Nikon D5000 user reviews Date: 2009-04-29 - 21:04:32 Author: Jane Rating:    this is the camera i would like to have Date: 2009-08-17 - 10:23:55 Author: Peter Bendheim Rating:    Amazingly good camera The D5000 is an amazingly good camera and will make an ideal travel companion with its protective fold away LCD. I've had every Nikon DSLR at one or other point (with the exception of the D3/x) and the IQ (not the body) of the D5000 is easily as good if not better than say the now old pro D2x..but without the ultra rugged build quality and ergonomics...at a fraction of the price. How cameras have improved in the last few years!.....the D2x could only really do up to ISO 800..now I can emulate the D2x look in Nikon Capture NX2 with raw files, shoot at high ISO's, get almost the same frame rate, etc when I don't feel like lugging the D700 around for travel shots. It's low light ISO performance is great, feels good in the hand, small, well made and adequate for most general photography that isn't in a battlefield or tropical monsoon. Problems A lens motor would have been nice but I can live without it. Exposure outdoors generally needs about a plus one third EV compensation, indoors I find myself adding a lot of positive compensation...but this may be my meter. The new high res LCD would have been nice but you can't expect it at this price point. Nothing to really complain about....other than a wish list which the D90 at a higher price point offers. So to complain is not valid when these features can be had on another model. Great camera. I don't care for video and haven't tried it, so I cannot comment.

Shots that are impossible for a point and shoot and very difficult with my D70 were nearly effortless with the D5000. The flip-out screen is a pointless feature, especially since you will rely so heavily on the screen for changing settings as you shoot. Video capabilities may not be all that, but it sure is nice to be able to grab a quick clip on the go. With that in mind, HD is overkill. Viewfinder is perhaps a bit small, but nothing I can't get used to.
