 Great Camera July 29, 2010
Chi-Hao Hu (MC CALLA, AL, US)
Let me start off by saying this is my first DSLR. I wanted to be able to take great pictures of my newborn + I wanted get into amature photography. DSLR have always seemed a bit intimidating but once you take the time to check out the features and read some of the manual (I'd be lying if I said I read the whole thing) it all comes together and the results are great pictures.
Mine came with the 18-55mm and its definitely does a great job. I eventually added a 55-200mm and a fixed 35mm lens to my bag. The one thing to know about this camera when it comes to upgrading your lens is that the D5000 does not have an auto-focus motor IN the camera. You'll need to get a lens that has the AF-S motor built into the lens. This is a very important detail. If you're buying a lens, make sure it says DX and AF-S.
The HD video capabilities have been a great and useful feature of this camera. I've taken tons of video of my newborn in 740p. Be sure to go into your video menu and actually select 740p. For a while I was wondering why my videos weren't looking so great. It helps to read the manual :)
Another thing about recording video. You won't be able to auto focus while recording. You'll have to focus first, then record. Otherwise you'll have to set it to manual focus and adjust on the fly. I just record from a fixed position.
For a beginner like me, the camera has a wide range of preset options from standard portrait, to pet portrait, food setting, sports setting and many more. It also has manual settings that you can customize. I'm glad to say I've moved from preset to manual in just a couple months.
Overall, I have been completely satisfied with this purchase. Its probably the first time I've bought something and didn't have buyer's remorse. If you purchase this camera, take the time to learn about its nifty features.
Great Camera!!! July 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. Yeah don't go with the kit lens though.
Great Purchase July 26, 2010

I bought this for myself as a birthday present. I'd used a Nikon CoolPix for many years, and decided to upgrade to a DSLR. I've always liked Nikons, but I have used my mom's Olympus DSLR and really liked the extra features and manual capabilities. I'd researched the D5000, D3000 and comparable Cannon cameras. In the end, I liked the quality of the Nikon's photos based on side-by-side comparisons. I've only had it for a little over a month, but my shots are so much better. I've got a good eye as far as my subject is concerned, but I was frustrated with the quality of my older camera. Now I see things I never saw before! The shutter speed is incredible. I haven't had a chance to use all of the features, but even on the automatic setting, the image quality is so much better. I will update this review after I've had a chance to use it more.
I received my camera earlier than forecasted and was very happy. I didn't have to wait the 10 days to receive my camera. Overall, I'm a pretty happy customer.

I bought this camera as a gift, and used it very little myself, but it is incredibly easy to use, and understand in the little time i had it in my hands, it is obviously a camera not for point and shoot, but for professional picture taking, however i would have to add to this I suppose when i hear from the owner of this camera!
