The motor drive seems just a touch slower on the D90 compared to the D300. It's not too bad though. One feature that seems to be missing from the AF system is the ability to lock the shutter if you're not in focus. The D90 will fire off anyway giving you a beautiful bokeh filled shot with no discernible subject. This feature may be hidden as I haven't looked around for it too much but if it's there it's not in the AF menu settings.In poor light, it tends to hunt a bit more with the same lenses. It will find it's target it just takes 1/2 to 1 second longer. I took it out yesterday morning to test it in the dull overcast morning skies typical of coastal California. Once the sun came out I went back to the same location which provides direct sunlight and shade under trees.Overall a skilled photographer will have no issues using a D90 at all. Those willing to improve their skills shouldn't have much trouble either.</blockquote>
