The well-known camera manufacturer Nikon has the latest model from the D5000 series of digital SLRs.

The particularity of this model is an opening, tilting and rotating 2.7-inch LCD monitor. The difference to normal SLR cameras is obvious to the desired angle to photograph it is no longer behind the camera.

The camera has 12.3 megapixels, and allows recording of detailed images. In addition, a motif detection supported exposure control, an auto white balance and contributed to the fact that before releasing the shutter a perfectly exposed and sharp image.

This allows for considerable flexibility of the ISO sensitivity (200-3.200), of up to ISO 6400 and down to ISO 100 is expandable.

The model has 19 standardized motif programs that automatically adjust the camera settings and qualitative images. The image menu allows images with the help of a little surprising range of photo effects such as: Perspective Correction, Soft Focus and Farbkontur, in the camera to edit and improve.

The latest model from the house of Nikon also has small but special modes. Display options such as a calendar view, with the pictures and movies by date and time to sort or special “geotagged” such as information about the location and longitude and latitude are displayed in the image file.

There is also a HDTV compatibility where. An integrated HDMI connector (High Definition Multimedia Interface) can share photos and movies on HDTV equipment will be displayed.
Conclusion
nikon-d5000The Nikon D5000 is technically a sophisticated camera, with lovers from different perspectives and unusual angles can have a lot of joy. The target audience of families and amateur photographers with a starting price of around € 750 without a lens, where they start in the upper area, have little joy.

It seems as Nikon answer to Canon who just introduced Canon EOS 500D, a reflex camera entry category with Full-HD video function. Nikon can not ask a long and sends D5000 into the race for the favor of the buyer.

Unlike Canon model, the Nikon D5000 videos “just” in HD. It means 1,280 x 720 pixels resolutions at 24 frames per second, and only with manual focus tracking record. But this raises the Nikon model by rotating and tiltable 2.7 “-LiveView display from the competition. Practically, if you like photographing from unusual perspectives and is not overly crick wants.

As with the D40 or the D60 was also in the D5000 to a Nikon autofocus motor built waived. Therefore, the autofocus works only with new Nikon lenses, the AF on an integrated engine available. If you use older lenses without AF-motor, must be precisely focus manually. In manual focus the D5000 incidentally reached a maximum speed image series of up to 4 frames per second at full resolution.

The operation is beginner friendly. If the photographer a selected function is unclear should be provided by the pressing of the Help key a brief statement. In addition to the SLR-type manual settings, the Nikon D5000 also whole motif 19 programs and some image processing functions (eg, a perspective correction) to offer.

Beginning in May 2009, the D5000 in the trade. If you do not have to wait that long, we recommend to our test scores to look at Nikon D90. Also, the D90 can be a similar price with an HD video feature wait. While the display is its non-rotating and swiveling it offers with the larger screen size of 3 inches and higher resolution of 920,000 pixels, but a better picture.
