As happens with seemingly every new product release these days, there have been rumors circulating about the Nikon D90 for a while now. All of those can be confirmed or put to bed as Nikon officially annouced the D90 earlier today. It is a camera that is aimed squarely at the serious end of the amateur photography spectrum, with features filtering down from some of Nikon's higher end offerings, such as low noise even at high ISO settings (which you can push as high as 6400). Key features include the 12.3 megapixel image sensor, 3 inch live view display and 11-point auto focus. One thing that does stand out is the fact that the D90 can also record 720p video at 24fps (in clips up to 5 minutes long). The video mode will work with any of your lenses, so it has plenty of potential for some artistic shooting. The D90 will set you back $999 for the body only, or $1299 with the 18-105mm f3.5/5.6 VR kit lens.
