Exactly same story here

[@youngster9267]

Great camera, bought the D90 back in 2008 and have used it until last year 2022 when mirror got stuck while traveling through Korea. Tried every trick found on the web without success, and repairing seemed more than the camera was worth. Did some research and decided to go with Sony A7M4 and two zoom lens in Korea, paying about 20% less than if I had bought them back in the US. I was so attached to D90, I held onto it; and while traveling through the Philippines, found a camera shop that was able to repair it for less than $70. Love both cameras.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Nice! Not a bad price for having it fixed! Congrats on that A7m4!

[@rocksoundrecords2317]

mines did the same 3 years ago..i bought another body just because i loooovvee this camera..still a go to just for feel

[@PbA941]

Your story is very much like mine. I started out with a D40 and then moved to the D90. I got it for the ability to use the older lens. I loved my D90 and only upgrade to a D7200 for the 2 SD slots. It is my backup camera and I wont get rid of it. One of the best DSLR cameras Nikon ever made in my opinion.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Haha! Nice! Glad I'm not the only one that was on that path :) The D90 definitely holds a special place in my heart. Thank you for sharing.

Definitely ! I brought mine while trekking in Scotland, Japan, Finland countless times. The worst weather possible hasn't killed this camera. Pretty much immortal. Even now, nearly 15 years after I bought it, still working perfectly. Also, as long as you don't attempt to make videos, a single battery lasts for days. Compared to newest models that's a huge benefit.

Bought one for my wife in 2009. She still uses it several times a year. For a hobby we haven't had the need to upgrade yet.

[@ArjunSinghal]

i bought the Nikon D90 in 2010. It was my choice against newer cameras for the balance between price and performance. I haven't used it a lot beyond 2012, and it was basically in the bag. I haven't been too much into photography and don't have other cameras to compare it with, apart from my iPhone, but I really liked this video today. I've dug out my D90 and maybe will use some of it in the coming days. Maybe an upgrade next year.

I just acquired a D90 last night from a friend that no longer does photography. Being out of touch with this hobby for many years, I was skeptical to try this older camera out, it's just over 16 years old. However, seeing many positive reviews that have been recently posted about it has given me more confidence in using this and jumping back into photography.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Nice! Enjoy the D90. It's a very fun camera. Have fun with photography first and foremost :) Thank you for sharing!

[@888timesmart]

I bought the D90 when it came out and used it for many years for travel and my kids sports. I then moved to a D7000, then to a smaller D5600 and finally a used D750. I look back on old pictures and I'm still amazed with the sharpness and abilities of the D90. I may try shooting with it again. I haven't felt the need to move to mirrorless.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Nice upgrades! Yeah, I just recently used my D90 at a local car meet and still astonishes me how well of a camera it is! Thanks for sharing!

[@tourinojacks5844]

Great to know. May I ask from the 7000, 750, and 5600, which are the 2 best based on low light performance would you say?

[@888timesmart]

@@tourinojacks5844 The 750 is by far the best in low light since it is full frame. After that, I think the other two are close, but operate pretty differently. For travel, the 5600 is smaller and has the swivel screen. The 7000 has more features, faster shutter, dual cards and such. But for being so old, the 90 still astonishes in color and sharpness.

[@marks9935]

Stumbled here after seeing a review of the D90. First camera for me was the Nikon D50. I thought it was amazing and was impressed with the vibrant colors and the fact that it seemed to make my photography better than I was able to do. later I abandoned Nikon for Canon after too much research. One thing that is a noticeable distinction between the two is the interchangeability of lenses between the Rebel and the xxd series Canons. Of note particularly is the IS capability - still interchangeable between the entire camera lineup. This has become more prominent as the DSLR market ages. There are a LOT of lenses available on the used market. Although I have a soft spot in my heart still for Nikon, I have capitulated to the incredible number of options of Canon in terms of lenses, at least. OF course, once you have invested in glass, it sets your direction for a long time. Still love the Nikons though...

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Thank you for sharing! Interesting experiences you had with your Canon cameras and lenses. It seems that Canon and Nikon were neck and neck in terms of photography and lenses. Canon definitely has the upperhand for video performance though. But totally agree with you about the glass. A good piece of glass, goes a long ways in your photography journey. Appreciate you sharing your experiences.

[@melaidhrin]

D90 was my first interchangeable lens camera bought back in 2009 and it's still kicking. Got a mirrorless for travel but I think the D90 will always have a spot in my heart and a place for local photo walks.

[@paolopiana3168]

That's exactly what happened to me. I bought the D90 ( I was one of the first) in Japan in 2008 . I remember I chosen it "blind" , without looking at the brand . I just held it and looking through the viewfinder, comparing it with canon , pentax and sony . Now I have other cameras ( M4/3 ) but....I cannot get rid of the D90 and I actually still prefer it. There something special about this camera!

[@austinrhubarb]

I bought my D90 in 2009, then a Sony NEX 7 in 2011, and then a Nikon D800 in 2013. I love them all and still use them all. The D800 is for my serious art work, but when travelling on holiday I have my trusty Crumpler bag with a 2 rig set-up. The NEX 7 has its 18-55 lens (and I have printed flawless 1 metre wide shots with this) and the D90 has a Sigma 10-20. This pair gives me everything I need for my travel photography needs. The Sony NEX 7 is still awesome, but the build quality of the Nikon's is incredible.

[@NeilBaileyF1]

Great review. ISO performance still holds up, and it is a tough camera too. Mine has done countless vacations in Europe and the US over a 10 year period. It was also the camera I used to document my kids growing up. Now retired and still in good condition.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Thanks and appreciate you sharing your experience with the D90! Totally agree with you about how tough it is!

[@ethanvaniersel5246]

I definitely agree with you that it's a great cheap camera and the first camera I ever used. Though the only problem with it compared to many of the newer cameras is the problem that it doesn't deal with low light most of the time.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Thanks and I agree, above ISO1000, it gets pretty grainy. One of the reasons why I sold my other D90.

[@zachswy]

I bought my D90 in 2010, racked up more than 100,000 images shooting everything from landscapes to high school sports. (I taught high school for 5 years). Mine has survived subzero shooting, salt spray, and years of hard use -- I don't baby my cameras. I bought a D7000 a few years ago as an upgrade, but kept having autofocus issues (common for that model). I sent it back and got a replacement which had similar issues. Ended up getting a D300. The biggest reason to not get a D90 today is that a D300 is roughly the same price. I've had enough old screw-drive AF lenses that needed a slight AF fine tune and the D90 doesn't have that feature. However, the D90 does about 1/2 stop better at high ISO. Still, both are great cameras!

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Thank you for sharing your experiences with the D90! Much appreciated!

[@OutlawH2]

My first DSLR was the D3200 i still currently have. When i was first looking into getting into DSLRs a few years ago the D90 was still one of the top ones to pick up. But at the time they were not very affordable to someone like me who was just making the transition from Digital zoom cameras like the Coolpix L120. Even then it still took me a few years to even get my D3200. When i started looking at this level of camera the D3000s were just coming out. But now that i am in a better position financially i am seriously considering the idea of picking up a used D90 as well as a D7000 or 7100 to have as secondary cameras to use with my D3200 which i may still end up picking up a spare one of that body as well.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

I think the D7000 (or even the D7100) would make for a nice camera to partner up with your D3200. The only reason I would go with the D90 is the price of one compared to the D7100. I haven't seen the D7100 go lower than $300 around my town but I have seen plenty of D90's on sale for under $150 but those are gone almost immediately.

[@OutlawH2]

@BoostLeekd Media on the site I'm looking at them on they are comparable in price. They have the D3200s at great prices too that's why I might grab a spare D3200 or D3300 as well. That way I can have different lens set ups as well as settings. Making for being highly adaptable for various shooting conditions.

[@odysseusreturns9133]

I bought a D3000 for it's CCD sensor. Great camera but poor low light performance and dynamic range. Considering a D90 to replace it. That has a CMOS sensor.

[@PeterR0035]

In 2010, I used a D90 for about 6 months and quickly sold it again because I missed the aperture sensor ring (I needed that for MF lenses). I kind of still miss it; it has a 2nd gen sensor (a very nice Sony CMOS, where most other camera's had CCD sensors at the time) and was actually better than a Nikon D300 or even a D2x... Nice that it came in the package of a D40; small, lightweight. At the time I only used it with AF-S lenses because they were a lot faster focusing than AF-D lenses (the AF CPU and the motor in the D90 for AF-D are not that fast/strong).

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Nice! Totally agree with you about the sensor. Coming from the D40 to the D90, I can see why some folks really liked the image quality from those 2 sensors.

[@diambo4life]

It's my favorite camera to use. This coupled with a 50mm, 18-75mm and 70-200mm is fantastic. I have a Canon but the colors on the D90 are just more vibrant.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

There are a few but one DSLR that most seasoned Nikon photogs would suggest is the D700. I moved from the D90 to a D700. The D700 was my first full frame camera and that camera definitely still holds up, especially if you can find one in great shape. Thanks for sharing!

Also just acquired a Nikkor 18-70 f3.5-4.5 which is a solid walk around lens. Would you recommend a tamron 18-200 all in one but would there be a degradation in performance over nikon lens?

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

The 18-200 is a very fun lens. I haven't gotten the Tamron version but I know the Nikon version, the one I have, is a bit soft at the higher focal lengths. Thank you for sharing!

[@Bike_Lion]

I'm still using the D90 as my main camera, and it works great, takes great pictures, and if it gets lost, damaged, or stolen, I'm not out a whole lot of money....Some of the higher end lenses I use with it are worth more than the camera body itself, but these days even good quality DSLR lenses have been falling in price, as more and more folks switch to mirrorless. Personally though, I prefer having an optical viewfinder and long battery life. 12 megapixels is plenty for me.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Thanks for sharing! And, totally agree. If the camera and lens falls and for some reason, the lens survives, and the body doesn't, I would be too discouraged as well.

[@RubenRobles]

Very cool! Thank you for the info in your video. We loved out D90. We just dug it out of storage and were going to get it converted to infrared. Can’t wait!!

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

That is awesome! Heard many great things about the Infrared conversions. Enjoy it :)

[@E3lcpl]

Thanks for the video, I just picked up two D90s in a Auction for a good price. But they cam with out lenses so i was wondering what i could use with them. Ill check your other videos out

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

You can get any lenses as long as the lens is LISTED as an 'Nikon F-Mount' lens. Enjoy the D90!

I recently bought a Nikon D90 at a garage sale for $10 (no lens, don't know if it works or not - how can I tell? Yes, it has a battery & charger) ....I've only used point and shoot cameras. I'd like to use it to get started on KZbin. What lens would be an all-purpose to start with? Thanks!!!!

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Depends on your budget. But If you can get the 18-55 lens for it (just to start out with), that is one lens I would suggest. 2 other lenses I would suggest is the 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED IF AF-S DX lens. If you can find that 18-70mm lens for under $50, it's a great lens to start out with. I hope this helps. The D90 is still a very neat camera.

Hello my friend, i have a problem with my D90. I cannot take a photo fast with D90. Very slow shots. How can i fix that? Already thank you for your interest.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

The Nikon D90's FPS is 4.5, and that's okay but it's challenging especially for fast moving subjects. Have you changed the Continuous mode to High? Take a look at page 65 of the D90's Manual and you can see how to switch it from Low to High.

[@jzf128]

Still using mine with nikkor 35MM1.8

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Nice! Same here. The 35 F/1.8 was stuck on my D90 :D

[@appaniniranjan4082]

I bought the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5. Any special specifications I should be aware off

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

the 18-105 is a very nice lens. Much better than the 18-55. As for any lens with that aperture range, you'll get better image quality from it during the day when you have a lot of light to work with. I hope this helps!

[@appaniniranjan4082]

@ thank you so much

[@francisvillareal7517]

got my d90 way back 2010 and still a tank

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Very nice!! Glad to know you still have yours!

[@emmanuelstocco]

I'm about to buy one, here in Brazil cameras are extremely expensive. I want to start photography and in doubt between it, t2, d3000, etc. I'm opting for it... what do you think? in 2024 is it worth it?

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Depends what your budget is and how much you will be using the camera. I think the D90 is still an excellent choice when it's against the D3000 and Canon T2, especially since the D90 can autofocus with the older (and possibly more affordable) Nikon AF-D lenses. I think the D90 is still a very good and capable camera in 2024-2025, especially if you're on a budget.

[@sainathbolla9620]

Is this good for studio photos???

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Yes it is :) The D90 was my MAIN camera for a little over 2 years and I took it to studio shoots, collaborations and family events. Give it a good lens and you will see image quality improve. :)

[@philipkunes9645]

Still using the D90 to this day :)

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

I just got done using mine the other day! It still produces some amazing images and colors.

[@yokeshkumar2402]

D90 vs d5200 which better for beginners photography

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Depending on your budget, I have seen most of the D90's for sale for less than the D5200. While the D5200's image sensor is better, the D90 can utilize the older AF-D Nikon lenses. The older AF-D lenses will not autofocus with the D5200. So, if you are starting out with photography on a budget, I would suggest the D90.

[@jbphotography5848]

Hey man love your videos! Could you do a review of the Nikon D700 in 2023 would love to see that

[@laurenslinkwolf]

Love my d90! I have bought it 1 year after release, and i still use it to this day! I do however have 1 thing i like to change here with a extra piece of equipment, cable,.... I like how you van view the photos you make on your phone(android) and even directly use it on Lightroom on your android. Is there a way or a tool out there to add this type of functionality to the d90? (Wireless if possible)

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

I haven't looked into it. But a wireless add-on would be wonderful! Thanks for sharing and good to know you still have yours!

[@badger67]

Funnily enough, I gave my wife a D40 with the 18-55 & 55-200 kit lenses. The first thing she said was " Does it do video?" CEX is a second hand electrical entertainment retail franchise here in Europe and I can get a D90 for £95 or a D5000 for £80. What would you recommend?

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

It really depends on what kind of photography you're doing. At least with the D5000, you get the articulating screen and a slightly better video performance. Personally, I would still get the D90 because you can utilize more lenses with it versus the D5000.

[@badger67]

My dad has a d50, 5100, and 200. He wants me to learn the 200 but I don’t know how to adjust the aperture! Usually just hold the exposure button and move the dial but all that does is “+.3”. Please help with this as it should be simple.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

If you're in manual mode, you should be able to adjust the aperture with the front dial. I hope this helps.

If I remember correctly, it was the Canon 50D

[@hadi_177re]

What about night photography ?? Is it good when I want to shoot in the night ?

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

It really depends what lens you're using and how much light you're working with. Depending on your settings, above ISO1000, it does get pretty grainy.

By using the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5. Lens what’s the settings to get best and quality portraits & please share your email Thanks in advance

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Unfortunately, there are not best settings as it really depends on how much light you are working with. Because settings will be different from morning, afternoon and evening. So, there isn't one best setting. If you want good portraits with it, you can use the focal lengths between 85-105 to get okay separation between the subject and background.

[@davemil716]

I have been looking at the Nikon D7100/D7000 bodies. I have the Z30, Z50, Z5... just looking for a Dslr for a bounce around take on the street camera. Any thoughts about these bodies. I saw your video the 7000's which is how I found this video... thanks! Oh, I mainly do people photography... portraits...

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Thanks! I think the D7000 bodies are excellent. Especially if you can find them for a great price. From what I'm seeing, depending on the condition the bodies, I have seen the D7000 bodies go for under $200 and I've seen plenty for under $150 but those are almost immediately sold. So, that's a sign that they're still VERY popular. I still remember the D90 and D7000 era as well. But the D7000 definitely had the better tech. Either way, the great thing about the D7000 is that you can utilize the amazing line of Nikon lenses.

Hello. What would you choose between D90 and D3100?
