Nikon N90s
By Anne Ahira
The Nikon n90sis a 35MM SLR camera, this camera has long been believed to be the best and most expensive amateur camera of the Nikon line, except for the recent F100.

Pros
The Nikon n90s was a great camera for its day and many people still use them today, in fact, many professionals prefer them. This could be partly due to the fact that these are some of the most durable cameras ever made. A professional photographer reports that his has seen its way through riding the back of a goat, trips down a hill banging trees all the way, dusty roads and bumpy terrain. At the end of the journey, the Nikon n90s had just a couple of scratches.
The LCD illumination is lit by an extremely bright cyan backlight. It is much brighter than even some later models with a dim green LED backlight. This light can backfire on you at night if you are trying to sneak up on your subject!
The Nikon n90s is compatible with all Nikon lenses from the AF series. Do not use a DX lens or you will have images with black corners.
Cons
Unlike newer cameras the Nikon n90s is a pain to change between the P, S, A and M exposures. You have to use two hands to make this adjustment, which makes it a bit unwieldy.
The Nikon n90s will make all kinds of racket when you attach one of the screw type AF lenses. You will quickly understand why the company created the AF-S lens, the S stands for silent.
Bottom Line
If you are new to photography or simply, want to experience one of the all time great cameras you should look for a Nikon n90s. The problem will be finding one. After the units were discontinued, they sold well even used for several years. Today if you can find one on the used market it will likely still cost you $65-$200. Considering you can purchase many newer models for that same price range, you may be less inclined to purchase the Nikon n90s
