![]() ![]() You can easily compose shots with the camera held high above your head (angle the LCD down).When paired with the live view mode, this flexible LCD provides a lot of versatility: The LCD screen flips out from the camera body and pivots by 180°. The key feature on the D5000 is readily apparent the moment you see the camera: Maximum shutter speed of 1/4000th of a second.Compatible with Nikon AF-S and AF-I lenses.Let's kick off this Nikon D5000 guide with a quick overview of this camera's main features. Sure - if you attach a massive lens it's going take up a bit of space - but if you stick with the standard 18-55mm kit lens you can haul along the D5000 with you wherever you go. What's impressive is that all this functionality comes packaged in a camera that's both small and light, making this camera much more portable than the larger D90. This puts some of the advanced features that the D90 has to offer - video mode, 11-point autofocus, fast continuous shot rate - into the hands of photographers on a budget. Perhaps best of all, Nikon dramatically dropped the price on the D5000 - while it's not quite as affordable as a D60, it's not nearly as expensive as a D90. The other noteworthy feature on the D5000 is the video capture mode, making it the second Nikon digital SLR that has it (the D90 was the first). It borrows its features from both the D60 or the D90 and throws in one of its own: a flip and twist LCD (more on this in a moment). In order to write this Nikon D5000 Guide, I had to blend two other previous guides together: my Nikon D60 Guide and the Nikon D90 Guide.Īnd that's because this is what the D5000 is: a blend. ![]()
