Nikon’s D90, First For DSLR with a Movie Shooting Mode

First and foremost, let’s see what the major improvements and innovations brought by Nikon’s new DSLR are. And we’ll start with the camera’s most important element, the sensor. Nikon decided to drop CCDs for this particular model and went with a newly designed, 12.3 effective megapixel sensor, which enhances the quality of the shots.

Furthermore, the wide sensitivity range, of ISO 200 to 3200, delivers low-noise characteristics throughout, while the sensitivity can be increased to Hi 1 (ISO 6400 equivalent) and decreased to Lo 1 (ISO 100 equivalent) to expand shooting versatility.

And since we’ve reached the issue of versatility, it’s also important to underline yet another major feature of the D90. According to the company, this is the world’s first DSLR equipped with a movie mode, meaning that it’s capable of shooting 320 x 216 pixel, 640 x 424 pixel or HD720p (1,280 x 720 pixels) movies at 24 frames per second in motion JPEG format.

While this particular function might actually improve the sales figures, there are lots of amateur and semi-pro photographers out there who feel that it somewhat “taints” the idea of DSLR, since it’s something usually encountered in the case of compact, point and shoot and bridge digital cameras.
