Nikon D90 (AF-S 18-105 mm VR Kit Lens) Digital SLR Camera

Nikon D90 is a great prosumer DSLR in this price range. As someone else pointed out - anything lower than a D90 is not worth being called a DSLR.nnCustomizability: You can shoot in multiple resolutions, multiple sizes and in JPEG/NEF formats. It has the standard nikon variety of white balances and picture tones, but setting anything is extremely simple once you get a hold of your camera. nnErgonomics: It fits your hand nicely, unlike the D5100 and D3100. Really rock solid, and you immediately get the feel that you're ready for the shoot. The two dials (one for aperture and another for shutter) is much MUCH better than having just one dial as D5100, or any Canon in this range.nnLow light performance: Pretty decent. I usually go up to ISO 1600 when I'm in low light, and the pics that come out are usually good enough, with very less graininess. nnBattery: Extremely reliable and long lasting. Doesn't take a long time to recharge, and takes about 1000 shots (if you don't use flash). nnAutofocus: YES! Which is another big differentiator in the low end cameras like D5100 and D90. The camera itself has an autofocus motor, and it's compatible with all lenses. On a D90. you don't need to buy expensive lenses with AF motor, just because your camera body sucks.nnIncluded Software: Horrible :) Just use Adobe lightroom or Aperture, and you'll be good.nnIncluded Kit lens: 18-105 is a very versatile lens and extremely reliable too. It covers most of the range that you're likely to encounter. Also, the autofocus on this is very silent.nnVideo: Pretty basic. No autofocus makes it useless for me, really. Even the most basic camcorder is better than a D90 when it comes to video.nnOverall - 4/5, mostly because of useless video functionality and due to the fact that D7000 tops D90 in all departments.

Nikon D90 a great camera, with all the features that needed for excellent photography.nIf we can understand the manual and try all the modes... you become an expert of photography...nreal good camera...nI'd say this is the best when compared with D5100 and D7000 with in the budget
