Also, you can reset the camera to its defaults by pressing both green-dot buttons simultaneously. It’s not at all obvious how to rewind the film: simultaneously press both buttons that have a film canister on them. It works well enough, but it’s tricky to learn. To select modes and settings, you have to press various buttons and spin the dial that’s to the right of the LCD panel. The N90s was designed before the now-ubiquitous mode dial was invented. If you’d like to know more, check out the details at. You get all of those exposure and metering modes when you use AF-D Nikkor lenses you lose some of those modes with AF-G and plain AF Nikkor lenses and more of them with AI Nikkor lenses. It offers four exposure modes (program, shutter-priority, aperture-priority, and manual) and three metering modes (spot, center-weighted, and 3D matrix). But a few key facts: its shutter operates from 30 seconds to a super-fast 1/8000 sec., and it takes film from ISO 6 to 6,400. The Nikon N90s has so much going on it would take me five paragraphs to describe it all. It doesn’t take much Internet searching to find stories of N90s’s that kept shooting after harrowing treatment. Nikon aimed these cameras at advanced amateurs and as alternate bodies for pro photographers who otherwise shot the F4.ĭon’t let the plastic body fool you: this metal-framed camera is built for rugged use. It superseded the earlier, very similar N90/F90, which was made from 1992 to 1994. Nikon made the N90s (F90X outside of North America) from 1994 to 2001. I shot three rolls of film before writing this review, but barely scratched the surface of what this camera can do. Twenty-seven bucks for this professional-caliber 35mm SLR with more features than I will ever be able to use. A sure sign that we live in remarkable times: I bought this Nikon N90s body, which retailed new for anywhere between $700 and $1000, for just $27.
