Re: Re: abount nikon slr D90 by Hamlet ThePrinceOfDenmark on May 02, 2012 11:03 PM D90 is specifically for the pro who are into indoor and modelling photography. So even if you are serious photographer but work outdoor mostly, don't go for it.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: abount nikon slr D90 by S M on May 03, 2012 12:41 AM If you are just graduating from a point and shoot then dont go for D90, buy one of the mirorless cameras, eg micro four thirds,Sony Nex or the samsung NX series, they are smaller and easy to use. If you are serious about photography, and dont plan to use the camera in auto mode then buy a DSLR which are significantly larger    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: abount nikon slr D90 by Julius Augustine on May 04, 2012 02:54 PM If you buy a DSLR, then also be prepared to learn photography - Even basics of photography will help you take great pictures. If not don't take a DSLR. No point in putting it in 'Auto' mode and shooting. Better take a normal point and shoot or a bridge camera    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Re: abount nikon slr D90 by Julius Augustine on May 04, 2012 02:57 PM BTW, the D90 is great camera to begin in the DSLR arena. Don't buy D5100, D3100 etc. Start with a D90 body, do not buy the kit lens. Go for a 18-200 mm Tamron lens and you have a great camera at an affordable price.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: abount nikon slr D90 by Ajit Birdi on May 06, 2012 05:49 PM As Julius Augustine has said try to go for a better lens Tamron and Sigma are both good lenses, Nikon Non kit are ace, Buy with a smallest aperture number you can afford, such as 2.8 if possible.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: abount nikon slr D90 by Ajit Birdi on May 06, 2012 05:46 PM Check the Nikon 1 V1 full review here, after buying one be ready to spend some more, this camera does not support direct flash connections to start with. As for D90, as the others have said needs to learn it, it is a semi professional camera,that is if you are a dedicated photographer who wishes to develop his/her passion yes then go for D90,If you are a point and shoot just want to capture a moment in time then D90 is not for you. It is complicated camera for point and shoot people. cameralabsDOTcom/reviews/Nikon_1_V1/    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Too lenghty by M Kumar on May 03, 2012 03:16 AM If you don't even have the time to go through the slides, then definitely don't buy it. Just use the cam that is there in your cellphone. If you buy an SLR camera or even a mirrorless camera, it takes a lot of time to learn how to use it well.    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Overpriced by Raja GV on May 02, 2012 04:36 PM the sensor size is too small. this might be fast camera. But too too small sensor size.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Overpriced by S M on May 02, 2012 05:46 PM Yeah Nex has APS-C size sensors which are way larger (larger sensor=better pics) than Nikon J1/V1 sensors. If you want a fast autofocus camera then Nikon othewise Sony Nex. Sony Nex Lenses are larger than Nikon since bigger sensor=larger lens. So if you want a small fast camera then buy nikon otherwise Sony Nex    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Overpriced by Hagemaru on May 02, 2012 11:09 PM Sony is the first brand to ignore when it comes to SLR.    Forward   |   Report abuse
