Yes they are! Grew up with them.

Congrats on the camera. I shoot with a D90 too. The ISO performance isn't the greatest, but everything else is superb. Get the 35mm f1.8- great lens for this camera.

great cam... got one too. Although at times. I notice the darn thing wont shoot! A/F just keeps blinking... and wont do anything. I find it REALLY annoying

It only does that when it cannot focus. Like if your shooting a picture of a blank wall zoomed in.

Pink Taco · 01-12-2010, 07:08 PM

yeah I know... but the weird thing is that... When I turn on the cam it'll do that. even though I try to focus it somewhere where it can usually focus... still wont. It'll do that for a long time. Gets me frustrated.

I have a new D90 and love it. Now I'm in lens aquisition mode.

So what's the issue with its ISO?

Must be noise? It goes to 6400 so not range...

arrutled · 01-18-2010, 01:41 PM

you are correct. Just take two pictures back to back of say 800 and 1600. You will see the increase in noise.

arrutled · 01-18-2010, 01:45 PM

see

rsjean · 01-18-2010, 02:17 PM

Wow.

And I thought I had the mac daddy with a camera that could take me to 6400 if needed. Sounds like marketing specs with no way to really use it. But, all in all, the camera is much better than I am so, for now, its all I need.

anthony @ eas · 01-18-2010, 02:57 PM

^^ Yeah, it's good enough for most stuff. If you really need good low light performance, then the 35mm f1.8 is a life saver for this camera. Sometimes the ISO 1600 and up look OK, but in some situations it looks pretty bad.

Congrats, now learn how to use it!

what? i know this is an old thread, but in this price range, the d90 has good ISO performance up to 1600... i had a d3000 last year, and would never try anything over 800.

i like the camera, but still trying to learn how to use it...

Wow! Major noise at higher ISO or low light is what I wanted to avoid with a D90. Want to shoot more night stuff. Guess I should go D300s??
