Nikon D5000 Overview
This is our overview video here around the Nikon D5000 which is a 12 MegaPixel D-SLR camera. This camera was released in April of 2009. This camera stands between the D60 and D90 from Nikon and with the D5000 your getting the best of both worlds. The D5000 can record 720p HD movies and it features live view as well. Also this is the first D-SLR from Nikon to feature an articulated screen.
The Nikon D5000 is an excellent starter camera within the below $1,000 variety. It’s got the electronics from the a lot much more costly D90 but it’s far outstanding towards the older D60.
Nikon utilizes a CMOS sensor rather than the CCD it is been utilizing in its entry-level versions. This may be the exact same sensor that’s utilized within the a lot much more costly D90. It’s got a flip-down-and-swivel LCD which enables stowing the panel to avoid harm although in the exact same time permitting simple visibility regardless from the angle from the shot.
The auto-focus program may be the exact same 11-point AF program as within the D90 having a newer edition from the Expeed picture processor (consists of the Car Active D-Lighting and face-priority AF, plus enhanced Reside Look at AF) together having a GP-1 hot shoe GPS. It may also upload more than wireless using the Eye-Fi card.
The D5000 is obtainable in two configurations in the factory: entire body only along with a package having a 18-55mm lens. This may be the exact same lens that ships using the D60 package. The D90 package comes having a a lot much better lens, but that is 1 from the factors for that cost differential.
For any “low-end” camera, it certain feels solid to hold, and it’s got the exact same really feel since the other D-line Nikons. It’s got no top-mounted show, but that’s not truly a issue because of the swivel show style. The show is really vivid and bright, even in complete daylight. It’s not as high-resolution since the D90, but it’s a lot brighter. The colors are also really sharp.

The graphical user-interface is excellent. The layout is really intuitive and also the program will alert you if you’re missing your SD card, when the topic is as well dark, picture high quality degree, ISO, white-balance, focus-mode, picture size, exposure, f-stop and a lot much more. Like all DSLR’s, navigation from the controls requires some instruction, but with this design it’s mainly intuitive.
The internals from the D5000 are the exact same since the D90. 12.3 megapixel sensor in each, 11 region TTL auto-focus on each, ISO 200 – 6,400 on each. There’s no concentrate motor about the D5000 however the picture high quality in the D5000 is really close towards the D90.
This camera shoots video clip, however it will not auto-focus in video clip mode and it will not shoot video clip for much more than 5 minutes. This indicates it’s fairly useless for video clip. If you’re searching for video clip, do not think about this camera – get a actual video clip camera.
Bottom line, this really is an excellent very first camera for that neophyte. Should you just wish to take some great images, this camera is going to be all you require. If you’re heading for portraits and landscapes and numerous lenses, spring for that D90.

Please subscribe because I am going to be doing a video on this topic. You can also use a remote control, but the operation with a remote control is different. You need to change your release mode to remote, then you need to go to M mode and turn you command dial until you see bulb. Then press the button on your remote ONCE, then the shutter will open. When you want it to close, press the button on remote control again and it will close. Anymore questions please reply!
But would I need a remote control for that?
Yes it does have the bulb feature. Basically what this does is when you hold down your shutter button, it opens the shutter and when you take your finger off of the button, the shutter closes allowing for a time controlled exposure.
Does it have ‘bulb’ mode so I can do some flashlight photography?
No problem!
Yes it is but be careful it is not a fraud because I have never seen the price of a kit this low.
And since you’re being so helpful and such a great source of knowledge, please respond soon, 1 day sale. Peace, thanks for help
Is 500 dollars for this and a low end lens a good deal?
Anymore questions please reply!
Anymore questions please reply!
The stock flash preforms pretty good. If you are taking pictures of things that are far away and/or need a more powerful flash AND rapid firing with flash, then that is when the external flash guns come in handy.
very helpfull!
just got my baby today and you really help me!
thanks!!!
Oh yes, i got it, i was ask my friend who got the d90, thanks for reply…
Great job on this review! I am buying my wife a DSLR for christmas and am torn between the D3000 and D5000. The ‘Live View’ Mode is a huge selling feature for me. I could care less about the HD video as I have a nice camcorder for that. Quick Question: Does the stock flash perform well or do you recommen an upgrade?
Yes, the articulated screen comes very handy.
If you are on a budget, then get the cheaper 18-105mm lens which also has telephoto capability but 200mm will give you even clearer results because you can zoom in more.
The reason I responded so fast is because I have my Palm Pre alert me when there is a new comment, subscriber etc on my videos or channel. The lens you mentioned has its advantages and disadvantages. I suggest that you get the 18-200mm VR which basically a telephoto and wide angle lens and its basically killing two birds with one stone. If you do not intend on doing telephoto photography, then the 18-105mm VR lens would suffice. Just remember to contact me again if you have anymore questions!
That’s what sold me on this cam! I needed that extra feature along with the articulated screen with the postures I get into when takings photos haha
That was a FAST response! lol
Thanks again!
Yeah I’ve gone over each of the options in my head myself haha. Thanks for the awesome review you sir have won a new subscriber for being so awesome!
PS im thinking of getting a 18-105mm lens think it’s worth it?
One other thing I forgot to mention is it has LiveView which is basically looking at the preview of the object/thing you are going to be taking a picture of on the LCD screen (most entry level DSLRs and other DSLRs do not have liveview and you must look through the viewfinder but with liveview, you can view it both ways).
No there will be no guide mode on the D5000. But keep in mind that it still has a user friendly interface. If you just put in in AUTO or in one of the SCENE modes, you will still be getting great photos. I recommend the D5000 over the D3000 for several reasons. One, it has more megapixels, Two, it can shoot 4 pictures per second unlike with the D3000 which can only do 3 per second,Third, it has an articulated screen and HD movie recording. Anymore questions please reply or send a messagel!
Will there be the guide mode like the d3000? I’m planning to get this one but I am still new but I think i’d get more from this cam. Thanks!
Thats great! Let me know when you get it!
Alright, thanks a lot! I made my choice. The Nikon will be my DSLR soon
Please refer to the other comment! Thank you!
