Ordered my Nikon D90 in December 2009 and got it in a little over a week. Received it with no problems. I have shot maybe a little more than a thousand photos with it and it is sweet. I have 2 Nikon 35mm slrs and used them for many, many years. I bought many optics for them as well as many accessories (ext tubes etc.). I wanted a dslr that I could use many, if not all, of the accessories I already had. The D90 fills the bill. The camera came with the 18-105 lens. All my photos are sharp and clear. If any are blurry it’s my fault not the camera’s or the lens fault. I ordered a 8 gig transcend sd card with the camera and have not had any issues with it. Later I saw a Lexar 4 gig sd card on sale and it has worked well also. I haven’t tried the high speed sd cards yet. Maybe later. These work and work well so why spend more money?
After reading many of the reviews, I must admit, I was a little fearful that I would have problems. So far nothing. No error messages, no nothing. It works and keeps on working. In cold weather and not so cold ( I live in so cal and have shot in the snow in the mountains and in the 80’s in my back yard, yes and it’s not summer yet). The camera has a learning curve. It has many options and it takes a while to learn how to use them. It can be used as a point and shot camera but only if you set it up that way. Learn to use it and use it correctly and it can be a valuable tool. I’m still learning. As far as the lens goes I have no complaints. It’s sharp (for my purposes)and as far as the plastic lens mount is concerned, no worries. I’m not a pro. I use my camera maybe 5 or 6 times a week. 95% of the time I leave the lens on. The range of the lens is the one used for most of my pictures (family, vacation etc). I have a 600mm mirror, a 105mm nikor that I use sometimes. These lenses are the ones for my 35mm Nikons. They work on the D90 in manual mode. So I’m not changing the lens every 5 minutes. I don’t think the plastic lens mount will be a factor.
This camera isn’t cheap. I works well and I’m happy with it. If you have some Nikon equip in 35mm and don’t want to spend more, this is the camera for you. If you want a good prosumer camera this could be the camera for you. Check out the Canons and the others and if possible hold them and use them. See how they feel in your hands and look through the view finder. They’re all good. Buy the one fits you.
