Detailed Nikon D90 specs

More updates coming soon.

Nikon D90 specs:

12.3-megapixel CMOS sensor: This Nikon D90 camera body
features a DX-format CMOS image sensor that provides the highest level
of performance. Its integrated A/D converter enables selection between
12-bit and 14-bit conversions. The sensor design supports the broad
light sensitivity range of ISO 200 to ISO 3200, and features refined
high-ISO noise reduction.

3.0″ LCD monitor: A high-resolution, super-density,
920,000-dot LCD monitor makes critical image review possible. This
monitor also allows ultra-wide, 170-degree viewing in all directions.

Live view: You’ll also have a live preview of your subject, giving you point-and-shoot feel with the quality of a DSLR.

11-area AF: The sensor module offers an 11-area AF that
ensures consistently fast and precise focus lock under varying shooting
conditions. The wide area AF system gives greater compositional freedom
when shooting sports and action.

4.5fps continuous shooting: Capture fast action and fleeting expressions. The D90 can shoot up to 4.5 frames per second.

Scene Recognition System: This system recognizes subject and
scene conditions prior to capturing the shot. Enjoy improved subject
tracking and subject identification for rapid and accurate focus area
selection. Highlight analysis optimizes auto exposure by providing more
accurate control. Light source inference studies both subject and
pattern to achieve optimal white balance.

HD movie mode: Capture your surroundings in cinematic quality. The D90 features the D-Movie mode, which shoots HD movie with sound at 24fps.

D-Lighting enhancement: This technology compensates for
underexposed images or insufficient flash by automatically adding light
and detail to selected shots where needed, without affecting properly
exposed areas.

In-camera editing menu: The in-camera editing features
include Nikon D-lighting (that adds light and detail to selected shots
only where needed), red-eye correction, image trimming, image overlay,
monochrome black and white, sepia and cyanotype along with skylight,
warm tone and custom color filter effects.

Lens included: You’ll be ready to go in no time with the included 5.8x AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens.

Nikon 300mm F/4 price increase

We got multiple emails on this topic – thank you all!
Why did Ritz camera increase the price of the 300 mm f/4 ED-IF Auto Focus Silent Wave Nikkor Lens to $1,595.00 USD? Amazon’s price is $1,579.00 USD (original list price I believe was $1,299.00 USD).
The price is suppose to go down when a new model is announced, correct? We do not have any information on this lens being updated, but this is an interesting development.
In B&H and Adorama the lens is back ordered/out of stock.
More lenses rumors/speculations can be found here.

Nikon D80 – Gone Baby Gone! (updated)


Update: Nikon’s own D80 mini site is also dead – go to this link and click on the Nikon D80 banner. Gone!
Nikon D80 is no longer listed on the Nikon-Europe (UK) site (still listed on the SA site – second image):
Last change to get this good camera on a decent price:
Nikon D40x is also gone, but this is old news.
I am expecting more leaks to start coming in tomorrow from the different Nikon sites around the world.
Stay tuned.
