Great metering, flash and AF accuracy.

Noisy.
Vibration at slow speeds/long lenses.

Been using the N90s since it was introduced. Upgraded an N90 to get faster AF, motor
and 1/3 stop shutter speeds. Works well in an Ikelite housing for underwater use. About the only camera I would consider replacing it with would be an F5. Get the MF-26 and MB-10 and it will equal or exceed the F100 in almost every respect, except for ruggedness.

An excellent camera! I have been very happy with it. The N90 and the SB-28 have given me some amazing pics in eaven the most difficult lighting situations. It is heavy and expensive, which make me hesitant to carry it a lot, resulting in some missed opportunities, but o/w outstanding. I would definitely buy another except that I think that I want to buy a lesser camera like the N60 or the N80 for a back up. If you get this camera, you won't be dissappointed and you'll take great pictures.

Kick ass

Needs a back for Multiple Exposures.

Non-standard cable release is very expensive.

This camera kicks ass. Top FPS is way fast enough for me. Focusing works really well and plenty fast. It does things for me, but if I don't want it too, I don't have to let it (unlike Microsoft Products). I've done almost nothing but fine art photography up until this point. Suddenly I'm having a blast photographing action and sports. Good camera for Everything. It doesn't have mirror lockup, but I have an F3 that does, so I just use that if I ever need it (which I haven't since I got the N90s), since you don't really need AF with mirror lockup :) Metering options are really nice, and matrix metering hasn't let me down (but I avoid using it when I think it might, so I haven't given it a chance to prove me wrong).

I love this camera

State of the art metering,superb build,faster auto-focus.Most brilliant performer in N series & F series

NONE

This is all timing great Nikon. This camera has most sophisticated matrix metering. Build quality is also very impressive. N90S is very rugged for rough handling or for use any climate.
I own F-5, F-100, F4S, N90S &F3HP.
In all these cameras N90S is most brilliant performer.
I used N90S & F-5 many times for same lighting situations N90S gave me more correct exposures. Auto focus is also very fast & very accurate. Focus tracking is also faster.
NEGATIVE POINTS-Frame advance is 4.3fps.
You must want to purchase multi control back for full use of this camera.
No VR function compatibility.

Still fast autofocus and compatible with AF-S lenses. It incorporates simply any feature you will ever nees- sometimes you'll have to buy the MF26 though!!

the bodyshell made of polyc. I don't like it and I think that Nikon could have used magnesium?!

If you can't afford the F% and F100 this is the modern semipro nikon to go for. don't think of buying the f80- it's not ass good and 'hearhear' the AF is slower on that anyway!!!
AH- and buy the MB10 it's vital!!!

The best camera I have ever used. After many years publishing Bating Racing events newsletters...with my manual focus cameras this is a dream come true. It is fast and very handy to use..anyone can learn to go from a manual camera to this dream machine in a matter of minutes.

You will need an mb-10 grip to give yourself a proper platform to work from...

This camera is built to fit almost any need. However you will need the Mf-26 back and Mb-10 grip to pull the whole unit together..But it is still a great camera for the money.

dependable,basic, affordable, semi pro camera.

Plastic feel, poor ergonomic design(the shutter speed knob is too small, more difficult use of manual f-stop adjustment.The MB10 is a needed improvement for the cameras "hand-holdibility".

A dependable, basic autofocus 35mm.However if given the option of the N90s or a F100- it's the F100.The N90s ergonomics are awkward- the shutter speed knob is too small. Although a dependable performer, it does not have "that feel" that the F100, F5 and other cameras posess. It is a generic feeling instrument. If your budget allows, go a step up to the F100 or F5.

Balanced fill-flash using 3D matrix metering with Nikon speedlights

*heavy
*slow autofocus
*center-point autofocusing only
*poorly designed control buttons that make for slow operation
*manual adjustment of f-stop ring on lens
*doesn't load film immediately after closing film back

Hailed by Nikon as one of the greatest autofocus 35mm cameras of all time, the N90S truly ought to be phased out immediately. The poorly-designed construction has the user looking up frequently to search for controls and using two hands unnecessarily, slowing down operation significantly. Further, in a time when Canon offers 45-point autofocus, this slow, single-point, center-oriented autofocus camera feels like a serious dinosaur. After using this camera for two years and then switching to an F100, I would never, ever, ever recommend that anyone buy the N90S, despite the price difference. As a photojournalist shooting portraits, sports, the outdoors and news events, I found the N90S seriously inhibited my ability to consistently produce the images I envisioned. The F100's thoughtful design, accelerated autofocus and frame speed, custom functions and easy-to-use five-point autofocus make the N90S a candidate for an unceremonious hurl into a bath of primordial ooze. If that language isn't strong enough, I'll make it as clear as possible: don't buy this camera.

A excellent camera if you get it second hand and a great camera overall.It is well built and the meter seems to be faultless.Buy it if you dont care about ultra fast AF.
