Nikon D90 Digital SLR Camera Body - Refurbished by Nikon U.S.A.

2018-10-11T20:00:00

In the current Silicon Age, much what we do with photography ends up viewed on hardly any more than the resolution of a cell phone. Aware of these limits I am more often than not reaching out for my D90 over my 24MP D5200, simply put functionality wins the day and down scaling the D90 is sharper than I need in any case. What I really need is more 100% good shots than 80%, which is something I associate with the 5XXX range have owned two of them. Is there something in that because no reservations about the sensor in the 5200. So what if the whites are 98% as good, the edges never look flat or dull, photos come to life and I get to use all my old primes from film days too. The body I purchased 2nd hand for a fraction of the cost of any D7XXX a mare $126 its previous life was a hard one, so I replaced a few rubbery parts and put it to hard work. Everything in this model is well balanced and really just works well all the time, I think that at the time Nikon could ill afford mistakes and a lot more hard work and research where today they changing models as fast as the next cell phone comes out. I admit that while low light is not the best, it’s not bad at all, the colour of D52xx is better, but I can fix that too. I take flowers, and do my son’s cricket shots grinding the shutter away all in anticipation of the final shot. I have owned D40x, D5000,D5200 Canon G1x ; G5; G15 S100 and in my mind this is still the best for a reliable shot first time round. I have often wondered if the 7XXX is really that much better, but here is no back focus, front focus sorry fine tuning horsing around crying. Not to many millions of focus points just where I need them in the middle. My next camera it’s D500, after someone has beaten it to death, I say “Stay away from a clean 2nd camera it’s faulty!”

Se vai começar na fotografia, comece por aqui. Não vai se arrepender. A Nikon acertou nessa câmera para iniciantes.

I purchased the D90 new, likely around 2008, and have nothing but excellent success with it. In recent times I discovered that its design does not allow shooting video with an SDXC card, that it can shoot still, but for video, I must keep it to SDHC. Fine, as I carry sufficient cards, and shoot away. I've never taken the ISO to its extreme limits, so cannot speak of noise level compared to newer models. The high speed continuous frame mode has been fast enough to shoot the many auto races I attend. A little cleaning of battery contacts with a quality de-oxidant cleaner/conditioner seems to solve the rare connectivity issues I've seen, but all in all a great camera for my needs. In the event I ever upgrade to a newer model, the D90 will always have a place as an alternate body.

I have had in my power the D90 since 2010, to have been a loyal and loyal partner, of course that over time the auto focus has been wearing away and to shoot high Iso there is a lot of noise but in light conditions suitable for portraits and Landscapes one brings out the best of the camera, as well as resistant because I fell a few times with my lenses of 18-105mm and 55-200 which the latter I have used for portraits. In short I give 5 stars to this companion that I will not forget

Though it was passed down to my family about 7 years (during which time we have used it a lot) this camera has performed remarkably

The first DSLR I've had the chance to fully use was a D90 handed down in the family. Despite more than five years passing since its release, the D90 remains a fantastic starting point for beginners. The D90 possesses an ample amount of quality that still holds up a decent amount in comparison to newer cameras. It may not necessarily compare to newer cameras in terms of capabilities, but it remains a stalwart companion in my book that did its job well. I intend to move on to my next DSLR within the next week for something with a bit more quality. I still have to say, though, that I will only have fond memories of this one.

My first DSLR camera, and nothing short of amazing. This camera takes great pictures and more than enough bells and whistle to grow into.

My daily camera went down Nikon d80, I needed a replacement camera while I upgrade to the NIkon d610. D90 came to the rescue. Awesome little camera!

HAVE OWNED MY D90 FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS AND ENJOYED IT FROM DAY ONE. WAS NEW TO DIGITAL PHOTO BUT FOUND IT QUITE EASY TO LEARN ABOUT THE DIFFERENT FEATURES AND HOW TO USE THEM.

I too had problem with err messages, but for me the problem was the lens and not the camera. It is a very good entry level camera for new hobbyists.

Having had my previous Nikon D90 stolen, I simply wanted that same body back. I had been offered the D3100, D5300, 7100 and so on, but I wanted that 90 back. Finding a refurbished one at Adorama was a real bonus for me. When I received, it on time, as was promised, it was in mint condition. I had it out of the box, clicked the lenses on one by one and was out shooting within the hour. As always, both the D90 and Adorama lived up to my expectations. In my opinion, both are top of the range for what I want, what I need, what I like. I understand that Nikon have obviously progressed with DSLR's over the last years, but the D90 is to me, such a superb, solid workhorse that I did not want to take another body. This time I'll get all my gear insured!! Thank you Nikon and Adorama

I love this camera, and have shot with it for years now. It's the first digital I've worked with that took shops that rival my beloved F100. I've had great success selling my shots even at poster size (18"x30") and the color and detail is fantastic. Battery life is good, the combination of pre-programmed and manual settings allow for a great degree of precision, and it's done right by me.

The camera itself is good and when it works, it performs very well in both automatic and manual modes. I got amazing shots with a little menu fiddling. So why am I so disapointed. I migrated from Canon to Nikon because someone had told me that Nikon were the most reliable. When we invest in many lens, flash and otehr SLR add ons, it is a commitment. My in-camera flash broke and needed fixing after a month. I had to wait three month for it to get repaired instead of getting a new one. When I did get it back, I started getting the freeze bug everyone is complaining about. Reading everybody's comments, I do not want to try their help desk (tryied everything and I'm still getting freezes) I know if I send it to Nikon, they will keep it forever, charge me some major $$ and return my camera without fixing it. My only question to Nikon, do tehy expect to make long term profits by selling cheap products to their customer and treating them like dirt afterward? My question to the rest of you. What is wrong with us that makes us believe a Sony, pentax or Olympus cannot do better. My only regreat is getting rid of all my great lens.

I purchased my first Nikon D90 about 2 months ago and sense that time I have taken thousands of pictures.The extreme quality of the pictures plus the outstanding color of same led me to buy another Nikon D90.Also the ability to crop and adjust color and lighting in camera is a huge plus..I never even need the computer and my results are unbelievable.Buy one and I guarantee you will love it.

WORKS GREAT. IT TAKES VERY GOOD PICTURES AND HAS MORE FEATURES THAN MY D40. THE ABILITY TO CENTER ON A PART OF IMAGE TO CHECK FOCUS IS A GOOD FEATURE TO HAVE.

This is the camera that brought me into photography, ever since i fell in love with photography... And of course this camera! However as I get better, there are many frustrated moments with this camera, such as slow focusing, and high noise at high ISO. It's frustrating but I won't blame the camera, 'cause it's technology is kind of old. I guess it's because I got better, and I need to upgrade to a new one. I believe this camera is a perfect one to start with for entry level, specially if you know you'll get really serious into it.

I owned my D90 for 3 years, but recently sold it. The camera was GREAT for awhile. I loved pretty much everything about it and planned to keep it forever. I've taken shots for family gatherings, photo runs in the city, outdoor hikes, travels to foreign countries to include island resorts and mountain backpacking excursions. The only problem that I had was with the dreaded F-- error. This error occurred even before I ever took the camera on my outdoor adventures. I tried cleaning the lens contacts and even used different types of lenses...no fix. The error only occurred a handful of times, but it was enough to where I missed key shots. I know there are D90's out there without this issue and I would love to pick up a used one, but I just can't be sure that the camera isn't affected by this issue.

I love this camera. I upgraded to this after learning DSLR mistakes with the D40. It's was a breakthrough in the DSLR world being the first to have HD video. I understand that some may find it outdated, but the reality is that nobody would ever guess you were shooting with an older body. Just put a good piece of glass on the end and start shooting. I've taken this camera literally across the world and in different environments. It may not be weather sealed, but it still works like a champ for me. Here are some of the pictures that I've taken with this wonderful camera. Enjoy.

I chose the D90 over other Nikon bodies because of the versatility that I found with the camera. I appreciate having the LCD on the top of the body as I use this almost exclusively rather than the digital readings on the rear LCD. The camera feels solid and hasn't let me down yet. Autofocus is quick and sharp with any lens I use.

I use this second camera when i'am doing wild life pictures,it comes in handy if something pop's up while the other camera is being used.

Je suis une fan de Nikon, appareil facile à utiliser, donne d'excellent résultat, photos remarquables, appareil très résistant. Après 2 ans d'utilisation, j'ai plus de 4000 photos de prise et je rachèterai un Nikon sans hésitation.

It locks up and has since brand new. I was told the SD card was the wrong one, even though I bought it with the camera at a big camera store in Seattle, Wash. So I bought another one still the same results. Nikon help told me to try another card and emailed me the same list that I had in the manual. Again the same blinking err in the view finder. I get that error and then the err and the card error. Tried all the resets, re-formatting the cards. If I take it out of Automatic and put it on the sports setting it seems to work for awhile the the same blinking err error. As this has been an ongoing issue since day one and now out of warranty so it's my dime now. Don't BUY

I own this camera since August 2010 and i have only taken 28000 pictures but i must say it performs excellent ! I am an amateur photographer and this was my first DSLR after Konika Dimage Z4, I've learnt everything I know on this camera and never had any sort of problem with it and hopefully I won't have any for further couple of years ! It's a great camera and I think it is amazing how it has "survived" since D7000 came on the market ! You've done it well, Nikon ! Good job ! (Y)
