To be honest, I'm surprised the D90 is still fetching as much as it is, at ~$1100 for the 18-105 kit. Its a fine camera, its just old, and the Canon 60D has a similar kit at about the same price, and is a much more recent model. The 60D is a much better performance/value. I think they are still selling the D90 to finish paying for that stupid ashton kutcher commercial.

Not trying to discourage getting a D90, its a great camera, but its MSRP is not as good as what canon offers you MSRP.
I like comparing identical photos from differing cameras. I also enjoy trying to beat auto functions. I prefer Nikon to Canon now but having bodies from both manufacturers means I can utilize a lot more bargain priced used lenses. If I found a super deal on a 500 mm Pentax lens I would probably buy a Pentax body so I could utilize the lens.

I may have missed the boat on Nikon D90s.Last week there were several liquidation opportunities locally.Those cameras didn't last long before they were sold out. The D90 seems appropriate because of its ability to work with older lenses. I can't afford anything better with that capability.

If the last of the D90s dry up before I raise the money to buy one then I don't know what I'll buy for a new camera. The only thing I know for certain is that sometime soon I want to buy a new Nikon.
