  • i started photography in 1985 summer, and it's funny to see that dslr's are coming close to that film slr's used to be/still are in terms of quality

  • I first thought the baby mode was a joke

  • Comment removed

  • @zofrah Don't ask questions like this without giving some details about your budget and uses.

  • @idkmybffjv ummm, i'm new into cameras and stuff. :/

  • @zofrah if you want to make videos go with the d3100. If you only take photos, go with d5000 because it has a bigger sensor

  • i lol'd

  • I own a Sony 100mm f/2.8 macro (SAL-100M28) its used worth is 679.99 Should I sell it to buy this camera?? or is that just dumb?? Please tell me rev or someone

  • The nikon d5000 is a wonderful camera! i have taken all my photos on it! Go check it out!

    Go to facebook and type in "cameron millett photography."

    I recommend this camera to anyone!

  • these videos are pre-kai. whic means they suck

  • @Meredithandmallory01 Yeah, it's so annoying!

  • could any tell me, does the nikon d3100 has time lapse?

  • @dreamr00000000000000 The d3100. 

  • I bought right now the Niko D5000 seems like it's a fine camera !

  • hello. is nikon d5000 is a full-frame camera?! thank you.

  • @MrKorean30

    FX=full frame...

    DX=nikon d 5000))))

  • @MrKorean30 It's an APS-C sensor camera, which means it's a crop sensor. A crop sensor means that if you put were at an 18mm focal length on a crop sensor camera (such as the D5000) then it would be equal to a 27mm focal length on a full frame sensor camera (such as the D3s). Hope that helps :)

  • Guys i need some help,i dunno which camera to buy the canon eos450d or the nikonD5000?

  • @NAGULNR2 nikon

    if you compare any canon with this, may be the 550D

  • I love this camera!! :)

  • $400 Brand New Nikon D5000 at

    alibaba.com/product-free/11173­4456/D5000.html

  • @fndrjbass Did you hold down the focus button? Try setting the ISO lower and maybe use a flash

  • no dof preview?

  • I am not a photographer but I just need something nice for quality images. Is there anyone who can tell me if I should get this D5000 or should I just go for Canon Rabel T1i. They both are around the same price and the specifications are almost the same .. I like D5000 but it has 12.3 mexapexel while Canon is much higher in pixel. Canon T1 has 15.1 pixels. Does that make a difference or what? Please let me know if you are a photographer. I like high quality images. I needed it for my new hobby!

  • @sirajrizvi First of all, you should know that Canon and Nikon are the two leading camera company. You can't go wrong with both of these cameras. It depends whether do you want a better video recording? Or do you focus more on pictures. Both of these cameras take high quality pictures. Personally, I recommend that you take the Nikon D5000. It's user interface is much more user-friendly and more graphical. But that's me. Go to a shop and try both of them to see which one suits you more :)

  • @sirajrizvi yes the pixels enables cropping objects without blur

  • @LetArtsLive: thanks for your reply. I did go for higher pixel camera and yes I do crop a lot of my images. Thanks !

  • Hey, did anyone had problems when camera doesn't ave a picture? Does anyone know how to resolve it? (yes, there is a card inserted and no, it is not full) I took three pictures, restarted the camera and I can't get the darn thing to shoot again!

  • *save

  • @transistor09 Do you mean a picture on the ViewFinder? Or Live View?

  • @JC040696 Live View. I bought a new SD card that is higher class and the problem was gone away for a while, but later it came back.

    I took the camera to the shop but the problem could not be replicated (backstabbing DSLR). I also searched the internet with no matches too.

    The manual of the camera specifies certain manufacturers of mem. cards (that were tested) but that doesn't help. Manual also mentions something about heat (LV doesn't work); maybe there is a mech. fault with the thermometer.

  • I have a D5000, very cool camera, but I'm really having second thoughts about it. I was thinking if I should've bought the D90 instead. But, whatever right? I already have the D5000. I actually use it for video recordings and stuff, very nice quality.

  • Ne-kon?

  • i dont really find the scene modes good for me. the choices are mainly P,A,S and M

  • How do u shoot video. according to nikon there is a 720p hd movie mode...

  • @Nigahigafan2007 you use it like a digicam. how else are you gonna shoot a camera?

  • @Nigahigafan2007 press Lv (live view) button on the right of the screen and then hit OK to start/stop

  • d90 has scene modes on the other dial!

  • As a recent photo enthusiast, the D5000 was the perfect camera for me. Being a newbie to photography, this camera is a great introductory camera from someone who wants more than a point and shoot camera. The pictures are stunning, the learning curve is minimal and the overall quality of the camera is phenomenal. You will not go wrong with this camera if you are looking to get beyond the point and shoot and take your pictures to another level.

  • d90 or d5000?

  • "The Nikon can only manage 5 mins as the imaging sensor gets too hot."

    Not true. Nikon limited video to 5 mins, because it had something to do about European devices that can record more than 5 mins are automatically dubbed as video recorders, therefore have to pay higher import duties.

  • Did it remove the eye sensor for whitch D60 had? I mean the one on top of the lcd and bellow the eye finder?

  • @nameadrian Yes

  • Well done, nice explanation between the D90 and D5000. I went with the D5000 after a lot research and thought.

  • get canon t2i soon yes i want it damit

  • i am not impressed with the sound or 24 fps or no mic input yea 5 lousy minutes hd thanks wt buck??I am goin to get a canon man was i wrong

  • @LetArtsLive DSLR ARE FOR STILLS NOT VIDEO RECORDING.. GET A HANDYCAM...

  • @shonasam840 im learning that

  • @shonasam840 You do realise, DSLR's are being used to record alot of advertisments...

  • @shonasam840 who the fuck do you think you are telling people what to use their camera for. shut up and let people do what they want with the camera they bought.

  • simple answer karen1991x go for the D5000 simply because of the fact that the D5000 has far more functions than the D90 and with the new added 19 scene modes, plus the D5000 has the cmos sensor in my eyes, why fork out more money for the D90 when the D5000 has all the functions and more than the D90 ?? simples really

  • @kingstar1875 More functions make it more complicated. The D90 have much larger layout of external controls making it much faster to change settings once you get used to the body.

  • d90 and d5000 has the same sensor? ¬¬

    im gonna buy the d5000 =)

  • @darkestshow The sensor doesnt really matter...

  • DID he just say the D5000 got a simpler layout button then the D5000....lmao! stop being nerves and edit ya videos

  • does nikon d5000 have fish eye?

  • yes it has.

  • it has a digital retouch menue with a fish eye opt in in ,,

  • nikon d90 or nikon d5000? its so hard ... i like the nikon d5000 cause of all the scene modes HMMM i dont know help.

  • @karen1991x d90

  • noob

  • What in the hell of hells is a baby mode? xD

  • haha thats crazy!

    maybe it's easy use for kids?

    or for taking photo's of kids haha

  • Sarcasm scan, sarcasm scan...

  • nikon d5000 is the best for the price! also what is the point of the lcd on top of the D90 really? when is it useful or anything

  • To me I wouldn't have it any other way than to have a DSLR with an info screen on top of the camera. It makes everything simpler for someone like myself who like to use his camera on manual mode. If you know little on how to use a DSLR manually than the D5000 is ideal for you where the scene modes you pick for portrait, scenery, macro, action etc. in the dial on the top. But IMO images won't always be all that great using the "scene modes"....

  • well.. anytime the reviewer says that d90 is DOUBLE the price of d5000.

    d5000 rules

  • Not new to photography but it's my first SLR, Canon Xsi (450D) or Nikon D5000

  • What i meant was, I've used several SLRs before but this is my first personal purchase.

  • new to photography..

    canon 500d or nikon d5000?

    help appreciated

  • D5000 Nikon. I just bought 1 yesterday. It has a good picture quality and if you want to take a picture in a room with no light, and you turn the flash off, after snapping, the picture would show a room which is very different from the dark room as the picture you see would looks like afternoon time but you see would looks like the night time. :)

  • I started photography in late July 09, and at Christmas I got the Nikon D5000, and I dont regret it at all. Fantastic camera.

  • @Sophy454 It's great that you don't regret recieving a gift..

  • @Sophy454 how much did u pay for it?

    i looking for a camara, i wnat to start thsi as a hobby. thanks

  • @zeyer73 Something around £500

  • @Sophy454 hi, i got the camara last sunday i paid 575 euros, really nice camara, now learn how to use it, hahaha, good luck.

  • I can't decide if I wan't a Canon EOS 500D or a Nikon D5000. I'm pretty new to this, but i'm a fast lerner so I don't want a camera that makes me feel limited, if you know what i mean. I know alot about photography and cameras but I don't own a DSLR so I was wondering if anyone can help me?

  • Hello

    I had exactly this problem as I was coming from a Bridge and spending above £500 on a new camera I wanted it to last. I didnt want to be limited as you said, but since buying the D5000 and using it theres nothing that makes you restricted or a novice. Im also a fast learner and know lots about photography and wouldnt turn back on my decision of the Nikon, but don't get me wrong the Canon is a brilliant camera, but preference of the Nikon won me over

    Best of luck with the new camera :)

  • These cameras look soooo ugly without a lense, and sexy with a good one. lol

  • Nikon D5000 is a very good camera.

    The pictures are superb. 18-55 mm lens sharpens the picture very quickly.

    I am very pleased with it and recommend it to everyone

  • hello. i really need you help.

    i just bought the nikonD5000 and when i seem to zoom wit the lens the photo starts to blurr.. could you please help me learn how to focus my photos

    -the annonman

  • @TheAnnonMan - are you doing this via movie mode? You cannot autofocus in movie mode.

  • im new to dlsr's. and im having trouble learning how to normally focus a picture on my d5000.

    i bet its easy but, i really dont kno how. sooo anyones help would be grand :)

  • Digitalrev are awesome !

  • man i hate that im trying to step up my game, and ill i get from the new dslr cameras is that theyre user friendly and not too hard to use... i want to get out of the scene modes and the menus! but apparently i cant do it for under 1000 bucks!

  • What the hell is baby mode?

  • is it just me.. or does thiscamera look quite chunky.??

    mayb it also depends on hus holding it.... i have small hands so i guess this camera will look super big with me.. hmm i might just look into the D60 but i want movie mode hehehe :S:S

  • i have the d5000 and i love it. its not as big as it seems! infact, i know a family freind that is a pro photographer (also a writer) that uses the d5000. great camera!

  • which good fisheye lense would go on this?

  • The nikkor fish.

  • I hate people that can't spell correctly when trying to insult... what, a camera?

    Not even the best photographers shoot in manual.

  • I think Canon 500D is better

  • i dont reckon canon 500d video quality is way too jelloish

  • D90 is a good upgrade :]

  • do you know if you can set the camera to take constant pictures with the shutter speed at 30 seconds?

  • If you mean repeat timed exposure shots then yes you can.

  • Comment removed

  • hey there

    i'm considering buying this DSLR, ´but i got the impression that the camera is pretty BIG, is it a optical illusion or is it really that BIG.

  • big is good.

  • is the d90 a better quailty camera as the d5000

  • Quality is the same but D90 has more features. for the record though, they both have the same image sensor and in video mode perform identically.

    if you buy the standard lens bundle they come with the same excellent VR lens so the D5000 bundle is probably better value is its much cheaper than the D90 bundle

  • d90 is miles better than this camera,pay the extra money for the d90,you get what you pay for,QUALITY

  • And dust collection without proper cleaning

  • D5000 or Canon T1i (500d) ???

  • Get Nikon. Less noise, better colour depth etc.

  • Depend what you want it for.

    If you want it mostly for still shots get the Nikon.

    If you want it mostly for video get the Canon.

    The Nikon stock lens is far superior to the Canon 500D stock lens plus the Nikon uses the same image sensor from the more expensive D90.

    If you want more longer video go for the Canon which can record 18 mins in High Def and 24 mins in standard def.

    The Nikon can only manage 5 mins as the imaging sensor gets too hot.

  • if i want a moderate camera shots but good quality camera, which one i should go? my budget is around the price of D5000.

  • If you want a good camera for mostly still shots and you don't want to go to the expense of the D90, then go for the D5000

    The Canon mid to budget range cameras whilst good, just don't get such good reviews for their stock lens quality in that price range.

    The D5000 is good value and if I had been unable to afford the D90 which I bought, I would have gone for the D5000.

  • @acorntechnique Actually the sensor doesnt get "too hot"

    The actual reason the D90 has a 4 minute 59 second max video record time is because in certain countries (US included) HD Video cameras get taxed extra when imported from foreign countries (Japan) and to be concidered a HD camera, it has to be able to record for 5 minutes or more in HD. So Nikon put a limt on it to reduce cost.

    Also Dslrs are all for taking still pictures. But really, if u mostly want video Get a red or something haha

  • for some reason i found the d90 easier to use even though the d5000 is suppose to be more simple and more user friendly...O_o maybe thats just me but idk... ill be getting a d90 pretty soon~

  • You're righ the D90 seems damn good!

    nice screen 640x480

    and a true 4,5fps rafal mode.

  • Don't get the D90 Bud.

    The D5000 has an air flow system that stop dust from destroying your camera.

    The D90 does not.

    Please do at least a few months worth of more of research you will find that the D5000 is worth it.

  • meh~ but i still prefer the d90 over the d5000... i know that the d5000 is worth it but i still like the d90 over it... and its not like the d90s just going to get destroyed by dust...-_-

    and not to sound like an ass or anything but i can get whut i want...

    d90 is way better than the d5000 in my opinion though...

  • is D5000 good ?

  • Too many bodys have been broken.

  • and why is that ?

  • Its new model. i give it back to nikon and they dont have part to repair it. dont buy this not now

  • oh. okay thanks .

  • i know cuz my D5000 died after one day :(

  • then , when should i buy ?

  • nope. i dont know what you should choice but its not D5000

  • Buy stuff with a genuine Warranty!

  • is it good? Well to in all honesty! "YES"

    And it rapes the D90 because the D90 FAILS to keep it self dust free.

    The D5000 has a Air flow system that keeps that shit out!

  • I'm looking to gett my first DSLR,Im considering buying canon's rebel XSI but I've just found out about Nikon's D5000 what would be a better choice? I'll be taking all kinds of photo's but mostly macro,what do yall think? which camera produces shaper and better quality pictures?

  • The xsi is a bit older, and is more comparible to the d60, and between those two i hear the d60 is sharper and better with noise, so this d5000 will be much better, ive used a d60, and its was great, and this camera has nothing but improvements over the d60, so i think my advice would be the d5000... But keep in mind that your camera will only be a tool for making photos.

  • whats the intro music, please tell me

  • D5000 :-)

  • which 1 is better? nikon d5000 or sony a350

  • The D5000 is better than the Alpha350. No question about it :)

  • Sony got big noises.

    But Sony in good light is best ever.

    Its your choise

  • wait actually its the a380 and a330 that arwe new from sony, maybe look into those.

  • I just got D90 3 month ago from the first time i used it i really in love with its,easy features,easy to reach with ur thumps and very light too for the picture quality is every impressive is can turn everyone to proffesional photographer.

  • just get it with the 18-105 mm lens, and it becomes an amazing dlsr... I like it verry much

  • nice:)

  • the d5000 is 270$ less than the d90 but there both great

  • nikon makes excellent cameras (actually in this day & age all of the companies do), this camera will be no exception. the d5000 will produce excellent image quality, as will nearly any other dslr you may choose on the market today. when you see a bad image, don't blame the camera, blame the photographer. i am an olympus owner but i have respect for all of the brands.

  • I wish it had the front dial and the AF motor, cause that new swivel screen is a nice thing!

  • Hey guys I need some opinions.

    Nikon d5000 or canon eos 500d?

  • neither, save for th d90

  • Go for Nikon D5000 Best SLR

  • no front dial???!! crap!!

  • Looks like Nikon maximizes the battery life by removing top LCD panel.

  • D5000 isnt successor od D90. It is successor of D60, so they didnt remove it, just didnt add it.

  • prety much a fancy point and shoot if you ask me...shouldnt even be a dslr

  • bollocks mate!!!! i hav ethis cam and d300 spot on photos mate point an dshoot haha

  • nice overview.

  • is this video quality clear taken on this camera? it says it has 4 Frames Per Second, as a beginner, it sounds kinda sketchy. Does 4 FPS turn out clear?

  • it records video at 24fps and takes pictures at 4fps

  • ooo, thanks

  • The D5000 seems to be equal to the D90, except the D90 features more and better options, for more professional photography. Good review, and fun to see a new nikon entering the market!

  • big differants to d90 is AF motor in body on 90 and better kit lens really nothing more hell the 5000 has more setting the 90 not less and bulds alittle cheap then 90

  • I prefer the D90

  • 19 scene modes, bloody hell :D

  • Awesome , Thx again!! Music is jammin' btw :)

  • are all d90s and d5000s made in thailand??

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks for the side-by-side.

    Wonder what that music was, also...

  • "Child/Baby" mode? What does that do? Does it make them sit still while I try to capture the shots? Lol :P
