Interval timer shooting option for Nikon D90

Dear Nikon,

After reading the preview of the Nikon D90 on dpreview.com it seemed that it included an interval timer shooting option (as seen on the D300 and upwards). I was most disappointed to find that this was not the case when I tested the D90 in a shop today. Is it possible that this could be added as a firmware update in the future? Surely it is not so difficult to implement.

Kind regards,
P. K.

I would be very (!) much interested in a possibility to do interval shooting with my D90. Is it possible that this function will be included in a firmware update?

This would be a great addition to what is already a fantastic camera. I'm really stunned it isn't already included.

yes please add the interval shooting option to the D90. I was under the impression it had it when I bought the camera and was disappointed to see it had been removed probably for marketing strategy reasons.

I contacted Nikon via email and was informed that there are no announced plans either for interval shooting or for an external intervalometer attachment like they sell for other cameras.

So, I have just ordered the PClix intervalometer and a cord to connect it to the D90. This is the only option I have found to do interval shooting with this camera, much to my disappointment.

i could gather two options..

1. with Mac (OSX leopard): create a workflow using "Automator" with three tasks: Take picture, pause , loop

2. without Mac: lots of remote timers available on ebay for around $45 (They have limitation of 399 pics though)

Can they actually do a firmware update to add this feature? As I thought this was an actual electronic addition.

i am disapointed too, I was already planning a project assuming interval shooting was an option on my D90.

and now i find there is none, and Nikon does not sell a compatible remote to do this, now looking for X brand remotes on ebay 'sigh'

gimme a firmware update please!
