The D90 also boasts the usual range of photographic bells and whistles, including full picture control,
RAW edit mode (which can post output to JPG images),
Vibration Reduction (VR) via optical lens stabilisation (the good kind, not the flawed software type) and an in-camera retouch menu. But what we didn’t expect was GPS support.
GPS supportYou can now geo-tag your photos in much the same way that some in-car GPS navigation products work. It’s an exciting prospect that will give users the ability to purchase an optional GPS mount (GP1) that will link with Google maps for geo-tagging.
The D90 will also be the first DSLR in the Nikon range to support the new
eye-fi cards, which have been a big hit in Japan (but aren't available in Australia yet).
Energy saving designIt used to be that if you weren’t using AA batteries in your DSLR, you would wind up with serious problems (most in-camera lithium batteries were limited to less than 200 shots).
But now, manufacturers are doing something about the battery issue and the D90 uses energy saving components to ensure you’ll get around 850 shots (with live view turned off) from every charge.
PricesThe D90 body retails for $1549.00 and the dual lens kit for $1899 (18 – 55mm and 55 – 200mm) and available from September.
All in all, it's a great looking camera that will be a tempting purchase for enthusiasts and everyday users alike.
