@kmusicxx , Nikon D5000, i got Nikon D3100, and a Nikon D200, if i were you, i bought nikon d3100 :) very nice, for beginners, i like it better than nikon d200 :)
which one to go for as there are many to choose from. I am looking for great video e.g. bikes and sports, action pictures, landscapes and value for money, my limit is £600, what about the a33 or is it worth upgrading to the a55 or canon's 500d or upgrade to 550d or even the nikon 3100 or d5000
sorry man i didn't watch until you explained about your child before commenting i retracted my previous statement and your videos are great man keep on posting
@jaefn I take it you're not a parent? Taking photos of your baby/toddler when they're sleeping isn't exactly unheard of you know, especially since that's the only time they're not moving. :-)
Hey im looking for a little bit of advise from anyone willing to lend me a hand...i am looking at buying my first dslr within the next month (but have had a little experience with them in the past) and have been searching for a long time for one that i think i am interested in...i have narrowed it down to 2 and was wondering if you could help me decide between the Nikon D5000 or the Nikon D3100?? any help is greatly appreciated :-) thanks
@7showler7 I could help you but first tell me your needs. I always suggest to spend money on a great lens first. A lot of times people buy expensive bodies but don't invest in good lens and then the pictures look average. It's always a good idea to get f/2.8 or better so it performs well in low light and gives you nice bokeh (Depth of field) If you do go with D3100, the money you save can be spent on a good lens. Get a nice prime lens. Tell me more about your needs. I'll help you.
This is great advice about shooting in colour then converting into b&w/sepia. That makes perfect sense, and I never even thought of that before...doh !! lol
@sirraplease Yeah, I know, but no one around here says it that way, so I fall back to saying "Niiikon" instead of "Neeekon". Speaking of words, you should look up "pedantic". :-)
@ant1mag3 I really doubt that's going to be the case - I'm sure you'll eventually want to buy a different lens - but the camera of course will deliver perfectly good pictures with the kit lens.
@ThoughtsMedia i have done a lot of research about DSLR camera but i was torn between d3100 and d5000 , which one is the best in terms of video and image quality?
Hi Jason,I'm thinking to buy one DSLR and i'm a beginner. Do you have any suggestion in which camera is suitable for me? I was thinking to buy this D5000 though. But still needs some suggestions. Thanks.
@coldsummernights24 I don't understand what you're asking - the image doesn't shrink...at least, not the original file. It's zoomed out, yes, so it fits on the screen.
@melallmark I think so; I don't have the camera any more, so I can't check for you. But you should never, ever shoot in those modes: shoot in colour and convert it afterwards. The reason why is that you can go from colour to B&W, but you can't go back if you ever wished the image was in colour..
@thugcandy94 Take a look at the Nikon D3100 - it's a good place to start for beginners. Or, for not much more money, you should be able to find a Nikon D90 - also a good camera.
@pogi09282805724 They're both very similar in terms of feel - they both have the small body size of the D60, etc. The "feel" of a camera is a very personal thing though; I'd encourage you to go to a camera store and check them both out in person.
@punkstreetpunk I'm not rich, but I'm a professional geek for a living, so this is part of what I do...I review/buy products regularly to stay on top of the game.
@ThoughtsMedia Aaah right! Jesus I never would of thought of that, Lol! But the d40 is only 2 digits yet it's a consumer camera yet the d80 (2 digits) is a semi- pro??? Sorry in advance!
@Lousypenguin Sorry, I should have explained that the new naming structure is for the newer cameras - basically since the introduction of the D3000, D5000, etc. You'll see the D7000 announced soon, and it's the top of the consumer-level products. It replaces the D90. The older models will get phased out, and eventually this will all make sense. ;-)
@Lousypenguin No, the D5000 is consumer grade. The D300s is semi-pro. The D700, having a higher model number, is semi-pro/pro...the D3x is hella-pro. ;-)
@imatux The reality is that newer Nikon cameras typically blow apart neat structures like this; the D7000 makes the D300s look inferior in several ways, but it's clearly priced at a prosumer level and is in fact the replacement for the D90, which will be discontinued in the spring. The D3100 leapfrogs the D5000 in a few key ways, namely the video functionality. This is all just blah blah. I know very PRO wedding photographers that charge $30K for weddings and shoot with the D700.
@imatux You think the Canon 7D kills the D7000 when it comes to video? Why? I've heard that the 7D has more flexible frame rate options...any other reasons? Canon certainly has more experience with video, but the D7000 brings continual auto-focus to the table, which is certainly a handy video feature to have in many circumstances. :-) Let's not forget that the D7000 is about 1/3rd less than the 7D. Nikon hasn't released their 7D killer yet... ;-)
Yes I do believe so, the continuous auto-focus may be handy but I know most film makers would much love to control their focus manually. It is a good point the D7k is 1/3rd less but until Nikon releases a 7D killer, the 7D will still stand with a more control in what you can do in video also it can record 1080p @ 24p, 25p and 30p which just is easier on editing and releasing to different countries.
@imatux Yeah, the pros using DSLRs with focus rigs and external displays, etc. wouldn't care about auto-focus I guess. There are some crazy DSLR video rigs out there! No doubt that until Nikon releases the successor to the D300s and/or the D700, the 7D and 5D Mark II will remain the DSLRs of choice for video pros. But if you look at the killer technology Nikon can deliver in a $1200 D7000 body, their next camera (in the $1800 to $2K range) should be AMAZING. :-)
It would be quite amazing! camera upgrade here we come :D (using a Nikon D5000 with Kit 18-55 and Kit 50-200 also with Ownuser BH-N5000 Grip and Nissin Di622 Speedlight)
BTW I was just on a BTS photoshoot and the crew were using insane 7D rigs. They had stabalising mounts and rails.
@imatux I'm still rocking my D300 from January of 2007, but I've been investing in lenses: I have the 24-70 f2.8 and the 70-200 f2.8...each cost me more than the D300 did. Crazy! But good glass is good glass, while camera bodies come and go. I've set aside some money for the D300 upgrade, whatever it's called. :-)
dis is was awesome video !!!!!!! yes i will do take dis cam!!!!!!!!! u knw u make people explain things properly dudeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!!! thnx 4 dis vid!! thnxxx !!!!!!!!!!!!
@Cramermadmoney No, the replacement for the D90 - which is rumoured to be called the D7000 - hasn't been announced yet. Indications are that it will be announced very soon though...(a matter of weeks).
@Pugyxandrew Do you mean a DOF preview button? No, it doesn't have that. You'll see the DOF preview when you lock in your focus, but I think you're asking about the button. As for changing the metering type, no, you can't change it with your eye to the viewfinder. You're looking for a different calibre of camera; you want something with a second command wheel. Look for the D90 replacement coming next month from Nikon.
really good video! thanks :) i'm hoping to get this camera very soon. it will be my first dslr, or slr for that matter as i am wanting to start getting to more indepth photography than what a point and shoot camera can offer. thank you for the video :)
What are the best lens for this camera, what would you recommend, because i'm actually trying to become a director, but I'm only 17, but someone told me to start practicing....so yeah, i need some help.
@imdaprince2 "Best" varies completely based on what you're trying to do...but the 35mm f/1.7 prime lens would be a good start - it's fast, gives you great depth of field, and is fairly sharp. It would be a good place to start.
Does the D5000 have a metal body, or is it ALL plastic like the rebel series? I cannot decide between this and the Pentax k-x. Video is also important for me. ARRR, I can't decide.
@hjstuckey You think I have an accent? Hehe. That's funny - I think I sound like an accent-free North American...but I guess what sounds "normal" to me isn't to you.
I am deciding between this and a Canon T1i, $650 vs $700. I'm having trouble deciding between the two. The 15MP of the Canon is very appealing along with the 3in higher resolution screen compared to the 2.7 screen (i don't need the swivel anyways.) However from what i've seen the D5000 is better with noise at higher iso, and a more sophisticated 11 point autofocus system. What do you think? Do the extra megapixels of the canon significant? How's the screen of the D5000?
@VxTran008 I haven't tried a Canon T1i, so I can't give you much input. I will say that the difference between 12mp and 15mp is negligible - as in, ignore it. 3" vs 2.7"? Doesn't matter much. I have no complaints about the screen on the D500. It's not quite as nice as my D300 screen, but the D300 is a much more expensive camera. Can you go see each camera in a store? Getting hands-on time is by far the most important thing.
@VxTran008 at above iso 200 the Nikon has a better picture with less noise. the Nikon is a lot better overall. also the Nikon sensor just seems more refined and mature with better results compared to the canon
I really want this camera, I was originally looking at the D3000 because a friend of mine owns one but I find that it's to simple in it's feature set. the D5000 offers a bit more of a selection I also really love the swivel screen.
@stayfit01 Zero problems with it since buying it 9 months ago. I don't know what you mean about it "turning off". If you mean the screen blanking, that's a power-saving function and not an error.
Guys, please, can anyone with enough experience or anyone pro in this field answer this question that I really need to know: Which camera brand in general do you think is the best, Sony, Nikkon, Canon, Fujitsu, or what??? I know you might be saying that depends on which camera we're trying to compare, but I'm talking in general. Because each brand has it's specific general trends and attributes. I really need to know guys what do you think, and this can be a discussion among pros who comment.
@VideoDocR Since it seems like you don't want to do any research yourself, and are simply looking for someone to tell you what to buy, go get a Nikon DSLR. :-)
@ThoughtsMedia Thanks for answering. But seriously I wasn't trying to avoid doing research about that matter, as actually I am doing that. But, I just wanted a general rule about camera brands from an expertise in the field. Thanks.
@VideoDocR But you have to realize that there are 100's of different reasons why someone might want to buy a DSLR, and many different types of scenarios, and without any context, the question of "What should I buy?" is completely impossible to answer. You know what you're looking for, so do the research, read/watch the reviews, and pick what will work best for you.
Nice camera, i love taking pictures but im not that into it to use something like a nikon d5000, i use a nice portable kodak easyshare md41, also keep up the good videos, thumbs up.

@imatux Yeah, the pros using DSLRs with focus rigs and external displays, etc. wouldn't care about auto-focus I guess. There are some crazy DSLR video rigs out there! No doubt that until Nikon releases the successor to the D300s and/or the D700, the 7D and 5D Mark II will remain the DSLRs of choice for video pros. But if you look at the killer technology Nikon can deliver in a $1200 D7000 body, their next camera (in the $1800 to $2K range) should be AMAZING. :-)

@ThoughtsMedia
It would be quite amazing! camera upgrade here we come :D (using a Nikon D5000 with Kit 18-55 and Kit 50-200 also with Ownuser BH-N5000 Grip and Nissin Di622 Speedlight)
BTW I was just on a BTS photoshoot and the crew were using insane 7D rigs. They had stabalising mounts and rails.
imatux 1 year ago
@imatux I'm still rocking my D300 from January of 2007, but I've been investing in lenses: I have the 24-70 f2.8 and the 70-200 f2.8...each cost me more than the D300 did. Crazy! But good glass is good glass, while camera bodies come and go. I've set aside some money for the D300 upgrade, whatever it's called. :-)

Good glass is good glass, though the new Nikkore AF-S kit lenses perfom quite well being kit lenses.

Confused a little bit about Nikon line of product.
Can you tell which one will be the replacement for D90. Has it been announced yet.
Thanks
Cramermadmoney 1 year ago
@Cramermadmoney No, the replacement for the D90 - which is rumoured to be called the D7000 - hasn't been announced yet. Indications are that it will be announced very soon though...(a matter of weeks).

@AllHopeIsGoneNow Yes, it's a good beginner camera - but you should also look at the Nikon D3100.

@AllHopeIsGoneNow The Nikon D90 its a good camera :) But the lenses are important too :)

dose the d5000 have DOF preview and can you change the metering type with your eye to the viewfinder?
Pugyxandrew 1 year ago
@Pugyxandrew Do you mean a DOF preview button? No, it doesn't have that. You'll see the DOF preview when you lock in your focus, but I think you're asking about the button. As for changing the metering type, no, you can't change it with your eye to the viewfinder. You're looking for a different calibre of camera; you want something with a second command wheel. Look for the D90 replacement coming next month from Nikon.

Are you sure about the 20 mins. maximum HD recording time? I've heard some say it's restricted to 5 mins. to protect the camera from overheating.

@gunnerkylling I did some research, and it's 5 minutes for HD video, and 20 minutes for SD video.

What are the best lens for this camera, what would you recommend, because i'm actually trying to become a director, but I'm only 17, but someone told me to start practicing....so yeah, i need some help.
imdaprince2 1 year ago
@imdaprince2 "Best" varies completely based on what you're trying to do...but the 35mm f/1.7 prime lens would be a good start - it's fast, gives you great depth of field, and is fairly sharp. It would be a good place to start.

Anyone know if older AI lenses fit on these little digital camera's?
rumvodkaf1 1 year ago
@biped9 I had the exact same problem as you for weeks and this will help. Go to Snapsort.com and compare the two
In terms of image quality they are on the same level
In terms of functions the Kx wins hands down
HDR,filters etc.
If brand is your concern then the choice is yours the Nikon will have a greater amount of lenses available
The Pentax is at low price,small size,good functions and it's better carrying around a camera that everyone doesn't have.
Hope this helps.
WilliamTsengsta 1 year ago
Pentax K-X! I just bought one and it's soo cool coming from my canon g11
WilliamTsengsta 1 year ago
Does the D5000 have a metal body, or is it ALL plastic like the rebel series? I cannot decide between this and the Pentax k-x. Video is also important for me. ARRR, I can't decide.

@biped19 No, it's a plastic body.

I'm trying to decide between this and the Canon T2i. 12 MP vs. 18 MP, $650 vs. $900.
hitherefrompaul 1 year ago
@hitherefrompaul At that price point, you should be comparing the Nikon D90 to the T2i. $250 is a huge price difference between two cameras.
- Jason

I am deciding between this and a Canon T1i, $650 vs $700. I'm having trouble deciding between the two. The 15MP of the Canon is very appealing along with the 3in higher resolution screen compared to the 2.7 screen (i don't need the swivel anyways.) However from what i've seen the D5000 is better with noise at higher iso, and a more sophisticated 11 point autofocus system. What do you think? Do the extra megapixels of the canon significant? How's the screen of the D5000?
VxTran008 1 year ago
@VxTran008 I haven't tried a Canon T1i, so I can't give you much input. I will say that the difference between 12mp and 15mp is negligible - as in, ignore it. 3" vs 2.7"? Doesn't matter much. I have no complaints about the screen on the D500. It's not quite as nice as my D300 screen, but the D300 is a much more expensive camera. Can you go see each camera in a store? Getting hands-on time is by far the most important thing.
- Jason
ThoughtsMedia 1 year ago
@VxTran008 at above iso 200 the Nikon has a better picture with less noise. the Nikon is a lot better overall. also the Nikon sensor just seems more refined and mature with better results compared to the canon
i would go with the Nikon

I really want this camera, I was originally looking at the D3000 because a friend of mine owns one but I find that it's to simple in it's feature set. the D5000 offers a bit more of a selection I also really love the swivel screen.

Guys, please, can anyone with enough experience or anyone pro in this field answer this question that I really need to know: Which camera brand in general do you think is the best, Sony, Nikkon, Canon, Fujitsu, or what??? I know you might be saying that depends on which camera we're trying to compare, but I'm talking in general. Because each brand has it's specific general trends and attributes. I really need to know guys what do you think, and this can be a discussion among pros who comment.

@ThoughtsMedia Thanks for answering. But seriously I wasn't trying to avoid doing research about that matter, as actually I am doing that. But, I just wanted a general rule about camera brands from an expertise in the field. Thanks.
VideoDocR 1 year ago
@VideoDocR But you have to realize that there are 100's of different reasons why someone might want to buy a DSLR, and many different types of scenarios, and without any context, the question of "What should I buy?" is completely impossible to answer. You know what you're looking for, so do the research, read/watch the reviews, and pick what will work best for you.
