[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]What's better on the D90 than the D3, better than the D700 and better than the D300: [/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]
ADR is on by default. [/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Adds the
AF-A AF mode. [/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Easier Live View mode with
dedicated button! The other cameras use the rotary top switch, which sucks! [/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Makes movies with sound. The D3 at least records sound alone, which the D90 can't. [/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]The
AF Selector Lock is better designed so it won't get knocked by accident. [/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Nikon finally fixed the design flaw where by default the
Modeling Flash fired if you hit the Depth-of-Field preview button. Thank you Nikon! [/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]The dials work during playback by default. In the other cameras, I have to look for a few minutes to find this option hiding in the Custom Settings > Controls > Customize Command Dials option. [/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]By default, the D90 won't shoot without a card. The D3, D300 and D70 default to the very dangerous DEMO setting which lets you happily shoot an entire wedding, look at each shot on the LCD in every display mode and zoom setting, and not realizing until the end of the day that you had no card in the camera![/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Better than the D3 and Better than the D300:[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Can call up the top item in
My Menu with the
FUNC button. This makes the D90 much faster to use, because I now can get into the menus and set everything with just one hand![/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Dedicated rear
INFO button.[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]
ADR modes include AUTO. [/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]The rear LCD Monitor-on times are selectable separately for Playback, Menus, the INFO panel and Image Review. [/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]The D90 has both the
My Menu menu and Recent Items Menus. (D3 and D300 lack the Recent Items menu) [/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Better than the D300[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Far nicer rear multi selector. The D300 has a mushy single piece of crap, while the D3, D700 and D90 have much better two-piece controls with a separate center OK button. [/FONT]
