    SD/SDHC slot The D90 accepts SD/SDHC cards in its single card slot. The company has worked with two memory card suppliers - SanDisk and Eye-Fi - to weave into the camera extra performance or functionality when certain cards are used.
    SanDisk SanDisk today has revved its Extreme III SDHC 4GB and 8GB cards to a speed rating of 30MB/second, from 20MB/second previously.

    In all current SDHC-compatible cameras and card readers, the new Extreme III 30MB/s Edition SDHC cards will operate like the previous 20MB/second versions, because that's effectively the limit of the SD/SDHC specification currently. They've also introduced a 16GB SDHC card to Extreme III, and it too is part of the 30MB/s Edition line.

    The D90, along with SanDisk's upcoming ImageMate Multi-Card USB 2.0 Reader/Writer, has been designed to utilize an additional mode unique to these new SanDisk memory cards, a mode that ups the speed rating to the SanDisk-specified 30MB/second level. Manufacturer speed ratings are at best only a rough guide to actual in-camera performance, but at minimum it looks like SanDisk, by working directly with Nikon on the development of the D90's memory card support, may have ensured they're Extreme III 30MB/s Edition SDHC cards are the quickest in Nikon's newest digital SLR.

    Eye-Fi The D90 will detect when an Eye-Fi memory/wireless Wi-Fi transmitter SD card is inserted and make visible an Eye-Fi menu on the rear LCD. From this menu the card's wireless function can be turned on and off, so as to enable when Wi-Fi is active and photos are transmitted.
    Connection options The D90 has USB 2.0, DC input (for use with the Nikon EH-5a AC adapter), GPS, HDMI (Type C) and analog audio/video ports.

    The camera is compatible with the new Nikon GPS Unit GP-1, a compact GPS receiver designed to slip into the camera's hot shoe and attach via an included cable to the D90's dedicated GPS port. Also included will be a second cable for hooking up the device to the 10-pin remote port of other GPS-capable Nikon digital SLRs.

    With the GP-1 attached, GPS time, latitude, longitude and altitude data will be inserted into the associated photo's EXIF metadata.

    • Hey JSK, have you used an Eye-Fi? How do you find the speed on it, if you have?
