Index of Nikon D5000 Expert Reviews
- DCResource—“This is a very nice digital SLR that takes most of the good stuff from the D90 and puts it into a more compact, less expensive body. The D5000 doesn’t support autofocus on that many lenses, so if you have a collection of older Nikkor glass, you may want to consider stepping up to the D90 (it’s only about $170 more). If you’re just getting into digital SLRs and can’t decide whether to go with Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Olympus, or Sony, that’s a tougher question. Each camera has its own advantages and disadvantages, so read as many reviews as you can, and see which one works best for you!”
- Imaging Resource—”What’s certain is the Nikon D5000’s ability to make superb still images. Its optical viewfinder is a pleasure to use, and you’ll get more straight horizon lines thanks to the built-in grid. The shutter sound is quiet, and single-point AF speeds are fast. For the consumer shooter wanting to move up in terms of functionality and image quality, and still have the familiar interface of the D40/D60 range, the Nikon D5000 is an excellent choice.”
- About.com—“The D5000 is one of the best entry-level DSLR cameras I’ve had the chance to use. Much of the technology behind the D5000 is based on the Nikon D300, which is a slightly older, much more expensive DSLR camera. For that technology to have trickled down to the D5000 already is beneficial for beginning and intermediate photographers.”

It’s a Nikon and as such it’s a great camera and offers excellent value. I’ve only taken a few hundred pictures so far but the number of bad or unacceptables are few. Love the screen flip and fold and looking forward to adding lenses to explore it’s capability.
