 Love the DOF with Video March 19, 2010

Love the depth of feld with video on this camera. If you are going for the movie look, this is for you. You will need to watch out for panning as DSLR cameras don't handle that well. However, if you plan your shots, it's great.
The Camera that's with you is the best one for you! March 18, 2010

I've been into serious photography since the early 1970s when photography was about film speed, shutter speed, and f-stop. I've owned three Nikon prosumer and professional-grade film cameras and three Nikon digital cameras and their associated lenses. This includes almost complete sets of AIS and AF-D primes and a smattering of professional zooms (I've never been short of equipment). However, I noticed that my D200 and professional zooms tended to sit on the shelf because they were too heavy to comfortably take on photo expeditions. There was also the issue of complexity in the D200. Of late, what I always seemed to have with me were the lighter and simpler to use D60 and the Nikon AF-S 16-85mm VR zoom. After losing the D60 to an accident, I replaced it with the D5000. I love it! It's with me every day as I take walks in the woods. (Contrary to what you might read, I have also successfully used the D5000 with AIS manual focus lenses and a hand-held light meter with excellent results.) As features, I especially like the D5000's swivel monitor and the ability to see and change setting on the monitor rather than delve into layers of menus. Using the D5000, I recently did a comparison between the venerable AIS 20mm prime lens and the AF-S 16-85mm VR zoom at 20mm. It was a revelation! The 16-85mm zoom beat the AIS prime hands down for clarify, sharpness, and chromatic aberration. In short, when simplicity and easy of use matter, the D5000 + 16-85mm VR zoom is an impressive kit.
 Used to be a 35mm SLR buff and tired of "point and shoot" cameras March 10, 2010

I used to be a semi-pro 35mm photographer and loved choosing aperture (for selecting depth of field) or shutter speed (for stop action or capturing motion), but when the digital cameras came out, I put away the 35mm and started purchasing point-and-shoot digital cameras. They were great under existing light conditions, but other than that, they sucked. Didn't have good flash capability, and settings were chosen for you. Sometimes photos came out blurry, too dark, too light, or just plain ol' crappy.
Finally, a DSLR came out with a reasonable price tag (under $700) and it was a name I trusted..... NIKON. I was going to purchase the D-3000, but finally put up the extra hundred bucks or so, and purchased the upgrade D5000. Man is it a nice camera.
Negatives first: The camera seems to be made of plastic and I'm afraid after a while, it will become damaged. The lens' flanges are plastic and I am extremely careful when removing or putting on lenses. If you drop it, I think you can kiss it good-bye. WEAR THE STRAP AT ALL TIMES.
Positives: READ, READ, READ the manual over and over again. I've had this camera since early December 2009 (its now November 11, 2010) and I started reading the manual before the camera was delivered. I still pick up the manual every now and then and read up on features that I don't use very often. Its a complex little unit, but that's half the fun. You can do so much with this camera. Set it for Aperture priority and adjust F-stops. Set it for shutter priority and adjust the speed. Set it on Program and point and shoot, or set it on Auto and pick a dozen pre-set settings for specific types of photos. It is fantastic.
I also like the tilt out view screen. Very handy. And reviewing images and deleting them is a snap.
It takes fantastic pictures with rich color and clear definition. I really like it.
Perfect for new dSLR owners March 5, 2010

This is my first digital SLR camera so I don't have many other points of reference. However, coming form a point and shoot world, the Nikon D5000 has proven itself to be an excellent entry point for me.
Used to being able to slide a camera into my pocket, I was concerned about the size of the camera. However, the Nikon D5000 is very light compared to some of my friends' SLRs, and this makes the camera very portable. My first trip out was to the zoo, and I quick adjusted to the form factor and found it very easy to carry and use. My only complaint in this department is the strap that comes with the camera. The standard Nikon strap was uncomfortable for me, and a bit cumbersome but that is certainly a matter of personal opinion so your mileage may vary.
The Auto, and Scene settings will be familiar to anyone who has used a digital camera in recent years and result in great shots with very little effort. The real power of course is in manual mode, and even my experiments there have yielded some really nice results.
All the various features can be a bit overwhelming. The manuals are just "ok" I'm afraid, so you woudl be well served to grab a book or one of Nikon's Camera School videos to help you along. In fact the Nikon website has all the basic "getting to know your camera" videos for the D500 for free.
If you are hoping to use some of your old Nikon lenses with this camera, be aware that there is no focus motor in the body. The D5000 makes use of motorized autofocus lenses, so keep that in mind.
All in all, a fantastic entry-level camera, with great features at a great price.

What a joy it has been using this Nikon D5000 for the past 9 months. I specialize in street and beach photography and was suffering from neck and shoulder pains after toting my old D2x around all day. My D5000 generally wears an 18-200VR
making this a very light combo indeed. Although it is in no way a normal choice for a professional I can buy 5 of these before I get into D3 territory pricewise. It doesn't have the weather sealing that the pro models have, but where I live it doesn't rain!. The shutter is consumer grade but has now clicked 81,000 times and shows no signs of giving up. I ratchet up the color tone to vivid and shoot mainly JPEG's in Normal file size. I do some occasional studio work, both nude and portraiture
and I would defy anyone to tell the difference between my D2x results and those of my D5000, all shot in NEF and put through Nikon Capture. With the 17-55mm attached it does feel out of balance with such a weighty lens, but again I have tended to use this combo only in the studio. Battery life has been extraordinary and I have often passed the 700 exposure mark before putting in a freshly charged one. The somewhat flimsy build quality - compared with metal cased pro bodies - is a problem that is easily overcome. For just [...] bucks Camera Armor make a tough silicone skin for the D5000 and it works a treat for me. if you are on a budget, or just downright mean, like me, this camera offers great picture quality and ease of use.
A steal at the price.
