Nikon D90 Preview

I recently read the Nikon D90 preview (read the full preview) and wanted to share some of the buzz about it.  Based on everything I’ve read, it’s going to revolutionize the Nikon product line.

1. Universal Vibration Reduction (uVR): Providing a 10 stop advantage over non-uVR equiped dSLR cameras, uVR works with all lenses attached to the Nikon D90. “… This means a person using a 500mm lens, who would normally have to shoot at 1/500th of a second, can shoot at 2 seconds when uVR is enabled. …”
2. Even better in-camera editing: “…Nikon decided to include a full working version of Photoshop CS3 in the D90…”
3. More songs than ever: “…The new D90 does away with built-in songs, and includes a fully-fledged iPod…” “…But just before you rush out an get yourself an MB-D90b, you might want to consider the MB-D90c. This version of the grip includes a sub-woofer (fully compatible with the D90′s Dolby surround). That’s right, the optional MB-D90c allows you to play music with unprecedented levels of fidelity for a consumer-level DSLR…”

4. No more shutter delays: “While the D80 was pretty responsive, your reactions aren’t. By the time you’ve realized you should have pressed the shutter, the moment is lost forever…” Now thanks to new shutter technology, “…for the first time in the history of photography, the shutter delay is actually measured in negative time. Now that’s progress.”

5. New Built-in artistic-effect modes

6. Universal Memory card compatability

7. Wireless remote that works from anywhere

And lastly, to avoid the stocking and shipping delays, the Nikon D90 is already on sale!
