The editors didn't like

  • No autofocus with video
  • Low-res LCD
  • A bit too small
  • Buttons crowded and reduced.
  • Limited video shooting modes
  • Typical DSLR ergonomics and audio issues.
  • Prepare to miss some great shots while you dig though multiple screens to make adjustments. Menus use ambiguous sample photos instead of words

  • Good exposure control; flip-out LCD is useful for low- and high-angle work; shoots video.
  • Handgrip is a little small; still no autofocus when shooting video.
  • The D5000 comes in at a lower price point and offers everything you’d expect in a modern DSLR, putting in a lot for the price you pay. I’m not too happy about the much-reduced grip and the fact you can’t easily flip the LCD to face forwa...

  • Pantalla de ángulo variable, graba video en Alta Definición y tiene salida HDMI
  • La duración de los videos está limitada, el autoenfoque no funciona en video y su precio es ligeramente elevado
  • La Nikon D5000 es perfecta para los profesionales de la fotografía que ven con coraje como las cámaras compactas reciben mejora tras mejora y que hasta ahora no se veían en equipos de este nivel. La pantalla de ángulo variable, la detección de rostros ...

  • Bonne qualité des images, même en haute sensibilité, Reflex globalement réactif (mise en route, autofocus), Boîtier assez compact et léger, Bonne autonomie de l'appareil, Ecran LCD monté sur rotule
  • Interface et menus encore trop complexes, Visée optique étroite, Mode vidéo 720p bridé, Définition un peu juste de l'écran LCD pour une mise au point manuelle, Autofocus trop lent en visée directe
  • Le Nikon D5000 (avec le 18-55 mm f/3,-5,6 VR) est un bon reflex capable d'excellentes photos en mode tout automatique et du meilleur si l'on ose s'aventurer dans les menus. Intéressants, l'écran rotatif et le mode vidéo 720p...

  • Abstract:  6 mois après le lancement du D90, premier reflex à proposer un mode vidéo (HD 720p qui plus est), Nikon récidive avec le D5000. Postionné entre le D90 et le D60 (test), le nouveau reflex D5000 se caractérise par une électronique assez haut de gamme h...
