As it mention in the title, is it still worth it?
I got an offer for the D90, with 2 lenses, Nikor 50mm 1.8/Tamron 18-200, with nikon camera bag plus battery charger.
All of it for $450.
Is it a no or a go?
Shutter count is 36K
Best regards,
Karl

The biggest issue I had was it doesn't have AF fine tune. If your using a kit lens for snap shots of family or maybe some landscapes, I wouldn't hesitate to get a D90 if I found a good price. If you're into using fast lenses wide-open, I would look for a body that had the fine-tune feature; although, I think you might be able to send gear to Nikon for adjustments. My main gig is portraits and events where I'm shooting at F2.8, F2 or even wider all the time. Without AF fine-tune, I would get a lot of "soft" eyes in my pics. That doesn't fly for paid gigs.
