So how do things add up? Is the Nikon D better than the Nikon D90 or vice versa? A synthesis of the relative strong points of each of the models is listed below.
If the number of relative strengths bullet points above is taken as a guide, the D is the clear winner of the match-up 14 : 2 points. However, the pertinence of the various camera strengths will differ across photographers, so that you might want to weigh individual camera traits according to their importance for your own imaging needs before making a camera decision.
A professional sports photographer will view the differences between cameras in a way that diverges from the perspective of a street photog, and a person interested in family portraits has distinct needs from a landscape shooter. Hence, the decision which camera is best and worth buying is often a very personal one. How about other alternatives? Do the specifications of the Nikon D and the Nikon D90 place the cameras among the top in their class?
In any case, while the specs-based evaluation of cameras can be instructive in revealing their potential as photographic tools, it says little about, for example, the shooting experience and imaging performance of the D and the D90 in practical situations. At times, user reviews, such as those published at amazon , address these issues in a useful manner, but such feedback is on many occasions incomplete, inconsistent, and unreliable. This is why hands-on reviews by experts are important.
As can be seen, the professional reviewers agree in many cases on the quality of different cameras, but sometimes their assessments diverge, reinforcing the earlier point that a camera decision is often a very personal choice. The review scores listed above should be treated with care , though. The ratings are only valid when referring to cameras in the same category and of the same age. Thus, a score needs to be put into the context of the launch date and the launch price of the camera, and comparing ratings of very distinct cameras or ones that are far apart in terms of their release date have little meaning.
It should also be noted that some of the review sites have over time altered the way they render their verdicts. Did this review help to inform your camera decision process?

There is also a set of direct links to comparison reviews that other users of the CAM-parator app explored.

D 14 : 02 D X Thanks for your vote! You rated this page 4 out of 5. Any additional comment or suggestion for improvement would be welcome. Your feedback optional. My advice is go for the D The D also has better low light shooting quality and more video capabilities than the D Treat yourself to new technology.
Thank you for your advice. Thing is some people skin fair or fairly black. I thought white balance is main thing for correct skin color.
I think your opinion i must think about correct exposure not white balance. Again thank you very much. Exposure controls proper brightness of the image, while White Balance controls the overall hue and color of the image. Hope that helps. Thank you for your quickly reply. This is my second camera D My 1st one is D You have more experience about photography.
Thank you. So you just peeled the spec sheet off and did you use the cameras? Huge this and that real world stuff convinces more. Nice review… been reading all of what you wrote here and it seems very informative for me being a beginner in this world of photography… my first Dslr is a D90 and so far im very happy with its performance…I shoot mostly portraits. Now, Im planning to upgrade … im having trouble what model to upgrade to… judging from your write ups here the D is the model to buy but im leaning towards the Ds do you think this is wise?
Raymond, thanks for the comment. Two years on from the D and the decision seems even harder to make. In theory, Nikon should have been replacing the D now with perhaps a D — but no, we get the full-frame D instead at more than twice the price. Technology comes out as soon as the engineers put information up on the drawing board, every camera produced so far has a basic set of rules that applies to that camera.
Each new camera is a continuation of the last one produced, so every two years Nikon puts out a new camera but that does not mean that we have to jump up and buy one. I am still using the old Nikon D from 6. I have same question in my mind as deepu, and your guide make me clear where should I start my investment vs leaning photography. Please advice D90 with Nikon 35mm dx lens is good choice? Please advice. Please log in again.

Then I got a D and the heavens opened and the colors and detail shone through. So I got a D and I love what comes out of that camera. Not worth the upgrade yet until unless its a frame IMO. Decisions, decisions.

For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in.
An optical viewfinder or OVF allows the photographer to compose a shot while seeing exactly what the lens will capture. OVFs have no time lag and require no power - as opposed to electronic viewfinders, which can drain battery life. OVFs are also better in low light situations.
With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect. We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products. A hot shoe can be used to attach an external flash, as well as light meters, viewfinders, rangefinders and other attachments.
A higher screen resolution provides a sharper image, making it easier to review your photos. A system camera has many interchangeable components such as lenses, flashes, and other accessories. System cameras offer greater flexibility than compact cameras. You can operate the device easily, by pressing the screen with your fingers. Optics 1. The larger the sensor the more light the sensor captures yielding in better image quality.
The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image. With a higher light sensitivity ISO level , the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
Fast continuous shooting is useful for catching action shots. With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it.
