Wow! Feels rock solid. First impression says it all. Debated between Canon T2i and 7D. First, T2i feels light, somewhat like a toy camera. The 7D feels solid but not worth the price.
This is my first Nikon DSLR and it's here to stay. Go with Nikon 16-85mm lens and you won't be disappointed! Video at 720p is great as well. Overall, I glad I made the right decision.

This is an awesome camera. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it is a bit heavy to carry around and it does require a great deal of time to learn the features. I am a "Nikon snob" and have an older Nikon 6006 SLR that has served me well for years. Now that I'm retired and have more time for my photography habit, I wanted to move up to a digital SLR. I chose the D90 because I can use the auto-focus lenses I already own. If I didn't already have the lenses, I would have bought the D5000. I also love the HD video ability of this camera. I've only been using it for a short time and the difficulties I've encountered are purely of the "operator error" type. The camera is fantastic! Geared more for professionals and serious hobbyists than amateurs. I love it.

Just got back from a trip to Alaska and camera worked about 50% of the time (F-- error on screen; sometimes(!) removing the battery would reset it). Many of the pictures I was able to take are overexposed. Bad camera? Will send in for warranty but that won't undo the lost opportunities, frustration, and aggravation caused.

Great camera. I still have a lot to learn but I just set it on automatic and go. Eventually I'll try all the new features but the pictures are great and the screen on the back of the camera gives you a great idea of how good your picture really is. I'm having a great time taking pictures and driving everyone crazy with Smile!
