Atleast $300 more expensive than competition (e.g. Canon XSi), but with a better kit lens, high density LCD monitor, video, face detection, and live view with autofocus at last. A winning formula - BRAVO, Nokon.

Jimmy, I would say that Nikon's D90 compares best to Canon's 50D as illustrated here: http://a.img-dpreview.com/previews/NikonD90/images/preview/sidebyside1.jpg . It out-classes Canon's 450D (or XSi for some), that one would compare best to Nikon's (imo underwhelming) D60.

Face Detection and movie mode... (sigh!) A sign of things to come...

Don't be so elitist, Spider. Face it, in terms of quality there's little more these cameras can offer so they have to differentiate themselves with other features. I for one certainly welcome the ability to shoot video on an SLR - saves me carrying around two devices - I just wish they'd included stereo audio. Face detection is also quite useful if you just want to grab some quick shots. Versatility it the aim of the game.

I do think spider has a point to an extent, especially on the movie mode. I have a compact camera for snaps and videos. If I take out my SLR it's to use as a camera. I'd much rather every penny of the cost of the camera was spent on ensuring the camera takes the best still photos possible (I guess I'd agree that face detection does that).

Fantastic lens. I've got the old 18-70 which they bundled with the D70s. But with VR as well... sold.

I agree with spider and purephase but if the camera lives up to expectations then when the prices drop a bit, as they surely will,then I,m having one! I,ll down grade my D80 to back up camera.

This series, at it's top end, is aimed at a market sector that wants 'the best' without straying into Pro (bulkier,heavier) territory.

The 3D focus tracking on it's own vindicates an upgrade for many consumers, other atributes can be ignored, if not liked or needed.

It will probably succeed in it's true purpose, to nullify Sony/Canons' growth, , , ,this month.
