The Nikon D90 is the world’s first DSLR camera that shoots High Definition video. Replacing the D80 model, the new 12.3 megapixel Nikon D90 can shoot 1280x720 pixel, 720p video at 24fps with mono-sound for up to 5 minutes. Compared to a camcorder, the larger image sensor on the D90 offers higher image quality, a shallower depth of field and better ISO performance in low-light conditions. The D90 also offers advanced features such as Live View, Scene Recognition, Active D-Lighting, Picture Control and an ISO sensitivity range of 100-6400. There’s also a 3-inch LCD screen with 170˚ viewing angle and 920,000 dots, viewfinder with 96% frame coverage, Live View shooting with new Face Priority mode, and 850 picture battery life. The Nikon D90 will be available in September for £699.99 / €959.00 / $999.95 body only, or £849.99 / €1164.00 / $1,299.95 with the new 18-105mm F/3.5-5.6G ED VR kit lens. Nikon also unveiled the GP-1, a new GPS device that allows you to geo-tag your photos (price and availability to be confirmed). We have exclusive pictures of the D90 in action from yesterday’s UK press launch.
