    Optimizes the camera's technologies for superior performance and maximum image quality.
  • 7.5 cm (3-in.), 921k-dot vari-angle LCD monitor with wide viewing angle
    Lets you capture unique shots from any angle. Boasts a side opening mechanism that makes it easy to shoot self-portraits or use a tripod.
  • D-Movie - full HD (1080p) movie clips
    A dedicated movie-record button right next to the shutter-release makes it easy to keep the camera steady when you switch between recording stills and movies. AF-F mode keeps everything in focus, and the camera's vari-angle monitor and Special Effects mode enable unique shots. The camera supports use of an external microphone and offers 30p, 25p and 24p frame rates.
  • Live View with Scene Auto Selector
    Makes it easy to compose images using the vari-angle LCD monitor. Scene Auto Selector will select the best mode for the scene and subject you want to capture. Boasts easily selectable AF modes, including Face Priority AF that detects and tracks faces within the frame.

    Scene Modes automatically adjust camera settings, including Picture Controls and active D-Lighting, to take the guesswork out of tricky photo situations and deliver optimal results. Simply turn the mode dial to SCENE to access the most commonly used modes. Sample photos appear on the display to help you select the right mode.
  • HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging
    Delivers exquisitely detailed shots of high-contrast scenes. Takes two shots within a single shutter release to create an image with an extremely wide dynamic range, low noise and rich color gradation.

Nikon D5000 Camera

Review For: Nikon D5000 12.3 MP Digital SLR Camera - Black (Body Only)

I decided to upgrade from my Nikon D50 because of the many features offered by the D5000 compared to the D50, which has been a wonderful camera during the three years I have owned it.Moving up to 12 megapixels from 6 megapixels was the main reason but I could not afford to move up to the D90. Then I saw the newly released D5000 with many of the same features as the D90 for almost half the price.I decided to give it a try.I could not be happier with my decision.I don't know what more you could want from a camera than the ability to go from taking photos at 4 frames per second if you desire, and have each one perfectly exposed and sharp, or decide on the spot to shoot HD quality video by pushing 2 buttons, again perfectly exposed with sound!This D5000 also offers so much more by way of the many different choices from shooting landscape pictures,sunset,portrait,sport​s.etc.All of these choices can be changed in seconds after just a short time with the camera.And last but not least is the incredibley sharp 2.7" swivel monitor which can be used in many different shooting and viewing scenarios.I have really only scratched the surface of the picture taking possibilitys of this camera whether you are choosing your first digital camera or your 5th,( this is my 5th ) amatuer or professional,the D5000 will put a smile on your face when you see the photos or the videos you have taken.And it is easy and fun to use! Needless to say I am extremely happy to have chosen this camera even though the D90 may offer a few more features but certainly not enough to make me say I wish I had purchased it instead of the D5000. Again, I just don't know what more the average photographer would want in a camera, especially for the price.
