While I'm not exactly the most demanding shooter in terms of battery performance, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could usually go more than a day with a single battery in my D9. Put in image terms, that's over 1. NEF files. Of course, using the internal flash starts to cut into that quickly. But, overall, the D9. EN- EL3e batteries, even those with triple digits in their numbers. Like the D80 before it, the Nikon D90 delivers an excellent dSLR for the money. In-depth review of the Nikon D90 DSLR, comparing its quality and features against rivals including the Canon EOS 600D / Rebel T3i. Included Components D7200 DX-format Digital SLR Body (Black) EN-EL15 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery; MH-25a Battery Charger; UC-E17 USB Cable; AN-DC1 Camera Strap. It's night and day better than the D8. D2. 00. But start playing with Live View or movies, and you'd better bring plenty of batteries. I'm not quite sure why, but I've gotten somewhat erratic results with movies. Sometimes I do no better than about 3. I can do considerably better. Nikon Picture Control D90 Vs D7100This also points out a detail that was overlooked by Nikon: the Battery info menu item only gives a . It would be nice if they had included a Live View/Movie time counter, too. Writing to Card I was pleasantly surprised at the write speed of the D9. With the right card (basically a San. Disk Extreme III 3. MB/s) this is the fastest consumer Nikon ever, and by a considerable margin. The best write performance I ever got out of a D8. MB/sec. On the D9. I've found a number of cards that give me 1. MB/sec or slightly better, and with the San. To compare real-life performance we shot the same scene with the Nikon D90 and Canon EOS 450D within a few moments of. This Nikon D90 guide explains the features, functions, pros and cons of this Nikon digital SLR.

On the D8. 0 I was always concerned about filling the buffer, and thus shot to avoid that circumstance. On the D9. 0, the write speed is fast enough that even when I've filled the buffer with NEFs, I can still get considerably faster that 1 fps out of the camera; call it 1. That means if you're a shutter release masher doing a long action sequence, you'll get 4. Nikons always shut down after 1. Autofocus System. Autofocus. performance is decent. It's not a big step up from the D8. Scene Recognition system. The big issue is that the CAM1. D9. 0 is not going to match a D3. If you need highly off- center autofocus, or excellent low- light focus performance, you really need to step up to the D3. That said, there was a bit of snap to the D9. D8. 0. If your subject has enough contrast and is in the sensor area, the D9. D8. 0 did (but not in Single Point AF, which doesn't track subjects). Bottom line is that you're more likely to be confused by the three- part focus setting controls (AF/M, AF- S/AF- C/AF- A, Single/Dynamic/Auto/3. D) than you'll be disappointed by the performance once you've figured those controls out. Put another way: if you're not getting the focus performance you expected, I strongly suggest that you spend some time examining the controls- -you might not be setting the system optimally for what you're trying to do. Color The D9. 0 uses the same Picture Control system that the pro Nikons now use. As far as I can see, the results are essentially the same, with only some modest tweaks to the mid- range. In general, every Nikon now tends to produce near accurate color with a bit too much saturation and contrast on all these cameras. Indeed, so much so that if you leave the camera set at the default settings you'll limit the dynamic range you can capture. I strongly suggest that you be careful to not put too much oomph into your JPEGs, as it's difficult to back out contrast and saturation, once recorded. My personal preference is to set my D9. Neutral, - 1 Contrast) and add in any contrast and saturation I might want in the final image. However, many D9. Just be aware that you'll have a tough time with high contrast scenes if you start dialing up the controls to get that punch you want. The direct Kelvin settings once again didn't match my Minolta Color Meter and my Imatest measurements, but they're closer than the D3. The range over which Auto WB works well is more limited than Nikon suggests, though from about 4. K to 6. 50. 0K it can probably be trusted. I should point out that the Korean camera clubs have been harping about Auto WB (with the D9. D3, D3. 00, and D7. Basically, they find that with JPEGs and Auto WB, these cameras are using a desaturation technique on colors that are near neutral in order to . Noise. Let's start with amp noise: very good, especially compared to the D8. Generally, we aren't worried about amp noise until we start shooting long exposures. The problem with the D9. Long Exp NR. Both the D8. D7. 00 are worse than the D9. My D9. 0 has a tendency to produce only one or two hot pixels when pushed, but my point is that it can definitely be provoked to do that. As you bump up the ISO you need to be more careful to watch for this. But at my normal shooting settings, my D9. Compared to my D8. Nikon supplied as a replacement, the D9. Everyone expects my basketball shot by now, so I won't let you down: This is 1. ISO 3. 20. 0, default settings, proper exposure, unretouched. There's a course grain- like effect to the noise, and if you look closely you'll see some false color in the wall behind the backboard (hint: it's not pink). Nikon D9. 0 Guide. Published: October 2. I'd like to kick off this Nikon D9. Every other digital SLR camera that I've used has come with some type of limitation - which means that it's great for one style of photography (portrait) but maybe not another (action). The Nikon D9. 0 suffers from no such limitiations, allowing you to do just about anything you want to precisely capture the image you've created in your mind's eye. It's a camera that is able to capture exceptional portraits, can render sweeping landscapes, and will also serve you quite well capturing your son or daughter in his or her first sporting event. It works equally well when there's plenty of available light or when there's virtually no light at all, and can compensate for the color shifts that occur under artificial lights. The end result: you wind up with natural- looking photos even when you're taking pictures in less- than- ideal lighting conditions. This is one of those rare cameras that simply works exactly the way that it is supposed to and captures remarkably high- quality results, regardless of your subject matter. In order to prevent overheating, the length of the video you can capture with this camera is limited: Regular format videos are limited to 2. High Definition videos are limited to 5 minutes. While not the ideal solution for those who want to record entire dance recitals, it is great for capturing shorter segments of video in between your still frame photographs. And it has a huge benefit over a regular video camera: you can change lenses for dramatic video segments. Stick on a telephoto lens to capture video of animals in the wild, or pop on an extreme wide angle lens for videos with a radical perspective. Your only limitations are your imagination and the willing participation of your subjects. Top of Page. Who The Nikon D9. For. This is a really tough question to answer, and something that I pondered for a long time while writing this Nikon D9. In the end, I came up with an answer that made sense: the Nikon D9. That's the simple overview - let's dig a bit deeper. I mentioned at the beginning of this guide that there really is nothing that the Nikon D9. It will take beautiful portraits, can capture fast- moving action, will render a landscape in vibrant colors and excels at capturing images even with very low ambient light levels. And - oh yeah - you can also grab some videos with it. All this just means that the D9. As a parent with two children, I found it especially useful in a wide variety of photographic situations: If I was taking pictures indoors, I could increase the ISO without having to worry about significant loss of image quality. The 1. 1- point autofocus locked on instantly, helping me capture fleeting expressions and smiles. The built- in flash did a great job of adding light without washing out the entire image. If my kids started hamming it up, I could switch over to video mode to capture the action with sound effects. If you're not snapping photos in constantly shifting light conditions or have no desire to capture video with your SLR, then the D9. Just realize that you're paying a premium for these special features - if you really don't think you'll use them, then there are plenty of other cheaper cameras out there that don't have the versatility and price tag of the D9. Top of Page. In Comparison. Nikon D9. 0 vs. D8. The Nikon D9. 0 is such a substantive improvement over the D8. But the D8. 0 is the direct predecessor to the D9. D9. 0 offers that the D8. If you consider both cameras from a purely photographic perspective they are quite similar (although the D9. Where the D9. 0 really sets itself apart from the older D8. Let's find out. DIFFERENCEANALYSISThe D9. D8. 0 does not. This is a good thing - once dust contaminates a digital sensor (which can happen any time you change the lens) it can be a real pain to get off and shows up in all your photos as little black smudges. The dust control system repels dust from the sensor to keep it clean. The D9. 0 has an image- stabilized kit lens, the D8. Image stabilization is a great feature for anyone who wants to photograph non- moving subjects in dim available light without using flash. The stabilization prevents your images from blurring due to the slight motion of the camera in your hands when you use slow shutter speeds. The D9. 0 has live view, the D8. Live view lets you compose photos using the LCD in addtion to the viewfinder. It's most helpful when composing photos at odd angles when holding the camera up to your eye isn't feasible (or comfortable). Live view really only works with static subjects since it slows down the overall performance of the camera. The D9. 0 has dynamic range control, the D8. The dynamic range control (called Active D- Lighting) has a very subtle effect on your images - if you're not used to closesly inspecting the tone of highlights and shadows in your photos, you probably won't leverage this feature a lot. The D9. 0 has a movie mode, the D8. The video mode on the D9.
