Menus
 |
Unsurprisingly the D90's menus have been updated to match the other cameras in Nikon's current range. Although you don't get the almost limitless customization offered by the professional cameras you do get a lot more than the D60. The attractively designed menus make full use of the high resolution screen and are navigated using the multi-way controller and OK button. You can also configure the command dials to provide menu navigation.

Help pages
In common with all current Nikon DLSRs the D90 has the useful help feature we first saw on the D2X - there are now help pages for virtually every function and menu on the camera - just press the Lock/? button to view.
