Best camera in its class!!! Jul 27, 2010
Its a great camera and specially if you are a beginner then this is the camera to start with. Awesome features and performance. Great value for money.

Superb lightweight alternative to the D90 / D3000 Jul 26, 2010
If you are the kind of person who leaves your DSLR locked up in the hotel room because it's too heavy, get the D5000. At the end of the day, you'll have more pictures and NO they won't be worse than the D80 / D90. If they are, then you need to improve your technique :D

I am not going to review the tech specs ([...] has already done it, better than I can). Just want to re-affirm what's said about the high ISO performance - Simply stunning!

I will recommend the DK-21M magnifier eyepiece as a must have accessory. Makes the otherwise average pentamirror viewfnder much better. Remember to remove the hard eyecup from the DK-21M and combine it with the camera supplied DK-24 eyecup instead.

I bought the 35mm f/1.8 and 18-105mm VR lenses with this camera. Absolute joy to use. And so is the SB-400.

Feels great not to be lugging around "pro" gear and a bagful of lenses and still making wonderful pictures with this little baby.

Great entry level DSLR Jul 19, 2010
The decision to buy a DSLR wasn't an easy one. We wanted a camera that minimizes the need for flash (meaning it would bring in A LOT of light), that wasn't too heavy, and not too expensive. It turns out that no camera has yet to optimize all three (something about physics?), so we had to compromise. As compromises go, this was a very decent one. We compared it closely to the D90, and came to the conclusion it had all the same functionality (except for the ability to use additional flashes by wireless connection), and was lighter and cheaper.
We've had it now for several months, and taken over 10,000 photos. It's easy to use and takes good pictures (and also takes many pictures quickly, so you can take 10 pictures and choose 1. We leave the camera in burst mode all the time). The video is also quite decent.
On the downside, the live-view is not great, and you're much better off taking pictures with the view-finder.
We're happy with the camera.

Worth the money !! Jul 06, 2010
I would just say that its no less than D90. The picture quality is awesome. Just need to know the basics of photography with DSLRs.

Nikon D5000 Jun 29, 2010
The Nikon D5000 is an excellent camera. I like the quality of the photographs and how easy is too use.
