The camera is rubber-wrapped metal alloy it is much more solid than lesser cameras, such as the N65, N80, etc. The ergonomics are better than the F4's for small or medium sized hands. Its motor drive is suitably fast, but it doesn't matter, as no one uses film for fast sports any more. This camera has the pro-level build quality associated with Nikon's F series, but is not so big or heavy. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: pre-owned | Sold by: whittysgirl It has always treated me well and I am surprised that they haven't held their resale value any better than they have. It is my art in images.I reserve my film cameras for those rare occasions when I am going for that specific look and I take much longer before I snap each shot.Īnyways, the N90 stands up to everything I can throw at it. I shoot almost exclusively digital these days because it is so much less expensive and I have total control over the editing. I am under the impression that it cannot be done. I even shot weddings with it.įilm has a characteristic of all its own that I have been unable to recreate with digital cameras. I stayed with Nikon because I was used to it. I bought this used one twenty years later for the nostalgia of it. This camera was great the first time I owned one. This is a Quality Camera That I Got for a Great Price! I find it good enough to be my regular "walking around" camera. Definitely consider this for a backup or "dangerous assignment" body if you have an F4/5/6. In fact, most of the useful controls are right where you'd want them to be. Yes, it only has a single AF zone, but I can live with that (and often prefer it.) It has matrix, center-weighted and spot metering, also surprisingly accurate, and easy access to exposure compensation. I'll take one of these where I wouldn't necessarily want to take my F5, and it'll do pretty much everything I need it to do under most circumstances. On the "con" side, they are heavier than the later "prosumer" models from Nikon, noisy (but accurate and surprisingly quick) autofocus, and the viewfinder isn't quite as bright as, say, an F4 or F5. On the "pro" side, these are reliable, use standard AA batteries, work with a wide assortment of Nikon lenses, support most pre-iTTL strobes and have a very good user interface. It takes a few minutes, but if you don't mind the feel of plastic (as opposed to "rubberized" plastic) it's a permanent solution. I've found the best solution is to remove the door, then remove the rubber coating with a paper towel soaked in rubbing alcohol. It quickly got gummy and sticky, or just started to peel off.

The F90/N90 series also had problems with the rubber coating, especially on the film door.

They've got the heft and feel of the pro F4 and F5, while the N80/F80 feels like a D90 (which it resembles in many ways.) The D90 is a fine camera, i t just doesn't feel as solid as I'd like. The build quality of the F90/N90 series is definitely higher than the newer models - less plastic in critical places (like the rewind fork) make it clear that these cameras were made for serious work. The N90s/F90x isn't quite up to the level of those cameras but it still has a lot to offer the serious photographer who wants to shoot film, especially at the prices they go for these days! If you want the latest whizbang, the N80/F80 or the F100 are the way to go for "prosumer" gear, but you'll pay more. Nikon's film camera technology reached its peak with the F100, N80/F80 and of course the F5 and F6. Not up to the latest technology, but hard to pass up at current prices!
