Abstract: Better late than never… Heres our little review of Nikons latest DSRL, the D5000. First of all Id like to stress Im not a professional camera man but rather a DSRL heavy user, so dont expect much from me. Ok? Another important point, this first Ni...
The Nikon D5000 is a successful crossbreed of the D90 and the D60. The new DSLR combines the imaging assembly, AF module, Live View and HD video recording capabilities of the former with the beginner-friendly infopanel-based operation of the latter, i...
Abstract: NIKONS D5000 DIGITAL SLR CAMERA EXPANDS POSSIBILITIES FOR PHOTO AND HD VIDEO CREATIVITY WITH D-MOVIE MODE, VARI-ANGLE LCD MONITOR AND 19 AUTOMATIC SCENE MODES MELVILLE, N.Y. (April 14, 2009) - Nikon Inc. today introduced the new D5000, a digital SLR c...
Abstract: Utvecklarna hos Nikon är modiga. D5000 är nämligen inget annat än en marginellt strippad version av D90. Det finns alltså en viss risk för att modellen kommer att äta av D90-kakan. På grund av valutaturbulensen så kostar båda kamerorna dessutom – när...
Image quality, movie quality, tilt turn and swivel LCD (for some shots), handling, ease of use, price
Small viewfinder, LCD resolution/colour rendition, size (for market), bottom hinged LCD easily impeded on a tripod
Nikon’s D5000 sits above the D60 but below the D90 in the Nikon DSLR range, with a feature set culled from the latter, but priced towards the former. It has a 12.3MP CMOS sensor and a new tilt, turn, swivel 2.7-inch LCD and HD movie capability and i...
Good exposure control; flip-out LCD is useful for low- and high-angle work; shoots video.
Handgrip is a little small; still no autofocus when shooting video.
The D5000 comes in at a lower price point and offers everything you’d expect in a modern DSLR, putting in a lot for the price you pay. I’m not too happy about the much-reduced grip and the fact you can’t easily flip the LCD to face forwa...
Excellent image quality, Good tonal response and dynamic range, Very impressive high ISO performance, Easy-to-use control system, Feels very fast and responsive in use, Twist and swivel screen useful for certain shooting types, Useful in-camera RAW proces...
Control system rather dependant on multiple button presses, Contrast detect AF so slow its useless for most types of photography (which is often the case on DSLRs), No built-in AF motor restricts lens choice (though most popular lenses do work), Default J...
The Nikon D5000 aims to be a lot of things to a lot of people - stepping in above the D60 as an offering designed to attract upgraders from older entry-level DSLRs, as well as lending a welcoming hand-up to DSLR ownership for compact camera users look...
Abstract: Mit der D5000 trennt sich Nikon von vertrauten Zahlenspielen: Zwischen D40 und D100 war bislang jede volle Zehnerstufe mit einem Nikon-Modell der Consumerklasse verbunden. D200 und D300 stehen für die Semiprofis mit Magnesiumgehäuse, während es bei de...
Abstract: The Nikon D5000 ($729.95 for body only) suffers from many of the same setbacks that the D90 experienced before it. The camera doesnt capture full HD video and its 1280 x 720 footage simply wont cut it in todays market. The rolling shutter issue does...
