Congrats on the camera. I shoot with a D90 too. The ISO performance isn't the greatest, but everything else is superb. Get the 35mm f1.8- great lens for this camera.

It only does that when it cannot focus. Like if your shooting a picture of a blank wall zoomed in.

yeah I know... but the weird thing is that... When I turn on the cam it'll do that. even though I try to focus it somewhere where it can usually focus... still wont. It'll do that for a long time. Gets me frustrated.

educate me

I have a new D90 and love it. Now I'm in lens aquisition mode.

So what's the issue with its ISO?

Must be noise? It goes to 6400 so not range...

you are correct. Just take two pictures back to back of say 800 and 1600. You will see the increase in noise.

Wow.

And I thought I had the mac daddy with a camera that could take me to 6400 if needed. Sounds like marketing specs with no way to really use it. But, all in all, the camera is much better than I am so, for now, its all I need.

^^ Yeah, it's good enough for most stuff. If you really need good low light performance, then the 35mm f1.8 is a life saver for this camera. Sometimes the ISO 1600 and up look OK, but in some situations it looks pretty bad.

what? i know this is an old thread, but in this price range, the d90 has good ISO performance up to 1600... i had a d3000 last year, and would never try anything over 800.

i like the camera, but still trying to learn how to use it...

Wow! Major noise at higher ISO or low light is what I wanted to avoid with a D90. Want to shoot more night stuff. Guess I should go D300s??
