The Nikon D90 has finally been released and it looks awesome! :)

Here's some specs:



  • [*]12.3 megapixels


    [*]D-movie function


    [*]High ISO/low-noise performance


    [*]4.5 frames per second

    [*]3 inch, 920dot LCD with Live View

    [*]Pop up flash with ‘commander’ mode to interface with Nikon's lighting system

    [*]GPS tagging
    ​

The two features that stick out the most at me (although they're not really that important, but just because as far as I know they are a first in a DSLR) are the Movie mode (which shoots up to 720p HD (1280 x 720 pixels)) at 24 fps and the GPS geotagging.

Check out the Nikon website: http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Product/Digital-SLR/25446/D90.html :D
 
Too bad it doesn't shoot video at 30FPS, but I guess it's fine if you leave your camcorder home and want to make a quick video.

=O are you mad ? :confused:
 
The Canon 50D seems to have better specs :P

Although, I have to admit, the video feature is pretty neat. Good move on Nikons part IMO.

More Megapixel doesn't mean better SLR :)

In fact the D90 has the High ISO option (ISO6400) that the 50d doesn't have.
 
Ummm...When did I EVER say anything about higher MP meaning better SLR? Dont even go there.

The 50D also has a higer FPS, 1/4000 faster shutter speed (up to 1/8000),

Also, the 50D CAN do ISO 6400, it can even do ISO 12800.
50D
ISO:
Auto ISO (100-6400)
Basic Zone modes (ISO 100-3200)
High Tone Priority mode(ISO 200-1600)
Extension mode (ISO 12800 with C.Fn.I-3-1)


I'm not saying that the 50D blows away the D90 in at all, I think they are both great cameras and each one has it's advantages and diss-advantages. But I think the 50D is slightly better.

No need to feel offended, wasn't insulting your intelligence...

Anyways let's just say both have they're goods and bads, don't want to get in a fight.
 
Who in their right mind would use ISO6400 anyway, unless you had a full frame sensor (D3). It's not really the camera that produces the images these days; it's the glass that’s attached to it. I would rather use expensive/ fast f/2.8 lenses and have a cheaper camera, as there is no point investing in new cameras if you can't afford the glass!
