5 Stars Better alternative
This is a better alternative to the kit lens you get with your Nikon, this lens is better built. This lens is more durable, and it can take photos in lower light which makes it faster.

4 Stars Petite, nicely put together, sharp
I bought this lens mainly to go with my little Nikon D60, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by it. For the roughly $100 I paid for it, it’s turned out to be quite a good lens. I originally bought this lens because of it’s tiny size. I also own the Nikon 18-55 VR which is a nice lens, but it was just large enough to be extremely difficult to wedge into or pry out of the small case area I have for it, so I thought I would try this lens out. It’s enough smaller than the Nikon lens that it fits about perfectly into the case I wanted to carry it in.

Pros:

- the lens feels better constructed than the Nikon 18-55 VR. It’s not so much that the Nikon 18-55 is horrible(at least in comparison to other similar lenses), but this lens does feel a bit more solid and above average. Does it matter? Not much to me, although the metal bayonet mount is really nice to find in this price range.

- I can’t see any difference in sharpness between this lens and the Nikon 18-55 VR. I’m not saying there isn’t any difference, there might be, but I haven’t been able to see it. This a good thing, since the Nikon 18-55 that this lens supplanted has been a sharp lens. That’s not to imply that this lens is as good as a $1200 pro lens, but in comparison to the other similar lenses I’ve tried, this little Sigma isn’t lacking in the sharpness department.

- it’s tiny. It’s barely larger than most prime normal lenses.

- focusing seems really fast and precise, more so than the Nikon 18-55 that I own.

- inexpensive.

Cons:

- like all inexpensive, small sized lenses, it has a fairly small maximum aperture, f3.5 at 18mm to f5.6 at 50mm. Not a problem for me, and not really a con, it’s a trade-off to get the size down and keep the price reasonable.

- Sadly, no OS. Again, I can live with it the way it is, since VR would make the lens larger, and maybe a little more expensive.

The more I use this little semi-precious gem the more I like it, and the more convinced I am of it’s excellent value.

5 Stars Great Lens, awsome price, fast shipping
If you have never owned a sigma they are every bit as good as a Nikon for all but the most demanding professional photographs. I’m sure the expert photographer can tell the difference but my dad (who teaches photography at a local college) swears they are every bit as good for a fraction of the price

4 Stars Affordable good performance
Right out of the box instructions were easy to follow. Lense quality is fairly good. I thought that for the price I would get something “cheap”; wrong. Very sturdy. Take the time to read the setting instructions and you will get very good/excellent results.

5 Stars Food photographer
I like to take close ups of food and from my use of it so far, it is a great macro lens!

1 Star A total waste of money!!!!!
I bought this battery in November, charged it and put it in my camera bag. A week later (early December) I went to use it, and it showed that the battery needed charging. Strange, I thought, and re-charged it. Same scenario. I never even got to use the thing. It is worthless.

1 Star Simply doesn’t work with my D90
Although it looks and feels not bad, it simply doesn’t work with my D90. So I’m returning it. A little disappointed because the Opteka D90 grip got very good review.

1 Star Would not work in D90
Nikon’s charger would show this battery as fully charged, but my D90 would show it as a dead battery. I have returned this battery and will be buying the OEM from Nikon. Don’t waste your time with this 3rd party battery, go for the OEM. I received this as a gift, and Amazon was amazing in helping me return this item for a refund.

1 Star Opteka EN-EL3E Won’t Work In New Nikon D90
Purchased the Opteka EN-EL3E for my new Nikon D90. Charged it in the Nikon charger and even though the charger shows it charged the D90 shows it is not so battery will not work in D90. Contacted 47st Photo with two emails asking to return for replacement and they do not answer. Save your money and your time and buy a genuine Nikon battery, at least their support people answer you!

1 Star Don’t waste your time
Save yourself some trouble and buy the real Nikon battery. The new EN-EL3e is an improved battery from it’s predecessor. I purchased this Opteka for my D90 and it DID NOT recognize it. If I were you I would not risk it. It was cheap enough for me to try, but not worth the money or RISK of you do try it on your Nikon and something goes wrong so I am returning it to Amazon. From now on, I play no games an only buy Nikon original stuff. Amazon has a very good price on the Nikon branded battery. You pay for what you get, in this case I got nothing though

3 Stars Not Convinced I Make the Right Choice
I hate to make a review this soon, but after taking holiday pictures, I must say that I am not bowled over with my pictures. I had a Nikkon Coolpix 8mp and absolutely loved it. Thus my choice with this camera for moving up. My pictures are either very bad or great, but not really in between. I’m sure I need to learn more, but it’s not the quick pick up and shoot camera my other one was! I am disappointed for now.

5 Stars Great camera
The Nikon D90 is outstanding. My family can’t believe the pictures that I’m taking since I got the camera. The camera has a lot of bells and whistles. It’s takes a good time learning the camera but it’s worth it. Would recommend this camera for anybody that enjoys a well constructed camera.

4 Stars First time SLR Owner – Light Years better than ANY Point-and-Shoot
I have used DSLRs before but this is the first one I bought and was not at all disappointed.

It is the perfect camera to own as a first time SLR owner if you plan to use it often as it can autofocus with all the old Nikon lenses.

The picture quality is excellent but I recommend trying a wide angle lens such as the Nikkor 10-24mm or the Tokina 11-16mm which will create a whole new experience as you can create art with pictures.

If you consider yourself a semi-serious photographer who considers photos art and don’t mind a lot more weight compared to any Point-and-shoot, the D90 is for you. It takes excellent photos and most importantly is laid out very sensibly and is easy to navigate around the menus, not to mention is very, very very fast compared to a point-and-shoot.

If you just want to take snap shots with your friends and family and shoot on occasional trips you probably want a point-and-shoot or the Nikon D3000 or older entry level models which are smaller, lighter and cheaper while not sacrificing quality very much but slim on more advanced features.

5 Stars Must add a 5 star
The first few reviews sum this camera up pretty well. I love my camera, and I purposely chose this camera over the more expensive D300.

5 Stars Big bow to D90 it really rocks !!

Big bow to D90 it really rocks !! i recently bought Nikon D90 and we had a baby 1 week back and the pic’s experience was really different and amazing. I am not a professional photographer but still dared to put money on this and now i realize it really worth for money. The picture quality and features are brilliant, easy to operate. Do not think twice to buy this product , just go a head !!

♦ 2) Vivitar 52mm UV Glass Filter
♦ 3) Precision Design Deluxe 6 Piece Lens & Digital SLR Cleaning Kit

This Vivitar UV Filter is a multi-purpose, fine-weather filter that is designed to optimize your photography experience. UV filters block out unwanted ultraviolet light and prevents the UV “fogging/haze” effect”, which can result in inaccurate color and lower the apparent sharpness. This filter is also ideal for protecting your valuable lens from scratches and dust, and it can be kept on the lens at all times. Perfect for digital, video and photo.

Keep your lens cap securely attached to your lens with the convenient, simple-to-use CapKeeper. Never lose a lens cap again!

This 6-piece cleaning kit contains everything you’ll ever need to properly clean your lenses, including a Hurricane Air Blower, Lens Cleaning Tissues, Lens Cloth, Lens Cleaning Liquid, Brush and Cotton Swabs.

Product was shipped well and rec’d in excellent condition. It was exactly what I wanted. And the price was good.

5 Stars Nikon 55-200 VR Nikkor Zoom Lens
I just got this as a gift yesterday and I am very pleased with it. The pictures are crisp and clear and the closeups from distant shots are impressive. I would like to test it out more but for now I am impressed with it.

4 Stars Love the lens
I bought this item after reviewing previous ratings and a LOT of research as I was concerned about the budget. Initially my plan was to buy the 70-300 mm Non VR lens. It was within my budget and was thinking 300mm would help me to cover more distance.

But after reading reviews and comparisons I chose 55-200mm VR.

Reasons:

1. VR helps me a lot as I am interested in taking Sunset/Sunrise and do not have a dedicated external flash.

2.100mm doesn’t make big difference. Read a quote by Ansel Adams “Best wide-angle lens? ‘Two steps backward’ and ‘look for the ah-ha’” mentioned in Kenrockwell page.

So thought, for 300mm I need to move forward few steps, ha ha.

3. Have Nikon D40 so wanted a lens which works in AF mode. 70-300mm doesn’t.

So bought in Oct, love this and its awesome. Except the add-ons, they are not very good quality materials. But this deal is cheaper than the lens in other sites.

Thanks for people who wrote the reviews….

BTW, the lens makes some noises while auto focusing and (releasing shutter if VR is on), and its normal.

5 Stars G.K.Babu’s Review
As described Lens quality and price is superb. Item is in excellent condition. Recommended Seller. Thanks.

5 Stars No Brainer Sports Action
I bought this lens based on several recommendations about the quality of the images you can get with it. In particular, the lightness of the lens is a major factor. I recently bought the Nikon D90 I use this lens on and the combination is very easy to hold for long periods and to shoot sports with. All the pictures I took with reasonable light levels were super sharp. I used it to shoot pictures of my grandson playing football and even caught a sequence of shots where I zoomed between shots (1 second apart or so) as he scored almost right in front of me. All the shots at 200mm were excellent after discounting my sometimes poor selection of where to point the lens. The VR clearly was working as I was hand-holding for all my shots,

1 Star “F- -” and “ERR” error messages
My camera started showing the dreaded “F- -” and “ERR” error messages 2 days after I received it. The only way to remove the error sign is to remove the battery. A quick internet search revealed that these errors are not rare. From what I gathered, apparently there is a problem at the camera/lens interface. The problem occurs at least once a day and it occurs with the 18-105 mm kit lens (haven’t tried any other lenses). I am returning the camera for an exchange. Hopefully the new one will not have the same problem. Otherwise the camera IQ and user interface are great, though noise reduction is a tad bit overwrought.

5 Stars Best value and more than enough room for creativity; Pro camera for amateurs and wannabees
I upgraded from a D60 (which I sold easily on Amazon’s Marketplace)for two reasons. I wanted more control of functions and I wanted to have more lenses available with the autofocus functionality. This is a well designed and fully equipped camera. Easy to improve on it; just add good lenses. I suggest a good wide angle (8 or 10 mm, manual focus will work), a wide-angle zoom (suggestion: tamron, sigma or tokina in the 10-35 mm range) and a zoom such as the Nikon VR 55-200, plus a teleconverter (2X from Kenko) and you have the ability to shoot all kinds of pictures. A sigma 50 mm macro lens will allow for close up. About the camera: very easy to set up and extremely easy to operate; just read the small booklet to get started. Some variations to explore later are to set up the quality of image capture (regular or RAW, at different resolutions) and the ability to shoot single pictures or a sequence, with or without exposure bracketing. In brief a camera for people who know all these details or want to or care to learn.

Picture quality is very good and handling, battery life and LCD images are very good. I had a great experience with D60 and expect similar dependability and reliability but will update this later.

5 Stars My first NEW camera
After starting out with a used Nikon D70 and then upgrading to the D80 which was also used, I was torn between A used D300 and a New D90. After much research, price comparisons, and reading some of the great reviews here at Amazon, the answer was clear. Many of the controls are similar to the D80 so there were only a few areas to learn about. As a fashion/glam photographer my main subjects are models in outdoor settings. Within a week of receiving the D90 I gave it a workout in 30+ degree weather. IT performed flawlessly!! NO fogging despite it not being weather proof like the D300. The images are brilliant, vibrant, and sharp. The exposure meter seems to be dead on. A highly recommend piece of equipment!!

5 Stars Great Compact DSLR
Strengths:

Fast 11-Point Focus; Great Low Light Performance; Sharp LCD Screen; HD Video; Long Battery Life; Size; Solid Build;

Weaknesses:

Heavy for its ‘compact’ size’; Backlight on the Control Panel LCD Screen (on the right top of the unit) not bright enough; A bit cumbersome to activate “Timer”.

A camera that packs a big punch but without the bulk of the average sized DSLR. The body is smaller than the prosumer/professional DSLR’s, which is perfect for the average enthusiast/hobbyist. I mated it to a 18-250mm lens and took it on a trip recently. That was all I needed to get wide and zoom shots. I had the “Auto Mode” set most of the time and all the shots came out very nice! The few times I used “Manual Mode” to tweak the Shutter, Aperture, ISO settings, the shots were amazing.

5 Stars Exceeds My High Expectations
I bought my D90 from a local camera store on recommendation from a friend who has a D40x. When I pointed out the significant price difference between the two, he simply said. “Buy it; it’s worth the difference.” And after owning the camera for a year now, I couldn’t agree more with his recommendation.

When we buy products and live with them awhile, our impressions may range from “sorely disappointed” to “as expected” to “pleasantly surprised.” The D90 has been a very pleasant surprise — and my expectations were high to begin with.

I have used the D90 in a variety of situations including dog shows, vacation trips, weddings and receptions, and the usual family activities — around 2500 shots taken so far. It has been completely reliable. The pictures are excellent quality — that’s a camera statement, not one about my skills.

At this point, I have one lens for the D90 — Nikon’s 18-200 mm DX VR zoom. I plan to review the lens separately, but suffice it to say that it is a great all around (some say walk around) lens for the D90.

There are many, many other favorable reviews here on this camera so I won’t repeat much on the details here. Suffice it to say, the numbers don’t lie!

The D90 has a LOT of functionality. Adding function to a product increases complexity and can make it harder to use. Good product designers get around this by picking defaults such that the function doesn’t require user attention unless s/he so wishes. The D90 is excellent in this regard. You can start shooting nice pictures with it in auto mode or the programmed modes fairly quickly. Moving up to the P, A, S, & M modes opens a whole new world of functions you can learn when you need or want them. Learning the D90, and photography in general, is a journey not a goal.

This battery is the same as the original that came with my camera. I expect it to be just as long-lasting.

5 Stars Standard Nikon Battery, Great Quality
On a recent trip to Sedona, Arizona, I encountered a photographer’s worst nightmare: dead battery!. Sulking in the corner as my wife snapped photos with her iPhone, I resolved never to let this problem happen again. I bought another battery from Amazon that night, and would encourage every other photog here to do the same thing. A spare battery, don’t leave home without it!

5 Stars A battery… what’d you expect?
Its not just a battery though; its a Nikon battery. My advice is to always buy the name brand when it comes to things like batteries. Its a small extra investment that will give you the peace of mind of knowing your camera won’t short out on you.

I will only use Nikon batteries in my cameras. I have tried the bargain brands but was not impressed with the quality of the batteries. In my experience, Nikon batteries will outlast the bargain brands charge-for-charge and in total lifespan. I purchased several cheaper batteries for a long trip to Africa, and a single Nikon battery lasted longer than two of the other brands. I will not repeat my mistake. Nikon batteries are more expensive than the alternatives, but in the end the expense is justified by solid performance.

4 Stars Absolutely NIKON original product
Absolutely NIKON original product. There’s a lot so-called original on eBay but actually OEM for half a price. I don’t mind use OEM as long as it is good. But after took a close look at the OEM one, I decided to turn back to really original one. It is bad those OEM ad as original.

5 Stars Works great
How to review a battery charger? It charges quickly and efficiently! Can’t ask for much more than that!

3 Stars Questionable quality
I broke my original Nikon charger by dropping it about five feet onto a concrete sidewalk. No visible damage, but it would not work after that. No complaints at this point and I ordered a new one. It arrived and worked fine for a week or two. Then it began to exhibit comnnection problems. Found the contacts where the battery met the charger were weak. Finally bought a Torx screwdriver and opened the cover. The contacts were fastened to the housing with a small spot of glue that pulled away from the housing. I reglued it but was sure it will not hold. Filled the mostly empty part of the housing with foam rubber and reassembled. Works fine now with the foam rubber holding the contacts in the proper position, but you should not have to redesign a new charger.

4 Stars Very Quick
The battery charger does what it is supposed to do! It is relatively quick and compact. If you have more than one camera bag (like me) get one for each and you will NEVER be caught out of town without it!!!
