Digital camera reviews of Nikon D5000 12.3 MP DX Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Lens and 2.7-inch Vari-angle LCD
Digital camera Review: Cannot ask for a better first DSLR
Summary: 4 Stars
Waited a long time before buying this camera. Could not decide between D3000 and D5000. Happy that i went for D5000. Extremely cool camera for DSLR starters. lot to learn though. But the photo quality makes it all worth while. Only downside is its a little bulky to carry around....again this is my first DSLR so my comparison is to point and shoot. So far I am very happy about this.Digital camera Review: Compact, great feature set, great low light image capture, good video capture
Summary: 5 Stars
Perfect for the vacationer or hobbyist. The lack of an auto focus motor in the body is a non issue for most users. Video capture is good but it is not a replacement for a real HD video capture device. Image quality is superb, camera response time is excellent. If you are upgrading from a point and shoot you'll enjoy the vast improvements. I recently took this to Switzerland on vacation and shot over 2000 shots and was very happy with the outcome. On board image editing is handy and surprisingly useful. If you are looking for a compact feature rich SLR, this is it. The sensor/image processing package is superb and the compact body is about as pleasant as an SLR can be to handle.Digital camera Review: Could be Nikon's new cash cow

I was saving for the D90, when I saw what this gem could do. Well, alright, it cannot match up to the D90 in many aspects, but hey, its IQ is exactly the same as the more expensive camera's. I've given up the idea of getting a D90; instead, I'll purchase a 70-300mm lens with the money saved from buying the D5000. The sample images shown here from owners of this camera just go to show what a superb camera this is. Almost everyone will be wanting to own this camera soon. Just a little tinkering here and there by Nikon has produced a camera that wipes the whole Canon stable of the 1000D, 450D, 500D and 550D clean off the table. Canon wasted a lot of time increasing the pixel count of their cameras, and did not bother to address the perennial complaint about their cameras, viz: soft edged images. Nikon wins - yet again.Digital camera Review: D 5000
Summary: 4 Stars
Camera is ok, but find that the lens have a plastic bayonet mount, which in my case will not last to long due to weather conditions such as extreme cold where the plastic bayonet can easily break. Otherwise i give the camera a 4 star ratingDigital camera Review: D5000

For what it is, this has been an excellent camera. I'm coming over from film and this is my first foray into DSLR's, and this camera has done all I've asked it to do. The functions of this camera depend more on the capabilities of the user than the camera. I have used the kit lens from night shots to snow shots, used 2 of my old film lenses (the 50mm f1/8 is my favorite), and this camera has responded very well. If you want a pick up and take photos gem, buy a point and shoot. If you know how to use an SLR, this is great camera for the price lacking only in fps, some upper end functionality, and is in my opinion an excellent lower cost alternative to the D90.
