Nikon D5000 12.3 MP DX Digital SLR Camera user reviews

    "Great reviews of Digital Cameras are everywhere on the internet. [...]

Just about any digital camera review site has a Nikon D5000 Digital SLR Review that raves about this feature packed new denizen of digital cameras. The very first thing that is usually noticed is the flip out LCD screen, something amateur and professional photographers have been waiting for with bated breath. Up to this point Nikon had left this feature out of their DSLR product lineup. This is the first appearance of such a screen on a Nikon compact high definition digital camera and it is causing great excitement in the photography community. "

    "I have D50,D80 and now this D5000, what a huge difference of the image quality to high ISO low light situation. 3200 ISO,night time, no flash,indoor, available light only, came out very clean no noise and sharp photos.I used the kit lens and tamron 18-270mm VC lens and both were impressive, excellent results.
Anyways i used the Epson picturemate flash photo printer to print pics to see if it is really good.

this is an excellent camera, same sensor as the D300 and D90 so they all have the same image quality, the size is so small and i love it. "

    "There seems to be a very basic and annoying problem with the swivel screen LCD. With the hinge on the bottom instead of the left side, it seems like the movement will be restricted when the camera is mounted on a tripod. It would not be possible to take self portraits using the LCD screen using a tripod with this design, for example.

A screen that opens to the left will have a full range of motion. Plenty of other cameras have it, and it's mind boggling that Nikon hasn't figured this out! "
