Any Nikon D90 users out there?

Fellow UHH Hogs - Some of you may know I'm a retired real estate manager currently living amidst the frozen tundra some 45 miles northeast of Green Bay. For much of my life I've had a great affection for photography and cameras. Been trying to maintain that interest for the many benefits of, hopefully, artistic expression. I particularly enjoy recording images of architectural details; land and waterscapes; trees, plants, flowers and people.
I have a chance to acquire a refurbished Nikon DSLR body, 2008 vintage, a D90 in decent condition. I'm wondering what experiences - good, bad or indifferent - any of you may have had with that particular model? I'm thinking of pairing it with: a moderate 18-140mm zoom and a 50mm portrait/macro. Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions you may have would be welcome. Thanks.

The D90 is an excellent camera. I used mine last night at a local football game. Here are a few pictures.....

I have a friend who resides in Louisville,Ky that only uses the D90. Currently he is working on documenting the the progression of the Ohio Bridges Construction Project going on in downtown Louisville. He told me he carries two D90's with different lenses to the site. He doesn't like to change lenses while hanging on a tower. You can check out his work of some of the iron workers here:http://speeddemon2.com/galleries/ironworkers/

I have two D90's. I've had the Nikon 16-85mm VR on one and the Nikon 70-300mm VR on the other. They've been great cameras. 12 megapixels is more then enough. I've gotten a D7000 since I bought the D90's but will definitely keep the D90's.

When I bought mine (new) there were no 3xxx, 5xxx or 7xxx cameras available. It was the best non serious pro camera available at the time.
I still haven't used it to the full, and quite honestly, I really don't feel like I'm about to have a GAS episode.
I look at the prices now, and am please with the value for money I've had out of it. I had a picture shown recently that had a green lamp interfering with the overall grouping. I'm please how it was adjusted for me and I still have no complaints about the image before or after the adjustment

As they say, if it ain't broke......

My D-90 has been to Europe twice. Been dropped twice .Has never needed a repair. Takes great pictures and VIDEOS. Have no plans on getting anything else. Don't miss this chance to get yours.

I have a D90 in my arsenal. At one time, it was my top of the line camera only to be moved down the line twice by upgrades. I have my Sigma 10-20 permanently attached (figuratively speaking) since they are a perfect match.

I have had mine for about 6 years...have taken it around the world. I shoot with an 18-300mm 5.6 Nikon lens and have loved the results. Currently looking for a second body with greater dynamic range and resolution in order to improve on cropping and producing larger prints.

The D90 is a great camera. Shot for about 4 years at Disney with the D90. Will be a great camera, but the D7000 is much better and Disney went from the D90 to the D7100 about a year ago. Much improved images and faster focus.

I've had a subscription to Popular Photography magazine for a long time and have issues that have test reviews of the D90, D7000, and D7100. Autofocus speed at different light levels is one of the things they test. They show that there are just very slight differences in autofocus speed of all three cameras. The D90 and D7000 have the best color accuracy. The D7100 is a little behind those two in color accuracy.

I started with a D70 which I liked. Then I got a used D90 body and will probably never upgrade further. From what I have read the D90 is one of the best (of the older cameras) ever made. In short I am very satisfied with the D90 as it does more than I am capable of using.

My sincere heartfelt thanks to all who responded with a strong outpouring in favor of the d90. Seems as tho it may be one of history's great classic cameras. At this moment I'm leaning toward getting the d90, altho "Flyfishin" makes an excellent point regarding the features of the d5300. This forum proves Every Single Day the positive benefits of a group effort to support photography. Thanks again, my good friends!
