All rights reserved. It's sort of difficult to see where the Nikon N90s fits into the camera hierarchy. However, it is also not your consumer quality, all plastic camera with a built-in flash. It is because of this awkward position, that the N90s gets a great deal of criticism from both ends of the market.
Consumers complain it's too expensive or too heavy.
Pros complain that it's not heavy enough and that it doesn't have features like mirror lock-up. This means that the only people who are going to buy this camera are consumers with too much money, pros with too little money, and, perhaps the perfect customers for the N90s, the advanced amateurs. In my opinion, this is how the N90s should be viewed as, an advanced amateur camera. In my experience, the N90s fits this role perfectly, well, at least it provides more features and pumps out more performance than this advanced amateur could ever need. Having said that, it's time to get into specifics.
