I picked up the D90 last weekend as I wanted to try the video mode and have a lighter and quieter backup to the D3 to use for digiscoping. It's Liveview mode seems easier to use than that in the Olympus E420 ( more stable ) and it's faster. Here are some images taken today in dull , hazy light with the 30x and 45x eyepieces. I used the Nikon 20/2.8 D lens which is one of the sharpest lenses I have . I was able to use the Auto Focus mode which although a bit slow (slower than the P6000 and P5100 ) seemed accurate as long as the scope was focused first.
