Useful scene modes and shooting hints, excellent Live View implementation, comfortable to use, fast shot-to-shot and burst mode performance
No dedicated aperture dial, no shortcut for ISO setting, videos were jumpy Min specs: 12.3Mp; 2.7in LCD screen size; Video capture; Aspect Ratio: 16:09; Interchangeable Lens; Aperture Priority; Flash Functions: Auto Flash, Fill-in Flash, Flash Off, Red-ey...
The heart and soul of the Nikon D5000 is the D300, a semi-pro snapper that launched two years at over twice this price with the same 12MP chip but without the D5000’s lush 720p video capture. Sure, Nikon has dialled down the LCD quality and burst sp...
We love the folding LCD for getting snaps of dogs’ bottoms but you might hate it for the same reason (or because it’s a bit low-res, grainy and glary in bright light). Oh, and the autofocus doesn’t work while you’re shooting a movi...
You can trust Nikon’s cameras for one big reason: it doesn’t do anything else. Without camcorder, TV or mobile phone businesses to distract it, Nikon concentrates on churning out well-designed, well-made cameras that are all about image qualit...

Excellent still photos; high-definition video handy folding screen
Kit lens is disappointing; no auto-focus in video mode
The Nikon D5000 is an impressive camera that falls between two stools in terms of its price Good points Excellent still photos; high-definition video handy folding screen Bad points Kit lens is disappointing; no auto-focus in video mode ...
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...
