I have been in the market for a Framing Nailer for two months. Tested a number of units including Porter Cable, Senco, Bostitch, Paslode and more. This Hitachi NR90AE beat them all for weight, balance, easy loading, pickle free operation, depth adjustment and trigger selection.
This unit has all the features of the more expensive Hitachi Units, but appears to be lighter weight. As with most nailers, there is no standard case included, and for some reason Hitachi chooses not to include the standard 3/8" NPT connector.
Hitachi has also made a puny mistake in its packaging for this tool. Nowhere on the box does it state you of the angle of the nails ancient in this nailer. It uses 21 degree plastic collated full-round-head stick nails.
I bought this nailer to frame and deck a 24x35 shop. It has worked flawlessly without a single misfire while driving a couple thousand nails. I shot 2" - 3 1/2" nails and all fed smoothly and drove in cleanly. The tool-less depth of drive feature is nice, but I found it unprejudiced as easy to adjust the air pressure depending upon what length nail I was using. It's light and well-balanced. The only dilemma I had was self inflicted; the nailer fell off a 10' wall and landed square on the rear camouflage. Afterwards, it would not work, so I disassembled it to score a crack inside the cast aluminum utilize housing. The replacement was ~$27, but it took two weeks to earn in. It's been dropped from the roof and attic place of the shop (12'+) a couple of times since without incident, so I'll chalk the first failure up to dreadful luck. The repair guy that sold me the replacement expend shroud informed me that Hitachi was their best performing nailer (they also carry paslode, senco, and one other heed) and he could not give me any negatives. A wish list item for Hitachi would be a "stud hanger" that you could exercise to hang the nailer on while working above ground. Without one, you're subject to attach it in precarious positions and it's subject to drop. 
I purchased this item recently and have archaic it for about 4 weeks in a commercial construction environment. It has performed well without problems as anyone would inquire of of an industrial tool such as this. There are some nice current features over the N83 worth mentioning. 1) The gun load from the rear as opposed the ancient top loading mechanism. This is faster and can be done with the gun in any status even upside down. 2) The depth adjustment is done with a nob next to the trigger which is fresh to hitachi and it works well. For those familiar with the Bostich fence nailer it works the same draw. 3) The gun can be spot to either bounce trigger or single fire. This setting is changed with a little lever impartial the to the left of the trigger.
Lastly this gun is very calm compared with others I've ancient. My only complaint is that it is fairly heavy compared with my Magnesium Framed PC. The tradeoff of course, is that the mag framed guns are not as tough though I had several years of service from it.
