The D90 is a digital single-lens reflex camera model announced by Nikon on August 27, 2008. It is a prosumer model meant as a replacement for the Nikon D80, fitting between the company's entry-level and professional DSLR models. Nikon gives the D90's Estimated Selling Price in the U.S. as $999.95 US for the body only and as $1299.99 with the Nikkor AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR, which by itself sells for $399.95.

Actual prices are lower. Some of the improvements the D90 offers over the D80 include 12.3 megapixel resolution, live view capability and automatic correction of lateral chromatic aberration. The D90 is also notable for being the first DSLR to offer video recording, with the ability to record HD 720p videos, with mono sound, at 24 frames per second (for up to 5 minutes or 20 minutes for smaller resolutions).

The Nikon D90, Nikkor AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR and MB-D80 battery grip are manufactured in Ayuthaya, Thailand, along with most Nikon DSLRs and lenses. Unlike less expensive models such as the D40, D60, and D5000, the D90 has a high resolution rear LCD screen, as well as a built in autofocus motor, which means that all Nikon F-mount autofocus-lenses (except the two for the rare Nikon F3AF) can be used in autofocus mode.
