my thoughts on the D90


So here i am again with the Nikon D90. I like it a lot for its price. Don't get me wrong I would love to have a Canon 5d markii or another Nikon D300 or D700. Something. But money doesn't grow on trees. And I'm sort of short on cash so IDK.
So I'm gonna write this sort of compared to my current SLR the Nikon D50. Durr So here's another picture of the D90 (without the mb-80 grip). So based on Nikon's website and tech specs the D90 has

  • 12.3 megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor(D50 6.1mp)
  • Continuous shooting @ 4.5 fps
  • first DSLR with HD movie mode (24fps w/ sound @720p) enhanced by NIKKOR interchangeable lens
  • Low noise ISO sensitivity fromm 200 to 3200 (compared to my D50 up 1600)
  • 3-inch super density LCD monitor (2" or 2.5" on my D50)
  • Built-in image sensor cleaning (D50 none whatsoever)
  • 11 point AF system
  • One button live view
  • Nikon 3d matrix metering II w/ scene recognition system
  • Comprehensive exposure control
  • D-Lighting(tames high-contrast situations in real time)
  • In-Camera Image editing
  • GPS geo tagging optional
From what I think obviously it beats my 4 year old D50. So for how much it costs i think its pretty much worth its money. I like the fact that there is no auto-focus during movie mode because it allows me to add cinematic shots to whatever im shooting.

So what I would want to get with the D90 would be:
  • BM-10 lcd monitor cover (tired of getting my screen oily and scratched up)
  • Of course another battery
  • MB-80 Multi power battery pack
  • New Flash? Possibly the SB900 but thats probably after the camera and some lens
  • Either: wireless remote or remote cord
  • probably a Sigma 8mm f/3.5 fisheye
  • a good telephoto lens
  • a better tripod
  • and the list goes on...
who cares right..i just keep babling on. If someone else is really reading this, do they happen to know if I could use my current sb800 as the control unit and possibly a sb600 as the slave. I've read it somewhere but totally lost it. I dont want to have to purchase a su-800. Damn I have a lot of money that I need to save....
