To be fair, CA has nothing to do with the body and everything to do with the lens. The T2i ships with a pretty garbage lens, but the price difference between a T2i body alone and a D90 with kit lens is a couple hundred dollars; enough to get a decent midrange lens for the T2i.D90 seemed noticeably better at two things that I'm a stickler about -- low light performance and chromatic aberrations
Not really. They "clearly" sandwich cameras neatly between each other for pretty much every camera except the D3X/1DsIII, D3s/1DIV and D300s/7D. There are really no direct competators below $1700.The D90 is Nikon's top consumer-class d-slr camera, the fourth model up from the bottom on the Nikon USA web site. The Canon T2i is also the fourth model up from the bottom on the Canon USA web site, and as such is Canon's top consumer class d-slr. The D90 is not a competitor for the Canon 50D--the 50D was Canon's answer to the Nikon D300 for the last two years. For the last two years, the Canon 50D has been/was/is in competition with the Nikon D300 until Canon finally released the 7D so that they were more-competitive in the semi-pro body segment. The Nikon D90 is **clearly** not a semi-pro body like the Canon 50D or the Nikon D300.

Also, both high ISO noise and CA are processed heavily within the camera itself. If you don't run through any post software, this may be convenient. I personally would rather have the control to deal with them myself; especially with regards to noise. Nikon images tend to be softer at high ISO because of the large amount of luminance noise reduction built-in. But its nice if you don't PP your images.
I think it has to do with the nearly identical price. Currently, the D90 is about $780 and the T2i is about $800 (both body only).That being said, I still don't know why these two cameras are so constantly compared...
Are you a Nikon plant? :lmao:I'm a newcomer to DSLR photography, but I have alot of friends who are really into this and give me really good tips.
So, I decided to buy my first SLR and it was between these two cameras: the d90 and t2i. I first picked up the d90, and it felt like a great camera. It took awesome pictures right out of the box with the 18-55mm lens. But, after a few days of reading more online, I felt that perhaps I made the wrong choice and should have gone for the t2i because of certain specs, the video, the lightness and the Q-mode looked easier to use.
I returned the d90 and asked for the t2i (very nice service rep). Anyways, after 2 days of playing with the t2i, I couldn't take it anymore. Honestly, it was the most terrible experience ever. The only advantage it had over the d90 is the video, but it saves those as quicktime files, and I had to install quicktime to even play them.
The whole t2i camera felt so cheap. Even the strap felt way cheaper than Nikons. All the buttons and dials were stiff and uncomfortable. And, the shutter makes the annoying noise ever (a high pitched sqweek, SUPER annoying). The sounds it makes when focusing sounds both cheap and annoying. There's alot of other small details that I could mention too.
I liked the proximity sensor for the screen (it automatically turns off when your face is near, and back on when it's away), and the menu's were less cluttered, but I felt the photos it took weren't as good as the ones with the d90 even after tweaking the white balance settings and the color settings (everything was too white previously). The d90's pictures were much more appealing to me.
Finally, I returned the t2i, and luckily was able to ask for the d90 I returned back. Could not be happier with the d90 now.
Just my 2 cents.
