Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nelbert" data-source="post: 1340113" data-attributes="member: 15035">I've got both and find I use the D90 as my second body (usually with a macro on it) - I'd take Rockwell's comments with a pinch of salt - it's very easy to get excellent results from the D90 but it's priced below the D300 for good reason - it doesn't have as many features as the 300 - it is lightweight and doesn't feel as solid - Low ISO performance on the D300 is slightly better IMHO though picture quality in the lower-mid iso range is pretty equal I'd say, but with the D300 you pay the extra for the extra options that shooting with the D300 gives you - in that sense the D300 is a better camera than the D90 and I don't really care what Rockwell thinks.That's certainly not to say that the D90 isn't - for a mid-level DSLR it's outstanding and capable of producing top-quality images and it's better than the D80 imho by some margin, but it is limited in terms of functionality (though I love the face recognition feature for street photography).  As long as people recognise that, I'd recommend the D90 as a terrific camera.</blockquote>
