When is nikon replacing d90

That particular lens also suffers from distortion and chromatic aberration purple fringing. Regarding mirrorless cameras, someone mentioned the new Nikon mirrorless cameras.

Be aware they are full frame and your is designed for a camera with a smaller APS-C sensor and will not work. If you are interested in looking into mirrorless, you could consider the Fuji X-E3.

It's a great little camera! It offers different film simulation settings which look great. It also has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. When I travel, I can take a photo and in less than a few minutes, I can share it on social media. Like other mirrorless cameras, it has an electronic viewfinder EVF which helps you see better how the final image will look. The Fuji is very intuitive and you should have no problem adapting. BTW, I was a full time professional for nearly 25 years back in the film days and have taught photography at local universities in their continuing education department off and on for over 30 years.

I also have a degree in photography. IMO the D is hands down the best choice to replace the D There are lots of online comparison tools, like this one , with the details. Also IMO the D with the mm lens ought to be fine for vacation travel photos.

Unless your main goal is photographing birds in flight or stalking wildlife in the great outdoors, mm on a current-technology APS-C sensor like the D's, should give you plenty of telephoto reach. Neither the D nor D is a featherweight compact travel camera, especially with a good walk-around telephoto lens like the But if you're fine with traveling with that gear, then that's what you need.

There are more lightweight compact cameras you could take on your travels. He has a useful discussion of camera sensor sizes , and keeps an updated page where he reviews the best travel cameras. I own a bunch of nice camera gear - bodies and interchangeable lenses - which is now all Sony mirrorless I came over from the Nikon world and it was all about smaller size. However, I don't lug all that stuff along on foreign vacations, and I'm currently trying out a not inexpensive fancy all-in-one Sony camera with a 1" sensor and superzoom lens which may become my go-to travel camera.

My best advice is to become very familiar with your new camera whether it's a DSLR replacement or a small lightweight camera for travel , before your big trip. I should have known better, but I made that mistake last year with a camera I took to London. It was an ideal travel camera, but I hadn't used it enough to become familiar with its setup, button locations, etc.

I'm so used to shooting with my Sony cameras that I can use them the dark and half-asleep. This new-ish camera was a different make, and the hassle of fumbling with the camera while out and about was ruining my fun. All that gear together was packable and not heavy, but I regretted taking the new-ish camera. Back to top. Enter your email for daily blog updates:. Send tips news rumors guest post ideas.

The cameras that are for sale right now can produce truly spectacular photos in the right hands. Most cameras are better than the D90 in most ways, some are much better in all ways. If you can't do it with today's cameras you never will. Why not keep the D90? You have not mentioned that you have any particular problem with it. I have bought a D and a D after using a D90 for several years.

Sold the D Mainly use the D but the D90 still takes great pictures. Try the z50 with the yellow program if you want. Free trials are great. I am doing the z50 free trial right now.

But, I expect to return it and keep my D90 as my dx option. The D90 is no good in low light situations. I know, I've got one. More or less the same sensor as the D - again, I know because I've got one. All that said, I still love and use both cameras but prefer my D, which, however is significantly harder and more expensive to use.

Let's not open the boring Nikon mirrorless discussion here again! Keep it for the appropriate DPR forum. Ahh, but the op didn't mention this or anything else as a reason for his desire to upgrade. I wanted to know why he wanted to upgrade. How could I suggest anything without having this information? Because he asked about the z I think it is perfectly reasonable to ask about this camera, an option many are likely considering.

It is, after all, a Nikon dx camera. The latest. Nikon thinks it's a reasonable alternative. Sells an adapter so the op can potentially use his existing lenses. If they don't change anything else ie. No lens change and no change in technique the worse case scenario is they walk away with cleaner pictures with more dynamic range across the board.

It can either simply give them cleaner pictures, or. Going from an old D90 which I owned one to a D has no downside except making your wallet a little bit lighter. Doesn't the D have a limited top lcd, no easy iso? The op has not mentioned what he wants in a new camera. Does he want to upgrade just because of its years of life or specific use scenarios? Upgrade in technology is pretty vague.

Yeah, the D90 is technically obsolete. Not for high iso shooting and its base iso of is not very desirable. Still, depends on use. Spending money on great new 1. Yeah, I have similar thoughts. D should be great if I only use OVF.

But I need a good live view AF, which it can not do. So the successor of D should be a good choice. But I think it will never come out since Nikon is putting effort on Z now. Another option is waiting for FF D if you have the money. Rumor says it will come out early My D focusses fine in live view. What problems do you have with your D when you try and focus using live view?

I tried it in Best Buy. It was with the lens. I would pair it with if I end up getting it. I am wondering if the AF speed of this lens is close to the ? I don't understand why you think the D is not a modern camera, a strange sentiment as it is the latest in the D7x00 range and incorporates most of Nikon's latest technology.

The reason why the D appeared faster is because of the AFP lens. You have made quite a serious wrong assumption if you are judging the D based on using the compared to an AFP lens.

I use an lens and the is arguably better. Neither will be as fast as an AFP lens. But the mirrorless world has advanced quite a bit in the last couple of years. On the other hand, there is no other better DSLR in the market for me either. So I will just wait and see for now. Is it worth the hefty price tag?
