D90 VS PSE6 VS SD 4GB SDHC Cards

<p>I'm sure most are ahead of me here but I have encountered a couple of glitches in getting up and running with my new D90.<br>

First Adobe PSE6 would not open D90 NEF's. But there is an Adobe Camera Raw 5.3 update for PSE7 that will work with PSE6. Read the upgrade directions very carefully though. The process is not straightforward. But problem solved.<br>

Second I bought a couple of 4GB SanDisk SDHC Ultra II SD cards. They work beautifully in the D90 but, alas, my several year old HP desktop with internal card reader will not read them. I don't know whether the problem is the card size or the SDHC function. The D90 manual highlights this as a potential problem. Luckily I have a more modern external USB card reader for our laptop that does read the cards so, again, problem solved withsome inconvenience until I upgrade to a better desktop. I've been looking for an excuse and this may be it.<br>

Otherwise all is well with the D90. I continue to be amazed at the resolution. I really didn't expect the increase from 6 to 12 MP tp make as much difference as it seems to. The attached image is one I took last night and a X8 zoom of a portion. Great stuff, in my opinion, to be able magnify X8 with no evidence of pixalization.</p>

<p>The D90 is a terrific camera-I got mine last fall and love it. The camera came out after PSE6 so an update was needed as you have seen-I went through the same thing. You have in fact discovered why your desktop reader won't take the SDHC card-it can't accept the new technology but your newer card reader will-none of these things are the camera's fault; it's newer technology versus older technology. Happy Shooting! cb :-)</p>

<p>I had the same problem with the card reader on my Dell XPS410 lacking compatibility with the newer SDHC cards. Fortunately, I was able to download a new release of the software that supports these type of cards.<br>

The reader on my Dell was a TEAC card reader. You may be able to find an update for your reader, give it a try.</p>

<p>I currently have a D80 and really like the improvements of the D90 but just can't justify outlaying that much money, seeing as I am only an amateur and shoot for fun.<br>

I'd love to write it off to my business but I don't think an automotive shop really has the need for a D90. I guess I need to talk to my accountant - LOL.</p>

<p>Matter of fact. . .You CAN write off a camera for an automotive shop. Same as doctor who takes "before" and "after" photos of patients. . .And, your clients' vehicles are your "patients." Trust me. . The IRS will buy it IF you are NOT a smartass or try to get greedy! <br>

The IRS "bought" my FTN; my F3; my F100; my N90; my F4S and myriad lenses! (NOT all at the same time but over a period of about 40 years). . .Several times I was audited and arrived at the IRS agent's office prepared for the question: "What camera do you use to take photos of your kids' birthday parties?" "Sir, I use THIS camera!" And, produced a Brownie Instamatic. And, later, when digital came in, a $39 Polaroid. Both the Polaroid and the Instamatic have honoured places on the mantle over the fireplace! [My accountant was impressed with my creativity]</p>
