The Innovative Nikon D5000 - A Review

By mayavfx on Monday, July 11, 2011 with

One of the main reasons the D5000 from Nikon is creating such a stir is because of the variable angle monitor that can sway out to a 90 degrees and can rotate up to 180 degrees. Since the monitor does flip out it is one of the highest rated SLR models on the market. This Nikon digital camera model also has a dust reduction function which makes it great for all different types of settings and locations. Plus, you can choose to shoot your images in either landscape or portrait mode and your colors will come out amazing every time. The pop up flash has to be one of the most talked about features though. Whether people think it's "cute" or that it allows for a better image in any lighting it gets plenty of attention on its own.

The D5000 is a much smaller digital camera from Nikon as well which makes it perfect for compact ability. The model is also very light weight so you can take it on hikes, trips, and even just out and about with friends and family and not feel like your toting something heavy around. When it comes to the camera as a whole it can almost be compared to the Nikon D90 just in a much smaller unit, if you are familiar with the Nikon SLR models. However, this model is much less expensive than the D90 is but you get most of the same features.

The Live View setting on this model is actually pretty great too because it acts kind of like a guide in showing you how your photos will look when applied to different shooting functions you can pick. However if you are in the Live View mode then you may experience some lagging with the auto focus.

Now that you have ready most of the good, now you want to know what are the downfalls right? Any digital camera out there is going to have some type of con listed by customer reviews compared to another model. Since not all cameras are made the same you have to keep that in mind. The D5000 does not give you a lot of options when it comes to setting controls either and there is only one function button that you can program in.

A lot of consumers use this model as an upgrade from their standard digital cameras and it can be a huge step up from that. When you want to find out if this Nikon D5000 is for you then check out some online ratings and reviews made by customers who have purchased it. They often break it down into pros and cons and then that could make it easier for you decide whether or not to purchase this model or not. If not, Nikon has plenty more SLR digital cameras for you to browse through until you find the perfect digital camera for your needs and also your budget too.
