• Finally the D90 is for the photographer that does not want to spend the money for an elite professional camera but still wants the performance.

If you are looking to use it is these situations...

you may want to look at a more advanced camera. For example the D300 or D3

• If you will frequently be using the camera outdoors you should not buy the D90. The D90 does not have rubber sealants to keep the dust and dirt out of the camera. The D300 is much more durable than the D90 because of its Magnesium build. If you need a better built and durable camera the choice is clear... the Nikon D300.
• The D90 also only offers 4.5 frames per second. If you want to shoot sporting events it may be better to have the D300 because of its 6 frames per second continuous shooting or a possible 8 frames per second when it is used with the extra battery pack.
• The D90 can be used if you are a professional photographer but it is generally made for the advanced amateur. Professionals should either buy the Nikon D300 or the Nikon D3 (or D3x).
