Nikon D90

Digital SLR Camera D90 from Nikon. Fusing 12.3-megapixel image quality and an exceptional 24fps D-Movie Mode, the Nikon D90 exceeds the demands of passionate photographers. The first digital SLR camera to incorporate video recording (720p HDTV quality, no less) and HDMI output. Nikon scores high for offering great image quality. A lot of the core photographic spec is the same as or very similar to the D80, though there is a new shutter and an implementation of the 3D tracking AF seen on the D3/D300.
