The problem is that the D90 and D300 when they came out Nikon change their in camera philosophy . When you take photos with the manufacturers default settings colors , contrast and sharpness will all be low. That's why when you take photos with the Nikon D90 and any other Nikon camera after the D90 and D300 they tend to look rather bland and soft . All you have to do is go to SHOOTING MENU , right click the control and pick the PICTURE CONTROL that you want. I can recommend neutral which is the one I use. Then right click it again and you will find a comprehensive list of settings including sharpening , contrast , brightness , saturation and hue which all can be changed to your hearts content. . The Nikon D90 can be change to look exactly as a D40 , D50 , D60 , D70 , D80...you get the picture . At the Nikon web site they have a list of changes you can set at picture control to get the colors of any of Nikons digital Cameras, past and present. Just go there , look up Nikon D50 and look at the settings you would have to set on your D90 in order to get the same photo quality of a D50 . So you see , there really isn't no excuse for you not to like the d90...All this plus the extra resolution plus the comprehensive user setting makes the D90 a great camera. And at the price you can get it right now it really is a no brainer. Vlad my friend , I”m pretty sure the D90 is a superior medium to capture photos.

Is it realistic to purchase a camera and not test if first? Comparing it with your former camera in all aspects? I doubt the comment. I am surprised with vlad’s comment on the D90.

I have a Nikon D50 and I just bought a Nikon D90 (I was expecting for better pictures with D90). Surprising, bealive me or not - for the same settings - both cameras, the same time and subject , with Nikon D50 I got better pictures (more realistically), the contrast is better, so I'm quite disappointed about D90 and I'm going to sell It . d90 has bigger screen, and lot of settings and better resolution, but with no use for me I don't use 12 megapixel because I don't need 7 Mb pictures - lot of space, so I use Medium Or Large with Normal - pict. quality, so that to get 1.5 - 2 Mb pictures in size not more....

Thanks. Can anyone tell me where I can get more training on the d90 besides the manual and Rockwell? Thanks.

I took some shots today. Plain, old posed shots of kids. I wanted the eyes focused most of all. I think I had the d90 set on the wrong autofocus. The picture was focused overall, but the eyes weren't as much. How do I get the autofocus point in the center, and do I have to recompose and push the AE-L button to do so? This is really a problem, and I refuse to use the point and shoot functions to do shots. Can someone help? OK, simple question. I took some shots today. Plain, old posed shots of kids.

I suspected the lens was faulty....it was. This could be the case with your lens too. Sigma asked me to take two images one with OS switched off , one with OS switched on, it made no difference whether optical stabilisation was on or off, both images were pin sharp in the centre, soft and out of focus towards the edges.

It turned out to be a faulty specimen as other lenses of the same type in the shop were sharp. Maybe yours has a similar problem. It would be hard to give you advice here because the choice of lens depends very much on your own style and preferences. Even stronger: don't accept any lens advice from anyone who doesn't know these things. The best thing to do is visit a photography shop and try a lot of lenses youself.

I've noticed that my lens , Sigma 18-200mm DC OSD is really nice to have around as an all do lens.But its sharpness isn't all that great.Don't get me wrong , I like it as an all around lens.But I'am considering buying another lens and I'am a bit confused at all the options that I have.It doesn't have to be all that inexpensive but at the same time not all that expensive.I know that when you use a zoom lens you gain practicality but lose out on resolution on less you have the money to buy a really good one .What I don't like about the lens is that its consistently soft outside of the center.It's really sharp at the center but everything else isn't .I've tried different f numbers to no avail.I've wonder if it could be the focusing system on the Nikon D90 the culprit giving extreme sharpness only where its focusing ,coming myself from film cameras , this is my first Digital SLR camera and I'am still learning .On film I use to get increible and sharp pictures . Is there a lens you could recommend for the nikon that isn't all that expensive and my give me good all around results?It doesn't have to be a telephoto .Thank you in advance for your response.
