Product Information
Get ready to snap beautiful photos and create enduring memories with the Nikon 35mm F90X/N90S film camera. Equipped with an AF sensor and a cyan-lit LCD, this classic takes high-quality photos even in dim lighting. The camera features a built-in shutter to block excessive light from the viewfinder, thereby protecting your photos from overexposure. Noted for its remarkable autofocus speed and high-speed motor drives, this 35 mm SLR camera is well-suited for personal and professional photography endeavors. Exploit a myriad of choice photo-capture settings, such as portrait and landscape, to embellish your photos. The camera is enhanced with an excellent mirror box, an improved viewfinder, and a sturdier frame. Although the Nikon N90S is a design marvel, you do not have to be tech savvy to adjust its settings; just use the user-friendly Sharp Wizard Organizer to customize it.Compared to similar film cameras, the Nikon N90s/F90X has all the features you need. It has a rapid motor driver, matrix metering, fast autofocus, and top flash capabilities. With the matrix metering, you can set it for a center-weighted or spot exposure reading. All you need to do is add a lens to this body. If you already own Nikon MF lenses, they are used with the N90s in Manual and Aperture Priority modes. You don’t lose the autofocus functions or the camera’s exposure metering features. In the Manual mode, you have full control of shutter speeds and, of course, have the capability for manual focus. If you need to purchase lenses, Nikon’s AF “D” lenses allow you to use the N90 to its maximum capabilities. These lenses send information to the N90's microcomputer for the 3D Matrix Metering. Be sure you are using the AF “D” lens by looking for the letter “D” which will be after the aperture information.This Nikon F90x also has fantastic flash capabilities. Use the inexpensive SB-23 set to Program mode and know you get excellent results. Additionally, the camera is great at fill-in flash when shooting outdoors for exposure compensation. Slow-sync the flash to keep those indoor background details sharp. For natural looking blurs, use the rear-curtain flash. The Nikon N90s is synchronized with the flash up to 1/250 shutter speed, giving you lots of options even when using Manual mode. The autofocus tracks subjects even if they are moving away or towards you. The feature also monitors the speed of your subject and estimates where your subject actually is when you fire the shutter. In tracking mode, you can fire off a bunch of frames and be confident that they are razor-sharp. You have the option of setting the Nikon N90s for two or four frames per second. If there is a moving subject, set the camera to shoot, after pressing the shutter release, only when the subject is in focus.This SLR device takes 4 standard AA alkaline-manganese, NiCd, or high-performance manganese batteries. The camera has a battery strength checker, so you always know when it is time to swap them out.Product Identifiers

This is a Quality Camera That I Got for a Great Price!
This camera was great the first time I owned one. I bought this used one twenty years later for the nostalgia of it. I have long since gone digital. I stayed with Nikon because I was used to it. It has always treated me well. I even shot weddings with it. Film has a characteristic of all its own that I have been unable to recreate with digital cameras. I am under the impression that it cannot be done. I shoot almost exclusively digital these days because it is so much less expensive and I have total control over the editing. I edit extensively. It is my art in images.I reserve my film cameras for those rare occasions when I am going for that specific look and I take much longer before I snap each shot. Anyways, the N90 stands up to everything I can throw at it. It has always treated me well and I am surprised that they haven't held their resale value any better than they have. They are well worth the investment.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Well made feature rich camera
The good: Heavy duty, well made camera. Well designed with most used features easily accessible. Most Nikon lenses are compatible with this camera. Very good auto exposure modes available. Large, bright viewfinder. The bad: Coating on back of camera becomes sticky with age. I was able to remove this with denatured alcohol and some rubbing. Non AI lenses are not compatible with this camera. If you are looking for a small, light weight camera, this one is not for you!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A great 1990s pro film SLR
This camera has the pro-level build quality associated with Nikon's F series, but is not so big or heavy. Its motor drive is suitably fast, but it doesn't matter, as no one uses film for fast sports any more. The ergonomics are better than the F4's for small or medium sized hands. The camera is rubber-wrapped metal alloy; it is much more solid than lesser cameras, such as the N65, N80, etc. It doesn't have a physical control for every feature, like the F4 and previous pro cameras, but the menu system is only one layer deep: For example, to change the mode, press hold down the MODE button with the left hand, then turn the click dial with the right hand while watching the LCD. This allows the N90s' body to be clean and uncluttered due to the lack of switches, but yet to not have a complex menu system at the same time. I like shooting with my manually-wound, manually-focused cameras, but I'm amazed at how much quicker I can make a nice photo with this one. If you like 35 mm film, but don't want to have the family waiting for you when you're out with them, this is a fine choice.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A piece of photography history
Actually, it is a Kodak NC2000e. It was part of the first digital cameras in the market (1994). The NC abbreviation is often referred to as News Camera. Kodak collaborated with the Associated Press to create a digital SLR that met the needs of photojournalists. Based on a Nikon N90 body, the 1.3-megapixel camera had removable memory cards and enough sensitivity (ISO 1600!) to shoot in available light. The Vancouver Sun became the world’s first newspaper to convert to all-digital photography with theses cameras. Original price: $17,950, but discounted to $16,950 for AP members.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Fine
Reached within the time limit. Packing for 5+. A concomitant I would say not 5 but 4+. There are batteries inside, the filter on the lens is very cool. Technically everything works. The back cover is not tested. Lens and filter were in the sand or dust, had to be cleaned. And somehow he came with on! Funny. In any case, all good, foto cool.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Modern features, modern styling, good old 35mm film
Spend about an hour to familiarize with the camera before burning some exposures. The nicest part of this camera is that modern Nikon lenses work with it, so you can go out and buy a new lens, or any used lens, either way there's a lot of possibilities on pairings for this camera. Bonus: It takes 4 AA batteries, no need to find a specialty batteryVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great camera.
I really like this camera. It's very solid built. It's very intuitive to use. I can use my old Nikon lenses on it and the meter works well. I'm really enjoying shooting with this camera.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Most advanced Nikon SLR, 1994
At today's prices, this camera is top of the line good deal for anyone who uses film cameras with Nikon lenses, INCLUDING manual focusing lenses. Not sure if G AF lenses will work, but D lenses will; and older TTL flashes, such as SB-15 and SB-16B will work wonderfully. Auto focus is fast and accurate, viewfinder info is more than enough, giving in between shutter speed info. Body is similar to the N90 and the N8008/N8008s.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Buy it!
These were professional slr's in their time. They sold for over $1000. They can do just about anything you would want to do, and for the price they are going for... just buy it! You can search the Nikon F90X or N90S and read about all of it's great features. They are a very nice camera, the only drawback with them is the rubberized coating that they put on the back covers, they tend to get a bit tacky to the feel, but that is a small thing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The Nikon N90s: The King of 35 mm SLR's
This is one chunk of a camera. It could double as a lethal weapon, or drive nails into wood. It is one tank of a camera. It has all the features you'd expect from Nikon's high end of cameras, and operates on 4 AA batteries. It is heavy. It isn't my go-to camera. For that I highly recommend the N80 and the 28-80 Nikkor G lens. The N90s is designed for heavy use in situations where it's massive weight isn't going to be an issue. It only has one sensor,but it's one hell of a sensor. The focus is fast and relatively quiet. It is a D lens camera, so G's only work in the P and S modes. It was prefered by professionals to the F3 because of it's fast focus and rugged build. The spot metering feature added to the N90 in 1994 made the N90s a better camera for the $1000 that they used to sell for. It's push button lay-out is similar to the other Nikon's of the early to mid-90's like my N6006, another tank of a camera. The only other post-1998 Nikon of similar build, but with the newer dial display, is the N60/N65, another of my Nikon favorites. The N60, N75, and N90s do not have remote shutter release entries on the shutter release. The N60 lacks this feature entirely. The N90s seems to require a special chord, although I haven't had time to figure it out yet. This is where the N80 comes in as my favorite Nikon. The N90s is the King, but it's a constitutional monarchy and the N80 is the Prime Minister. The N90s requires a speed light. The SB15 was recommended by the previous owner. The N80, N75, N60 and N6006 all have pop up speed lights that work amazingly well for what they are. However, both the N80 and especially the N75 are very light, plastic, cameras that will break very easily. The N90s is a tank. It's quality of materials and construction is unmatched. With the N100 still being a $150 used camera. There is no better deal for a top of the line Nikon than the N90s which can be had for under $50. The timer has allowed be to use my 300 mm lens and a tripod for test shots, but I'm sure there is a remote shutter release. The N80 is my go-to camera for general use, and the N60 was my back-up, and for double lens, or film. Now that will be the role of the N90s. It's bulk and sterdy build makes it a camera you have to own. It's a very impressive camera.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
