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 Good Case, Not Flexible Enough…
Well, let me start by saying that the actual case is very good and has excellent padding, so no complains there. The reason I gave this a 3 star is because it did not meet my specific requirements.

I have a Nikon D90 and 35mm lens and also did have an old Lowepro case which fit both, along with additional space for lens cap and cords. I got another 55-200mm lens and was looking for some case to accomodate all three. This case fits the camera and 200mm lense perfectly, but does not leave any additional space for lens cap, cords, etc. I also had to figure a way to keep the 35mm in place!!

So I ended up buying a separate case for 55-200mm (from Lowepro as well) and attached that to my old case (also Lowepro) it works well and carrying both around is convenient as well. I can also avoid carrying the bigger lens if I dont have to and move around with a nice compact case!!

I still have to change lens in order to put the camera back in case, but I guess while using a DSLR you anyways end up changing lens multiple times…

5 Stars Just great for 70-300mm lens with D40
A great size case for D40. I am using it a lot. It is light, and easy to cary around, protecting the camera and the lense.

I do recomment this for the 70-300mm and smaller lenses. Even thou there is room when I have smaller lenses, it is great as it fits all sizes… Just love it… for the quality and price!!!

I do recommend this size, compared to the shorter one. Is better to have more room, then compress the lenses and the camera…

4 Stars Better than average
I was looking for a one stop case for my Nikon D90 + 18-200mm lens. I have seen conflicting reviews on whether the case is long enough for the above combination. And the verdict: yes, it is large/long enough to fit D90+18-200mm lens. And has a pocket for a memory card or two.

And it can fit (barely) the standard lens hood.

Drawbacks: Would have liked an extrenal zippered compartment.

4 Stars Compact travel holster for your DSLR
Compact travel holster, fits the D90 with kit lens. Made from great material but could have been better with more useful compartments. Needs a little more padding on the lower-end where the lens rests.

4 Stars An okay bag
It fits Canon T1i okay. I’d like to have a little more room at the top of the bag, for a camera strap. Camera is well protected inside. Don’t like how the bag sits/hangs on the belt. Don’t look attractive (might be a positive thing).

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 !!

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.

Great item for taking pictures. I took some excellent delayed shutter photos with my D90 and this. I couldn’t have done it without this, but I should point out that I also couldn’t have done without my D90 either. This shutter release is simple to use in every way and light to carry.

3 Stars Lens cap strap [With modification}
Works a promised with one exception:

Strap [just a stretchy cord] is too short for a lens longer than a standard lens.

I bought it for my NIKON D90 with 18-105 lens …. worked fine for a while but broke the cord after a month of use.

If the cord were longer I’m sure it would not have broken!

Easy fix …….. I replaced the ‘cord’ with a much longer 1/8″ black ribbon from my wife sewing supplies.

Can remove the metal clip at the ‘lens barrel’ area with needle nose pliers and the ‘dot’ decal comes off easy

on the ‘cap end’ so you can rethread any length cord you want. Just make knots at the cap end and the lens end so

the keeper is secured. Works great ……. no tension on the keeper!

Then again just buy another “Keeper” they are so cheap!

4 Stars So far so good
I purchased two one for a 58mm lenses and one for 77mm lense I was afraid that it breaks when i put it to the bigger lenses so i did with care trying not to open it to much to get inside, also I cleaned the surface with cleaning clothes trying to avoid the loss of sticking.

And so far none of the defectives or quality issues of other reviews have happened, remains one piece, remains attached to the cap keeper.

the cap keeper is cheap, but i leave the cap dangle with no extra care, i put and remove the cap often on my 77mm lenses because i have not buy the protection filter and it remains on good shape, no signs of warning.

I recommend the product, but i took the other reviews in mind on “my instalation instructions”

1 Star Do Not Buy
I received this lens cap keeper as part of a package when I bought my digital SLR. I have been using it for a month and a half (once a week or so), and today I looked down while taking pictures and my lens cap was gone! There was just an empty lens cap keeper dangling from my lens. I do NOT recommend this product. I have emailed the manufacturer to see if they’ll replace my Canon lens cap. I don’t want another one of their lens cap keepers because they don’t do what they’re supposed to do.

2 Stars Lens Keeper that may not keep
On day 2 the disc you place on the lens cap separated and the strap hung loose with half the disc on the end; the other half still on the lens cap. The disc is made from 2 discrete halves. I superglued both halves together and this had held. With this huge exception strap is fine. .

After reading about the lens cap not sticking to the cap keeper. I decided to use some black 3M Weather Strip Adhesive to help things out. So far it has worked great

4 Stars Nice snug, easily portable holster style case for compact DSLR
This is a very convenient bag for compact DSLRs. It like the holster style fit. I use it for an Olympus E420, which is a bit smaller than typical DSLRs. As a result, I can actually fit a standard zoom (Olympus 14-54mm, which is actually a bit larger than the standard kit zooms like Canon 18-55) along with the 25mm pancake prime lens. I inserted a padded divider so that the lenses aren’t banging into each other. The pockets provide room for a lens cloth, lens pen/brush, extra card, and extra battery.

I would have given it five stars except for a couple shortcomings compared to another similarly sized and priced Lowepro bag I bought several years ago:

- The fabric quality seems a bit cheaper.

- I wish there were more pockets and that they were more spacious, as on the other Lowepro bag I mentioned. I think this could have been done without changing the dimensions of the main compartment and without much additional cost. On the other bag I mentioned, there are pockets on all sides of the exterior. In addition, the exterior pockets of the other bag were a stretchy neoprene, which is more useful than the stiff fabric of the single exterior pocket on this one. I know I’m nitpicking but I’m just a bit disappointed since these seem like easy fixes and the other bag was made by the same company after all.

5 Stars Snug fit for D90 w/ 18-105mm lens
Perfect snug fit for my Nikon D90 with 18-105mm lens. I generally prefer to let the shoulder strap hang out of the bag.

There are two storage ‘compartments’ – one on the inside top cover, with a flap, other on the back, without a flap.

4 Stars Nikon D3000 kit
Nice case, nice quality, but space only for camera and lens nothing more. I have Nikon D3000 + lens 18-55 Kit for this set case good.

Overall its nice and compact and I can usually fit it in my backpack with other stuff. Overall, I really like it.

5 Stars perfect
My wife wanted something smaller for her Nikon D70 and an extra 70-300 lens. This worked well with room for extra cards and filters. Fit the bill.

3 Stars very good quality, D5000 does not fit
this bag is very good, but unfortunately does not fit Nikon D5000 because of the built-in flash. I tried all the positions and the camera must be forced to fit the bag and the bag is deformed a bit.

However, other SLRs like Pentax K100 or zoom point and shoot cameras will perfectly fit.

5 Stars Nice Camera Bag
Nice construction. I use it for my Nikon D40. Holds charger unit and a couple filters. Don’t expect room for another lens.

4 Stars The Explorer 2 (Tamrac 5502) is roomier and costs only $5 more
I’ve been using an Explorer 1 to carry a Nikon D40x+lens, two extra lenses, and a flash. Everything “kind of” fits, but the bag’s overstuffed, so the camera sticks up above the zipper. The bag closes, but bulges, with the LCD pressed against the top flap. A Nikon D90 is just a teeny bit taller & wider, so it sticks up even more… too much more for my peace of mind.

The Explorer 2 is just a little bigger in all dimensions than the Explorer 1… big enough to comfortably hold all the same equipment for the D90, and the camera does not protrude. The “2″ also comes with a pair of horizontal dividers to let you stack things on top of each other, on either side of the camera. Getting to a lower lens might be a little challenging, and my gear doesn’t need these; but they could be useful for some people.

The Explorer 2 is only $5 more than the Explorer 1, and I wish I’d gotten it in the first place, only because it’s roomier. The construction and extra pockets are the same for both bags: excellent workmanship, good protection, and places for lots of little things.

5 Stars Great starter bag
This bag is great. It’s sturdy, protects our camera well, has lots of pockets for storage of extras, and is easy to carry and lightweight. It is small, though, which is perfect for us. We just have the camera body and one lens (a Canon Rebel XS with the kit lens – 18-55mm). The camera fits snugly in the bag with the lens attached, and the case would probably fit one more lens and a flash. Right now, we use the extra space in the bag to fit our point-and-shoot, which is pretty handy. We also have our memory cards, battery pack, and USB cords for the camera stored in the front pocket. If you’ve got any more than just the basics, though, you’ll want a bigger bag. I suggest going to the Tamrac website, where they have all the specs on all their bags, plus diagrams with about how much each bag will fit. We did that, and ended up with the perfect bag for what we need!

5 Stars Beyond Perfection
I purchased this 50mm f/1.8 prime lens when I bought my Nikon D90 DSLR. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, given that you “zoom with your feet” so to get the photo you want, you physically move to the spot necessary to frame the shot as desired. I absolutely adore this lens. Lightweight, small, produces precise, crisp photos and lovely bokeh. My family traveled across 4 countries in 3 weeks this summer and I brought the Nikon D90, the kit lens that came with the camera, and this lens. I wound up using the 50mm f/1.8 almost every day! I switched to the other lens only to take photos of large buildings that were fairly close to me for example (in other words, using the 50mm, I wouldn’t be able to get the entire building in the frame). My subjects include our garden, our kids, our dog, architecture, fabric. The Sony D90 with this lens captures indoor subjects with natural light unbelievably well. Good luck with this lens, you will be thrilled with it!

4 Stars 50mm 1.8D Nikkor AF
My favorite lens its picture quality and compact size.

In a DX camera you will be looking into a 75mm 1.8; You couldn’t find a better portrait lens!!

Build quality is below average. The lens barrel feels plasticky and flimsy – the “Made in China” tag seems to explain all.

Fortunately the picture quality seems pretty good.

At this price – this is a steal!!

5 Stars The Best Value Lens You Can Buy
There are no words to describe how much better my pictures got after using this lens

If you’re an amateur, and need a lens to focus on the subject and leave the rest of the photo slightly out of focus….you need this lens

the depth of field is great, low light shots are great, and for around 120 bucks, what’s not to love??

4 Stars Great lens for day to day usage
We were looking for a lens that would allow day to day pics with good quality. We bought this based one of our friends loving it. It does take getting used to (for the amateur like me) when you come from a lens that allows zooming. But the pics are great. We used it at a baptism and you get amazing shots. We use it on our D70s. The lens is small, light and perfect for day to day usages. I would recommend this lens as it is an excellent lens for the money it costs.

5 Stars Can’t get anything better
I would suggest that this is a must lens for everyone using an SLR camera. It is great for indoors as well as outdoors. Be ready to walk a lot with this lens because it does not have a zoom. f/1.8 gives a great depth of field as well as superior speed. I won’t suggest this if you do a lot of indoor photography and you have a APS-C sensor camera (for example D300,D-90,D-80,D-60 etc) because 50mm sometimes is too much zoom for indoor spaces.

To conclude: If you are interested in buying this lens… Do it right now.
