Nikon D90 Falldog !2qYdimqiHs
I picked up the Nikon D90 yesterday. Today I took around the National Cathedral in Washington DC. I'm still working through all the features and trying to see what works best.

I've found, for reasons I'm currently unsure of, that the noise was pretty high during indoor shots despite having ISO 200, same as some of the shots outside that are really clean.

Also, I think many of the shots with my 50mm turned out blurry, either because there's something wrong with the focus or I'm just moving around more than I think I am.

You can view the pictures from the Cathedral here http://www.flickr.com/photos/mt_falldog/sets/72157607775272687/

Anyhow, this thread should be less about my shitty photos, and more about the D90. If you have any questions I'll be happy to answer/do my best to do so.

I also took a few movies, mainly to see how good the sound quality was...

Medium format, not as great as I was expecting. I'll play around with the larger size tomorrow.

Also, I fucking love hot pixels right off the bat. Not sure if I should return it or see if it passes.

Those aren't hot pixels. It's noise. Your images are underexposed.

Same place nearly every shot

Bump for advice on hot pixel. I'm back to contemplating returning it and getting a D300 instead :(

?? Hot pixels are irrelevant. They don't show in photos, besides no one cares.

Noise is probably because of ADR. Photos are probably blurry if you are using f1.8 and don't know what depth of field means.

It's good to use at least 1/90 when shooting with 50mm.

D300 > D90.

Also, every camera has probably hundreds or thousands of dead pixels. They are mapped out with software before sending the cameras out of factory.

If a couple (partially broken for example) pixels break after a consumer has bought the product, it's no wonder.

I rather hope they wouldn't pop up until later in it's lifespan, certainly at not at such a low ISO.

It's a shame NIkon doesn't offer remapping features that allow the consumer to do it on their own.

Ok then genius, how is the D90 an 'upgrade' on the D300? Don't say video

Are dead/hot pixels really so prolific? I see odd hotspots sometimes in dark areas at high ISOs on my cameras, but not "hundred or thousands". Usually I won't see a single pixel doing anything odd when pixel peeping.

Not really. The problem is that I'm not shooting at 200 or 400 and it shows up. It's a nice bright red which doesn't help either. I noticed the one on mine while just casually browsing my shots.

They're not hot pixels. Overexpose a picture and I guarantee all of your pixels will be white.

Off topic wise, might sell my D300s.
