Discount Nikon D90 12.3 Megapixel
This proud member of the Nikon family was introduced as a solution for those who were searching for a digicam that could offer high-resolution videos and top-notch optics but within a limited budget. Many people might not know this, but the NikonD90 was the first among the DSLRs that combined video capturing with a very capable High Definition (HD) movie camera. What has really upheld its reputation in the market is the ability to shoot movies at a rate of 24 frames per second and its brilliant optical image stabilisation. However, its movie-recording abilities aren’t its only claim-to-fame. The D90 is a major advancement over its predecessors and offers some amazing features.
It has a 12.3 Megapixel resolution that helps in executing sharper images with enhanced details. Further, it has the CMOS technology rather than Nikon’s traditional CCD. This means a huge reduction in noise levels of the shutter and it gives the camera an increased ability to recognise colours. For its size, the D90 does weigh more than expected but the body has been compacted very well and feels more substantial and sturdier than most models in this price range. Nikon has worked religiously towards improving the durability of the shutter and has added a feature — Dust Prevention System, which is usually found among its much pricier models. The 3-inch LCD quality is recommendable and it is now enclosed by a polymer instead of glass that is used in most of D90’s contemporaries. The body is very easy to grip and the navigation is convenient, courtesy of the new control layout. The buttons have been smartly positioned along a two-toned dial interface. In Live View mode, the 12.3 Megapixel NikonD90 has two grids with different information displays, making it easier to switch between applications.
The Auto Focus is very perceptive and has three modes to it — single-point, auto and dynamic. It uses a combination of 11 focal points and moving objects can be shot with ease, using the dynamic AF mode. The razor-sharp images are a result of using the newly launched EXPEED processing. It can capture more than 4.5 images per second without compromising on picture quality. Images can be edited within the camera itself with tools such as the Fisheye and red-eye reduction. My verdict – Nikon’s D90 perfects blending the 12.3 Megapixel-boosted image quality with the cinematic Movie mode to deliver a true ‘one-of-its-kind’ digital camera at an affordable price.
