The Nikon D5000 DSLR camera gained a lot of popularity after the day it was launched. When I had an opportunity to evaluate the Nikon D5000, I fully know the reason behind its popularity.
Nikon D5000 is probably the perfect entry-level DSLR, I had used. Most of the concept behind Nikon D5000 draws on its predecessor, the Nikon D300. It is actually a bit older and pricey DSLR camera. For those technologies to get trickled into the Nikon D5000 already is helpful for starting and advanced photographers.
Image Quality
Having an efficient good quality image sensor and 12.3 mega pixels, the Nikon D5000 has an outstanding image quality. When using the Nikon D5000, RAW pictures are of a much better quality compared to JPEG pictures.
My Nikon D5000 incorporated an 18mm-55mm equal compatible lens, which had clear focus and picture quality. This kind of lens was very successful in your wide angle image shots. You would need another lens for the telephoto shots, however. My lens had a clear focus, both manually and automatically.
Overall Performance
The booting time is fast in Nikon D5000, which does not often happen in a DSLR. Sometimes, the auto-focus fails fast, particularly with low-light pictures, but it’s precise.
You may use the liquid crystal display, also known as the “live view” or optical viewfinder for you to frame images, but auto-focus is sluggish when working with the live view, that is typical among DSLR types.
You can easily edit images inside the camera itself using the in-camera editing features.
Design and Style
The Nikon D5000 is very easy to handle and use using the 18mm-55mm zoom lens. The digital camera’s weight is well balanced, as well as the control keys and lens rings are at your fingertips. On the other hand, for people searching for their first DSLR, it is really worth testing the Nikon D5000 prior to you buying it, since DSLR cameras tend to be different in function, dimension, and weight compared to extremely small digital camera models.
The Nikon D5000 is effective in automatic setting, like the auto-focus function of the lens. Even so, if you wish to find out more about photography, setting up the D5000’s controls is simple, and also the camera displays the configurations employed throughout picture playback. Lastly, the Nikon D5000 consists of an LCD which can be set at an angle and spun from the camera, which is good. Additionally, you can turn the LCD beside your camera body, safeguarding the LCD if not using the camera. However, the LCD’s video resolution is lower than some DSLR types.
