  • that actully is is the VR2

  • @TheRichTee nikon d 5100. ;)

  • D3100 or D5000?

  • Is this camera still available to purchase in the UK? I see it on Amazon but its an astronomical £560+ pounds with the 18-55 VR kit which is a bit steep for me.

  • @jane1975 You could probably pick it up relatively cheap now as the new D5100 is out, however in my opinion the small bonuses you get are not worth the big price tag it holds. The only problem is that you'd need to find a D5000 new which would be rather difficult. However I'm sure you could pick one up second hand relatively cheap!

  • Mine one day just suddenly shut off and I haven't been able to get it to turn back on even after charging it. Can anyone help me out? :/ I don't know what happened.

  • im lookin for a dslr camera that will be more used for filmin

    would you recommend this camera or another camera ?

  • Nikon D5000 or Sony A390?

  • @XchickenkillerX nikon is better :)

  • I have this camera and I love it, and every time he said "nice and chunky" I laughed so hard!

  • wowww!i love the this camera :)! Do you know you can make Time Lapse Photography with this camera?

    These guys have an infrared remote time-lapse device for all cameras: tempusALL.bymac.org

    sweet!! :P

  • I love my d5000 its a very good camera. i personally did research on it when i first got into photography and it truely is a great cmaera for beginners and learning camera control.. BUT dont get to used to the graphic display because you will never learn what the numbers mean youll just been used to seeing what the internals of the camera are doing and not all cameras have that program so its good to start off with graphic but then go to classic so you can know what the numbers actually mean.

  • 15 min add :(

  • Does anyone know if Nikon entry level and mid level SLR Cameras have the option of remote shooting using a computer and via a personal computer control all the camera settings and store pictures in the computer like they do in the Photo studios. If they do, what is the name of the software that I can buy. I know the Canon cameras have this option.

  • could you please advise me weather i should buy the D5000 +twin lens @ £499 or the D3100 +single lens @ £450 if it were your money which one would you buy? (this will be my first dslr) please help this is doing my head in !!

  • @Ninocompain i'm sure the space concerning what's semi professional and pro is smaller now. d7000 is perhaps all we all want. visit... freedslr . com remove spaces and get a chance to bring home a Brand New Nikon D7000

  • Hi,

    Which one would you recommend me? nikon d5000 or Canon 550d?

    Thanks

  • @XaiQ

    Every such question is pointless if you don't specify what it is that troubles you. For example: "Hey! I like Canon's AF system but I like Nikon's jpeg engine, too. Which you think is more important to make a decision based on?" Both cameras probably suit you perfectly. Get into the specs and try to make your own decision.

  • @gecmartins That was a bit harsh lol. Well in that case, Canon 550D :)

  • @XaiQ

    In an attempt to be as straight forward as possible, I forgot to choose wisely my words therefore I came across as impolite. I beg your pardon for that. I'd suggest you to visit dpreview dot com and use its side by side camera comparison tool to see what sets the two cameras apart.

  • @gecmartins Thats absolutely fine :) Will do the comparison thanks :)

  • @XaiQ Once you've purchased the camera, let me know if you need help with manual exposure. Good luck!

  • @PhotographersOnUTube Great! Thanks, I'll do that. Im trying to get hold of Canon 550D because i'm thinking of getting a camera for a long-term. I can get a camera for £300 price right now but £600 for the 550D is making me wait :)

  • very well explained. Interesting. :)

  • What camera are you using to record this video?

  • can u please tell me , should i buy d5000 or d3100

  • I bought this cam for $350 at target on clearance, love it

  • is nikon d5000 better or canon 500d?

    

  • @sameoldstoryme so what did you eventually choose? I got the same dilema, and I decided to go for the nikon d5000

  • 3100 or 5000?

  • 1080 x 720? lol.

  • Struggling between Nikon D5000, Nikon D3100 and Nikon D90.

    Any suggestions are welcome.

  • @MrRusswarez go to imaging comparison website and then decide. It's why I went with the 5000 and not the others. more bang for the buck.

  • @MrRusswarez go to imaging comparison website and then decide. It's why I went with the 5000 and not the others. more bang for the buck. if you can live with a 2.7 rather than a 3.0 lcd screen, i'd say go for it.

  • @MrRusswarez go to imaging comparison website and then decide. It's why I went with the 5000 and not the others. more bang for the buck. if you can live with a 2.7 rather than a 3.0 lcd screen, i'd say go for it. they are very reasonably priced now.

  • Hi,

    It would really help if you could answer a question... I'm upgrading from my lame upper level point-and-shoot Fujifilm because I'm probably now an intermediate to professional photographer.

    Question: would you recommend something like a Sony A230/Sony A390 or this Nikon D5000? Thanks so much!

  • Great video, precise, informative, thanks for not wasting my time!

  • I can`t see the photoes in my computer taken by Nikon D5000.Anybody could you help me.

  • which camera do you think is better Nikon 3100 vs nikon 5000 vs canon 500d

  • is the nikon d5000 better than the nikon d3100?

  • was für ein hässlicher Bock !

  • i got it for £450 online last year, the video is great but audio is always out of sink

  • nikon d 5000 or canon 500d ?

  • @ArmeniaKharabakh i would say d5000 becaust its cheaper than 550D and same quality as well same quality for video filming etc.. i have d5000 and 550D and im so dumb why the hell i buy this 2 camera and they are same lol now im planing to move canon 7d ..

  • Kit?? 15-108? or 18-55

  • would this be a good camera for a keen amateur? or should i get the D3100

  • this is what happens when sony fucks with canon ! it gives birth to nikkon

  • Which one worth buying D90 or D5000?

  • @rosn73 get the D7000

  • @rosn73 if you're a beginner. try d3000.

  • i have a suggestion for a video camera small enough to fit perfectly in a mans neck tie pin perfectly and can record perfect video images and can record perfect sound and can reecord perfect video image

  • Nikon D5000 or D3100?

  • @ADYOSamigo

    it's almost the same  :)

  • @ADYOSamigo that is my exact same dilemma. what did you go for in the end, and do you think you make the right choice?

  • @WhatDigitalCamera 550D or D5000?

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

  • @MrKorean30 No, it uses an APS-C size sensor.

  • @WhatDigitalCamera Comparing the nikon d5000 to the nikon d3100, which one seems to be the best choice nowadays? Its price has decreased since they released the new d5100. I´ve read some reviews telling that d3100 is a more modern but since the d5100 is now cheaper, doesn´t it make more sense to go for it, even if it is discontinued? thanks for you videos.

  • he films himself in movie theatres lol

  • Unlike yourself I have been out today using my camera, not writing silly posts.

    I asked why and you gave a good answer,I've had 3 nikons , the Canon I had I found tricky to use, image quality i found nothing between them.

  • I wished it was side hinged LCD screen instead of at the bottom

  • nikon 5000d or the canon eos 500d?

  • @NAGULNR2 in terms of image quality i would go with the nikon d5000

  • @sergionuno Why ?

  • @jerryteflon This is just my personal opinion, but 1st of all i must say that im not Canon or Nikon kind of fan, i have no problem in using bouth brands, acording to the model, and i had contact with many cameras, in fact my actual camera is the Pentax K7.

    Now, for my personal opinion, the d5000 takes good quality pictures in almost any condition, and also has the Active D-lighting funcion.

    But by the way, why not the new Pentax K5?

  • Comment removed

  • Nikon D500 or Nikon D3100 , which one is better

  • Hi. I want to ask you. I am going to buy a dslr. I will need to make video & taking pictures. Which camera would you recommend to me? I would like to buy neither D5000 nor D3000.

  • you can now buy it from Amazon U.K for £449.99 (NEW) !

  • Does an old lens without atoufocus for analog cameras works on it ?

  • Can you focus on an image & blur the backround? -Thanks

  • i'm looking for a good cheap camera, do recommend the nikon d5000, or the olympus pen epl-1 ?

  • 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.

  • hi im thinking of buying either canon sx29is or nikon d5000?which is better?can someone give me an advice>many thanks

  • whit is bettr the sony alpha 330

    or this one??????????

  • would you recommend the Nikon d5000 or the Canon Rebel t2i?

  • hi mat there can you tell me how to get lots of depth field in video mode thanks

  • @21mrgwalker To get more depth of field you need to use a small lens aperture. A smaller sensor, as found on most camcorders will also give you more depth of field. This video was shot deliberately with more shallow depth of field, which is achieved by using a camera with a large sensor (the full frame Canon 5D Mk.II) with a wide lens aperture.

  • @WhatDigitalCamera

    Hi,

    Thanks for that review. love it, makes me think to try out nikon as well coz i am a big of fan of canon :)

  • @WhatDigitalCamera

    wait, you contradicted yourself twice in this statement... what are you trying to say?

  • @21mrgwalker try a 5.6 f-stop and manual zoom.

  • im stuck between buying the Nikon D3000 or the Nikon D5000! heeeellllppp!!

  • @mizpink93 the d5000 does video and has a flippable lcd screen... c'mon!! ;)

  • wttff did they film this with i know its a 50mm but what cam?

  • @RamoRM07 If I recall correctly it was the Canon EOS 5D Mk.II

  • @WhatDigitalCamera thank you

  • is 10.2 megapix enough??

  • @Kikkankleiven ho ho of course !

  • @Kikkankleiven, d5000 is 12.3mpxl and that is quite enough, in my opinion... :)

  • @UnpluggedSRB okai

  • @Kikkankleiven 12.3

  • My main complaints with this camera is that there is no auto focus in HD mode and the microphone is mono and it's rubbish. It does take very nice pictures though.

  • fantastic review, nice and clear and very good vid-camera work. Very easy to watch and very informative on the basic functions, thanks

  • cleaning> when it push the air out it will have to suck in the same amount so there four sucking IN dust ???

  • @devonmale69 The air coming in is passed through a filter so reducing dust, hope that helps

  • Man, the D5000 feels a little Bulky and Heavy and gives me weird feel when I hold it. Canon Feels better (550D). But the functions and Lenses of D5000 gets my attention.

  • Which would you recommend: the Canon EOS 450d or the Nikon d5000?

  • @thetechnoexpert 5 minutes

  • @kimleeyu u can only record continuously for 5 minutes? well how many times can u record in 5 min intervals?

  • how long can you continously record??

  • Your running out of battery power! charge it!

  • This camera, video tripod, redrock micro dslr system, 50mm f1.8 lens. Let the good times roll!

  • what is live view?

    kinda new im 13 got into photography a year ago had a canon eos 350

    i might get this nikon d5000

  • LiveView allows you to view the subject on the LCD versus the viewfinder.

    :)

  • If I'm not mistaken live view is being able to see the picture your about to take in the LCD screen instead of only in the viewfinder. Someone else correct me if I'm wrong...

  • @DubaiNoob i ask if you have a cannon to begin with why get a nikon as well. you will than need two lense mount types and such.

  • What a corporate douche; 'the d5000's plus is the video mode'. The video mode is awful, on both the d5000 and the d90. I wish they didn't put that carp in there, and instead put a couple more function buttons on the outside.

  • You're an idiot the D5000 HD video quality is really good, the only thing is that auto focus it lacks but that ok. Learn to use it and it rules.

  • @neftyjac get the d5000 its the cheaper out of the two also, it has the largest image sensor size inside the olympus is the smaller out of the two, and the nikons menu system seems to be easier, i wanted the olympus but it takes either compact flash, which sucks because that shit is old and gay, or xd memory card which also suck cock and are slow so stick with the d5000 and you will be happy or i will you give your money back

  • good video

  • Pabarats... are you insane? or payed writer for others? Have you ever used a DSLR? I doubt. Pity on your craps...

  • does it have a pause button for movie mode?

  • when youre reviewing your clip you just shot, you can pause it and also frame by frame.

  • @WomanAbuser what I meant was, during the recording

  • im really getting a hard time about deciding which camera should i buy im thinking about nikon d5000, canon EOS 500 and the olympus E-620 i really would like some recommendations....

  • @neftyjac Keep saving and get the D90, i went for the D5000 and wish i'd waited

  • @neftyjac me too.. tell me if somebody told you their recommendations. Thanks

  • @neftyjac i have both th nikon d5000 and the cannon 500 i recommend the nikon because it is much more btter made and to me the picture quality is better, recommendation: if you are going to get a dslr NEVER get any camera other than nikon or cannon. take it from an experienced photographer

  • @neftyjac Nikon D5000 OFC, not just because it has a lower price, but also because it has NIKKOR. :)

  • @neftyjac get the nikon d5000 i've had for 8 months and love it.. its great.. you can see some photos i've taken with it in my flickr acct (flickr username veronikaa) hope it helped :)

  • @veronikkaa i really like ur photography

  • @neek247 thanks ;) have you made a decision yet?

  • @veronikkaa im hoping to get my hands on this =D

  • @neek247 hahaha.. great! :D

  • @veronikkaa are all your photos on flickr done with that camera?

  • @neek247 yep... well, all the ones taken after August 2009...

  • @veronikkaa are u using the lens that comes with the camera or something else? the one im getting comes with a 18-55mm VR lens

  • @neek247 the first ones i took yes,.. but i bought a nikkor 50mm f/1.8 lens... so the latest pics were take with that one..

  • @veronikkaa what would be the name of that photo?

  • @neek247 which one?

  • @veronikkaa the photo taken with the normal lens that comes with the camera the 18-55mm

  • @neek247 basically all the photos taken from august 2009 until dec 15, 2009 were with the 18-55 mm lens... all the photos after that were with the 50mm f/1.8

  • @veronikkaa alright, if your didnt notice im kind of a beginner this will be the first dslr camera =P

  • @neek247 haha.. it's ok.. this is my first dslr camera too ;)

  • @veronikkaa whats the difference between lens i mean the higher i go like 18-105mm i think its called whats the difference, what does it do?

  • @neek247 zoom

  • @veronikkaa oh ok, so it has nothing to do with macro?

  • @neek247 for macro you just zoom in a lot..

  • @veronikkaa thanks =D you have helped a lot

  • @neek247 haha, no problem ;)

  • @neftyjac i will go for olympus because they are like the pros at making DSLR's. canon and nikon are also good but the reason thy are used more is because they are heavily marketed.

  • @neftyjac How about Pentax K5?

  • This model is defective it suffers a suden dead sydrom, it means one day all of sudenly will not switch on. Also the autofocus in Live View is not fuctioning and you will lose the chance to take great photos if you try to use it in critical photographic moments. Shame to Nikon for selling a product that knows is defective. According to Chinese rumors there are more defective models ( all new models) this model I know by sure that i
