where there’s smoke there’s forum fire
Hello all,
I am new here. I have been planning to buy D90 for about several months. But some aspects are not suffcient: the body of it is made of plastic, a little bit lower pixels......
So could you please when the replacement of D90 will be release?

Possible release time

The D90 has come down in price on the slightly used market. Check over Craig's list in your area and you will find it from $650 to $1000 (with kit). I own a D90 and love the thing for back-up and everyday use. The D300 (non-S) is around $1000 on the market as well and the sensor and pixels are the same as the D90. If you are newer to the Nikon world the D90 is very nice with the "auto" modes when you want to get the shot now without thinking too much. If they release a new D90 this year I would be surprised considering the D700 is looking for the revamp and maybe another full frame.
My only complaint with my D90 is the white balance is sometimes off, I always shoot RAW anyway so that is easily fixed post with a click. The kit lens 18-105mm sometimes loses connection with the camera causing it to Err-- and you will have to re-seat it. I have never had any problems with other lenses.
I just don't see Nikon increasing the mega-pixel count anytime soon for one reason there is no point to increase it. Better ISO noise reduction is where they have been heading with all the cameras. Full frame will still be in the $2K range from the next few years maybe even longer.
The D90 all in all is a awesome purchase regardless. It will last for years and you can always use it as a great back-up as time passes.

Yes, I have already read these ...... I am waiting some further information if any. Thank a lot.
sky - sorry to say that, but if You still don't have a camera after so many months, and d90 is not enough for You, please consider gardening, as IMHO photography is not for You. There's not to many commercial applications where You need more than 12Mpx - for amateur... You most likely don't have lenses that will deliver good enough quality to see a difference , as for plastic body... well don't like it get d300 - simple.
The D90 replacement will probably have higher MP but the plastic body will probably still be plastic. and 12 MP is more than sufficient for most uses. what are you shooting that needs more MP?
If you really do need more MP now one option is to use specialized software like "Genuine Fractal" or "Blow Up 2"
