Nikon D90 DX |

I just purchased my first dslr camera the Nikon D90…. I love it!!! I am just learning how to use it. I was wondering if you can turn off the shutter sound when taking a picture. I can on my little point and shoot to make it a quiet camera.

No, the shutter sound is a combination of the mechanical shutter activating and the mirror being flipped up. Your digital point and shoot doesn’t have to do this as it probably has an electronic shutter.

Just bought a Nikon D90 and wanted to test out the video in HD. Lens used nikkor 50mm f1.8

Which package would be better?

One has 2 lenses. The first lens is a Nikkor 18-55 VR lens, the second is a 55-200vr lens.

The second package just has a Nikkor AFS 18-105mm lens vr zoom, but it also has a free case and a tripod.

They are both around the same price. Which one do you suggest?

Hel.lo,

I would go with the first kit since the 2 lenses will cover a wide variety of shooting situations. You can always buy a case that suits your needs, they start at 20 dollars and go up from there. Also, how much will you use a tripod? The pods that come with these kits usually are not that great and tend to be bulky. Again, you can go to the store and buy a comparable tripod for 20-50 dollars.

i got this problem from someone do you have this problem pls read it

{{I just got a new Nikon D90 body and purchased a Tamron 18-270mm lens with it. I have run into a real deal breaker with this. Since my previous camera was a Pentax I don't have any other lenses to try with the D90 so I am just assuming the problem is with the lens.

Everything seems to work fairly well TTL but in Live View mode it can't get a focus in Auto focus on anything above about 150mm… it tries and tries and then settles on blurry. It makes the video recording useless if you can't get a focus before you start recording. I don't know if I got a bad lens or if there is a compatibility problem, but I would love to know for sure. I may just settle on the 18-200 Nikkor lens to be safe. }}}

For shooting stills Live View doesn't really offer much in the way of function. If you're shooting video, Auto-Focus is disabled. Usually when my camera can't focus it's because the subject is too dark. Does this problem only occur in Live View for the exact same subject and lighting as something that will function when using the viewfinder?

I thought I had decided I was certain I wanted to save up to purchase the Nikon D700, but the Nikon D90 comes in a much lower priced package deal right now at Costco. I would like to know if there is a site I could visit where I could run down the differences between these two cameras to see if I'd ever even use, or understand how to use, the extras on the D700. Thank you.
Silly question. I don't know what "noise" refers to in terms of photography. Can someone explain why that matters?

I suppose that means I have no use for a high end camera since I don't know much about the operation – but I am considering taking a few classes once I purchase.

Lisa, the D700 is a fantastic camera, but one with a very steep learning curve for a beginner.

There are major differences, but IMHO you'll be better served by the excellent D90. The big advantage for a camera novice is the Mode dial, that the higher model Nikons (D200, D300, D700, D3, & D3x) don't have. On the higher models, you have a selector dial for S (shutter priority), A (aperture priority), P (programmed mode), & M (manual settings). With experience and training, one can work wonders within these ranges.

However, on the "prosumer" level camera such as the D40, D60, D80, and the wonderful D90, you have more presets to help. The D90 had Modes for action, portrait, landscape, closeups, no flash, & nighttime portrait. These settings will allow you to capture the pictures you want as soon as you turn on the camera, and are still flexible enough to grow with you.

Just compare the controls and dials here.

Personally, I shoot with a D200 and would be very comfortable with the controls of a D700. But, looking at the price/performance scale, the D90 is likely to be my next Nikon.

By the way, the price difference between a $2300 D700 (body only price) and a $900 D90 (body only price) would allow you to assemble a $1,400 camera bag filled with lenses and accessories for the same price!
Hope this helps.
