At last, Nikon has announced the successor to its popular D80 digital SLR in the shape of the D90. It looks very similar, but inside it's a absolutely new camera that's got advanced features from Nikon's professional models and user-friendly options from the D40/D60. It's the world's first SLR camera with a movie mode. This camera includes a new 12.3 MP CMOS sensor and the D3/D300/D700's superb high resolution 3.0-inch screen. Also it's got live view and continuous shooting at up to 4.5 frames per second. Lovely!
