Consider your budget, know the limitations of the D5000 (no buil-in AF motor), and choose wisely. Try out the cameras from Canon, Sony, Olympus and Pentax too. The D5000 is a very simple cam, but for the same money you can get more powerful options.
maybe you can let me know for that kind of price which are the few models that have more powerful that i can choose.
thanks
Hi all, i am into this new hobby in photography and very keen to get a nikon D5000 but need some advice is it a good model for newbie?
Pls advice me thanks alot.
Truthfully, any camera is good for a newbie, even the high end D3s.
But it's a question of whether you can master the basics and apply it when taking the shots.
I nearly bought it, but because I didn't like the grip, ended up buying the Canon instead. So, it's a matter of ergonomics ... you have to like the camera in terms of grip and holding, as you'll be the one walking around with it in your grip.
Cheers!
