My own opinion on the D90? I certainly want to shoot with one – for fun. Especially to try out some of the video functions with some of my lenses. I don’t think it will be my “primary camera”. But things are changing and perhaps in the not too distant future, the high-end SLR’s and digital medium format cameras may not be the only gear for every shoot. In the past, I have had photo shoots where I shot film & video along with the photography for a campaign. Maybe the the D90 is the beginning of new trend of all-in-one cameras of the future.

More comparisons here.

Almost forgot – Nikon had some professionals test out the camera first. See Chase Jarvis in this video testing the D90 prior to its release. I think this is awesome – the marketing vision, the video, everything! (YouTube Link)
