. I think it is best to consider these recent innovations as more bells and whistles. It can't hurt to have them available and I'm told that these features do not increase the cost of the camera in any significant way.

Bottom line, the D90 is an improvement when compared to the outstanding D80 and offers users more versatility - not a bad thing if you think about it.

Nikon D90 DSLR 18-105mm VR Kit - In Stock $1,299.99

The D700 sports a 12MP full frame FX format for simply magnificent photos and even a full frame viewfinder. This is somewhat comparable to that of the D3 but with a couple of advantages. First advantage is that its body is like the more compact D300. The second advantage over the D3 is that the D700 is officially the first professional Nikon camera with a built-in flash. Thirdly, the camera even includes an internal image sensor cleaning with micro vibrations to rid the sensor of any dust particles as seen in many of the new SLRs in the market. The shutter speed is slightly slower than the D3 at 5 frames per second but with the MB-D10 battery grip, you can raise that up to 8 frames per second.
