Canon EOS 90D With 18-135 IS USM Lens

Excellent camera, the auto focus is fantastic. Manual mode is really easy to use (I have past DSLR experience). The 90D is light, compact, and a lot of fun to take pictures with. Best quality pics I’ve been able to take.

I haven’t tried the video mode for more than 10 minutes. Looks good, but definitely use a reliable tripod. Or some sort of gimble. The lense I used was an older one with no stabilization. I also didn’t use all of the video settings im the menu. I’m still learning.

Overall, an expensive worthwhile purchase. The lense that comes in this kit is really really good too.

The kitty pic is the first picture I took with the Canon 90D.

I bought this camera with the intention of learning the world of photography. This is a very easy camera to use. As someone who has just joined the world of photography, having to only push one button and the camera focuses make it very easy for anyone to pick up! I would recommend turning of the auto focus from the shutter button (the one that takes the picture) and just use the button on the back of the camera where the right thumb rests. I found the camera wanting to make sure it is focused before taking a picture a little annoying when capturing moments that are temporary. Changing this allows me to decide when it is focus. All of this is when in auto-focus mode, of course.

I bought this camera more for still photography than video, and for the resolution and ISO upgrades, over my old 7d, which I have really liked for years. With the increased resolution, I especially like the performance with my 100-400 f4.5-5.6L IS II and my 70-200 f2.8L IS, as well as my other lenses, such as the 18-135 USM that I bought to use as a general walk-around lens. I use the fold-out, live viewing screen with smaller zooms, but also with my faster fixed lenses; which makes street photography much more versatile. I recall photographing the Cuna Indians in Panama in the late 60s. At that time they believed that the camera would steal their soul, so the would turn away or cover their faces. Sneaky me, I would set the mechanical timers on my Pentax Spotmatics, which were totally manual SLRs, and secretly shoot photos while the cameras with fast fixed lenses hung from my neck, while my hands were obviously nowhere near the camera. Click! Got it. Hah! So now I am adding the 90d’s fold-out optical live view screen, in order hold the camera away from my face, and this photographer seems more innocuous. Of course there’s more….such as video, which will eventually get around to using… More, also, since I still haven’t had this little gem that long.

Looking back at the progress both of SLR and DSLR cameras; Film cameras, then earlier digitals, both full frame 5d series and the APSC 7d and 7d MKII. I am comparing some of my previous film cameras and their capabilities and versatility – and the resulting images – comparing with the Canon A2, and the A1, and the earlier Pentax Spotmatics I’ve had. Viewing comparatively, it’s easy to see that the 90d is not a toy.

Yep, this 90d is is not full frame, but so what? Looking at the results vs the price, comparing those facets with previous film cameras and full size sensor digitals. The 90d is not overly expensive, and some people scoff at what they’re calling non-professional. But in my case, with multiple decades of experience, it does produce professional results.
I have photo-gadget freak and pretentious wanna-be friends who’ve dumped multiple tens of thousands of $$ into their photography pass times, calling themselves professional this or that, bragging about top of the line this or that computer or photo equipment, much of which changes with the edition of each of the next new releases. Yet 98.5% of them have never made enough income with their “art” to even pay for a fraction of their photo and computer equipment.
Yeah, the proof is in the taste of the pudding.
As always, we need to see the finished products and those which is good enough to be hanging on any wall,
anywhere, and whether observers stop long enough to give it a good look, let alone even study it.
All of that, in defense of an inexpensive DSLR camera which does pretty well, and can & does yield “professional,”
not merely trivialized “enthusiast” results.

Gripes would be:
1) That this 90d would be nice – for my own taste – if it were to be encased in a heavier, titanium alloy body, such as those that people refer to as more of a professional camera, like the 7d, versus an “enthusiast” camera, because of the weather proofing, etc. I would actually prefer a Mark III, in the 7d line, which I was waiting for, but apparently the 90d is IT; no more of the Canon 7d line. So I bought one and am satisfied with its performance.

2) The little whiz wheel in back, seems a bit small. But, that does also have a fast forward and back button in the middle of it.

3) And, whatever Gordon Laing has come up with; among all of the pros and cons of his thorough and snappy 90d review on YouTube.

 Got this for my husband for Christmas last year. The price is much cheaper on amazon than any other website. It is sturdy and takes good pictures.

A heavy camera … reminds me of my old A-1 from decades ago. Solid. Full of possibilities and takes photos that are stunning. Plenty of resolution that actually adds to the quality of the photographs. Camera gives you full auto to complete control over what you’re doing. The non-auto stuff is not for the faint hearted so be ready to experiment, experiment, experiment. But since it’s just digital media … you’re not paying to develop film! A wonderful photographic experience.

Felizmente llegó a mis manos la cámara Canon Reflex 90-d conservando la afamada tecnología de las cámaras de antaño en donde tomar fotografías nocturnas no representa ningún problema cómo sucede con el obscurecimiento de los visores electrónicos qué en muy bajos niveles de iluminación simplemente no funcionan, no sé puede tomar fotografías y mucho menos videos en esas condiciones apenas perceptibles de iluminación, enorme ventaja de las cámaras reflex digitales. El menú de configuración de la excelente pantalla lcd de 3″ pulgadas es fácil de configurar con las opciones qué verdaderamente son necesarias y no enloquecen al usuario con menús repletos de opciones en donde muchas de éstas sólo provocan un desgaste importante de la pila y realmente no sé necesitan. La cámara viene equipada con un obturador electrónico con velocidades de 30 segundos a 1/4000 milesimo de segundo y capaz de poder tomar 10 fotogramas en un segundo. El nuevo sensor cmos aps-c de 21 megapixeles de resolucion es capaz de producir imágenes y vídeos de la más alta calidad y definición. El sistema de enfoqué configurado con varios elementos en cruz, es virtualmente infalible y extremadamente rápido, el mejor qué he visto de todas las cámaras en el mercado, prácticamente no sé desenfoca con nada. En la parte de arriba del lado derecho del visor, existe una pequeña pantalla de información con luz la cuál muestra los diferentes ajustes al oprimir los botones ubicados muy cerca de dicha pantalla, los más importantes para una configuración instantánea, modo de enfoque puntual o segmentado, ajuste inmediato del asa, manejo del modo de disparo puntual o en ráfaga, la medición del exposimetro en varias modalidades desde puntual hasta muy amplia y sí omití alguna función ofrezco disculpas. En conclusión aunque faltó citar otras ventajas, por el precio qué usted paga incluyendo el lente 18-105, no encontrará en el mercado una mejor opción. Ampliamente la recomiendo.
