Description: The Nikon N90s is an advanced autofocus 35mm camera. The Nikon N90 and N90s have infallible light meters and flash exposure systems. Load an N90 with some Velvia 50 and prepare to be amazed at how well it works. They look simple on the outside and are easy to use and shoot, belying all the technology hidden inside. The N90s was Nikon's newest, best and most expensive amateur 35mm SLR of all time, exceeded only by the F100 of 1999. The N90s sold for over $1,000, even at discount, throughout most of the 1990s, and was sold new through 2004. The N90s replaced the almost identical N90, which was made from 1992-1994. This review is written for the N90s. I'll point out any differences in the N90 as I go. The N90s is fast and sure. It only has one AF sensor, but a good one. The N90s feels like a 1980s camera with its liberal use of plastic, but has a tough stainless-steel lens mount and rugged internals. If the noisy AF motor bugs you, pop on a modern AF-S lens like the 24-70mm f/2.8 AF-S and it's silent. The N90s has less developed ergonomics. It's the same as the N6006 and N8008. It can do everything you'll want it to do, but it won't always be as convenient as newer cameras, like the newer and much cheaper N75. Its funny to read the manual and sales brochures, because everything is pitched as "computerized" and even the stupid beeper is referred to as "an electronic beeper." Back in 1992, personal computers had just barely become common to electronics engineers, and were rarely seen in normal people's homes. eMail and the Internet were only used by engineers at work. Regardless of the slight clumsiness compared to 2014's best 35mm cameras like the F6, the results from the N90s are spectacular. The N90s gives perfect focus, perfect exposure and perfect flash fill, all by magic. The N90s may look like a 1980's VCR on the outside, but hums like the magic of an iPhone inside. It has superb 3D matrix metering, and better flash exposure than newer cameras. The N90s is for the USA. It's called the F90x everywhere else. The N90 was called the the F90 everywhere else. The only differences are who covered the warranty when new.
