Nikon D90 Review

Mark Goldstein | Digital SLR Cameras | September 19, 2008 | 3 Comments |

PhotoReview have reviewed the Nikon D90, the world’s first DSLR camera that shoots High Definition video.

“However, the D90’s video system is not perfect. Since video can only be recorded in Live View mode, you’re stuck with the restrictions that implies (see below). The sound is recorded monaurally and the video format is AVI which, although it’s compatible with most editing applications, consumes a huge amount of memory (roughly 400MB per minute). In our tests, a 24-second clip recorded in 1280 x 720 HD mode at 176 kbps was 42.7MB in size.”

The new NikonD90 sounds pretty nice. What do you think the best DSLR camera is? This site http://www.dslrcamerareviews.com/html/reviews_of_best_dslr_cameras_.html lists some, but looking for other opinions. Thoughts? Thanks

so i was thinking about buyinhg this camera because my fuji s2pro is on the fritz and i'm going to egypt next month. however i'm concerned that this camera may not be able to hold up in extreme weather conditions e.g. heat, dust, etc. what is your advice?

I'd generally say don't worry about getting dust in your lens, but very sandy/dusty conditions might be something to worry about.

I agree with John, though. A standard digital camera will never hold up to a DSLR. If you need some more information, check out:
