The quality and benefits of an SLR camera next to benefit more typical of the compact. This is what we found in the Nikon D90, a camera that excites equal to professional users only. Not surprisingly, is the first reflex model that can record video in HD, something that is likely to see soon with other manufacturers.

The Nikon D90 is aimed, above all, no professional photographer but that does not conform with a compact and prefer the versatility of SLR, but who wants to use it in any situation, hence the addition of video recording and a good number of automatic modes, to lend a picture to be just point and shoot.

The sensor of the Nikon D90 is a CMOS APS-C format and offers a resolution of 12.3 megapixels. Accompanying an image processing system EXPEEDTM, offering bright colors and a low level of noise at different ISO, which in this camera range from 200 to 3200, although we can force it to ISO 100 and ISO 6400.

In the sensor also incorporates a cleaning system, which removes dust particles that may have been cast in the internal filter to change lenses.

The response time of the D90 is very low, with a power of 0.15 milliseconds and a shutter response of 65 milliseconds, so we do not lose any picture because of the camera. He is able also to perform up to 4.5 frames per second.

The video is stored in files in AVI format M-JPEG and the camera has an HDMI output with which we can display in televisions and high-resolution monitors.

The display, by the way, has a viewing angle of 170 degrees, so that we can use it and view it in any position.

The battery of the Nikon D90 will not disappoint us, because thanks to a new system that reduces energy consumption, will get up to 850 shots with one load, I imagine that the use LiveView or without the video recording, but it also quite impressive.
