Advanced Amateur Photographers - Nikon D3000 Or D5000 Review

The choice you have involves the Nikon D3000 vs Nikon D5000

The Nikon D3000 is the newest camera release in this category. It is a bare-bones DSLR that takes great pictures. The reason photographers move up to this level of cameras is so they can have the ability to change lenses and take better pictures than they can with a point and shoot camera. The D3000 definitely fills that need.

It also sports a 10.2 megapixel image sensor with Nikon's exclusive EXPEED image processing system. All in all, it is a very capable camera and will give images as good as any camera in its class. The really great feature is the price. It is the cheapest DSLR on the market. Perhaps that is why Nikon left off some of the other features that are becoming common in digital slr cameras.

The Nikon D5000 is more of a full-featured camera. It has a 12.3 megapixel image sensor with the EXPEED image processing system. Other features that are either better or not even included on the D3000 are an articulating LCD so the photo can be framed from unusual perspectives, D-SLR Movie function, 19 scene modes (vs only 6 on the cheaper model), and Live View which includes face priority auto focus and subject tracking.

From a practical standpoint, the Nikon D5000 will be very comfortable for someone who has been using an advanced point and shoot camera because of the Video capability and the Live View. Both of these features are available on all of the newer compact digital cameras.
