Have to use a seperate recording device, I've heard mention of one many times on this forum alone but can't remember the name..
Basically when you shoot with D90 it's like shooting on film gotta sync the sound up, lots of fun.

Zoom H2 and H4 are both being used alot. Olympus has a small recorder as well although it doesnt seem that alot of people are using it. I've got a Tascam HDP2 that works great but its probably overkill for most d90 sized projects.

This topic has been discussed a fair bit in the past on this forum. A quick search would pull up several different threads. Personally, I use a Roland Edirol to record WAV files, then use the D90 mono track as a sync reference in Adobe Premiere Pro. I don't bother syncing the sound until after I've done a preliminary review of the D90 files- that way I don't waste my time syncing files that I'm not going to use.
I recently stumbled upon a far easier method for calibrating the separate Nikon & Edirol tracks: the Edirol will name files according to the time that the recording was begun, say "164303," (as in: 16:43 and 03 seconds). However I've had difficulty seeing the time that a D90 AVI file was created, and if the internal clock gets reset to 1/1/2000, then you're screwed. So now I start the Edirol recording first, turn on the Nikon, then verbally announce the file name displayed on the Edirol:
"This is fisheye take number four at sixteen forty three oh three. Sixteen forty three oh three."
Nothing like a little education at the School of Hard Knocks!

I've successfully synced sound using Apple's iMovie and also Adobe Premiere Elements. It's not as easy in iMovie, but it can be done. Adobe Premiere Elements is somewhere between iMovie & Premiere Pro in terms of cost & complexity. It was a good intro for me into nonliniear digital editing: when I upgraded to Premiere Pro, I wasn't intimidated.
