I recently swapped my old 20d and some other old equipment I no longer use for a used Nikon D90. Now I used this camera at my last wedding and I have to say the results were fantastic. High iso is streets ahead of my old 20d. When used at 3200 my 20d suffered horrible banding and made this iso completely useless. So 1600 was my maximum I could go to in low light situations.
I was in some serious dark situations on Saturday at the wedding and I had to pump the d90 up to 6400. These images when converted to black and white were superb. I know the Nikon D700 and D3 will be much better but as an upgrade from my 20d the D90 has enabled me to now shoot at iso 6400 without worrying about Banding. There are some white flecks in dark areas that I had to deal with but no more than I had to spot out when I used 35mm film.
The other great thing which you may know I am a fan of in th eos5d mkii is the movie mode. The D90 has a movie mode that is just great. People bang on about how theres this problem or that problem with it, but I have found that with a steady hand, the quality is superb and I can't wait to put it to use in a creative way. If you think that you can get this camera for £500 odd quid new, its an amazing tool to have movie this good as an add on to your slr.
I will post some footage of my footage soon on here. In the mean time take a look at this music video someone created with the D90. I cant wait to get creating some fab movies to go along with my photographs!!!
The big plus with the D90 is the video looks like film, not home vid!!!!
