It only took me about 6 months to max out a D90, and so some things had to change.I have the D90 and LOVE it. I wouldn't change it for anything. I'm still learning new things on it after having it for almost 2 years. It's a good buy, I think you'll love it too OP!
First, of the 11 auto focus points the D90 has (MultiCAM 1000 auto focus module), only 1 of them (the center one) is a cross-type focus point. Second, I got tired of having to lower the camera from my eye to dive into the menus to change a setting.
To solve the first issue I got a D300 because it (and all of Nikon's prosumer and pro cameras) has the MultiCAM 3500DX auto focus module - 51 auto focus points, 15 of them being cross-type focus points. To solve the second, most settings can be changed by using a button/switch on the outside of the camera (and all of Nikon's prosumer and pro cameras have the same button/switch layout) so you can change settings by feel and looking in the viewfinder as the settings change . Plus you get a 10-pin connector, a PC port, a higher FPS rate, 3 times as many AEB brackets, blah, blah, blah, by moving up the the D300/D300s and above.
