Although in some cases, you can detect some shadow noise even in photographs taken at relatively low ISOs, it does not have much of an impact on the final output up to, and including, ISO 1600. From here you can also see the two raised tabs for pulling the articulating screen out from the body. The movie may record the noise of the zoom ring to an extent, depending on which lens you're using and how fast you zoom, but it's still pretty impressive.

Shooting in D-Movie mode is another time I'd have preferred to shoot on a tripod with the Nikon D5000. This is a selection of sample images from the Nikon D5000 camera, which were all taken using the 12. The Nikon D5000 is the company’s latest 'upper-entry-level' DSLR aimed at beginners or those wanting a step-up from a basic budget model.Amsterdam, the Netherlands, 14th April 2009 - Nikon Europe is pleased to announce the introduction of a new DSLR for the hobbyist and for family fun: the D5000. Packed with features that make taking pictures easy and fun, this camera stands out above the competition with its unique vari-angle LCD monitor, which allows you to shoot easily from any angle you can imagine.

The overall control layout and 'philosophy' of the Nikon D5000 has more in common with the likes of the D40 and the D60 than the D90. Sony is bringing a shutter angle setting to its two more affordable alpha-branded Cinema Line cameras, the FX3 and FX30, with a firmware update. You can set the file quality and image resolution, white balance, ISO sensitivity, drive mode (including continuous shooting at 4 frames per second), AF mode, AF area mode, metering mode, Active D-lighting, bracketing, picture control and [flash] exposure compensation. Other features from the D90 make it into the Nikon D5000, including Auto Active D-Lighting, In-camera retouching, and Picture Control.

With most of the necessary usability comments now out of the way, we can get on to what I regard as the good news: The Nikon D5000 is an excellent image maker. Swinging down and flipping the LCD is counter-intuitive to me, because it turns the wrong way for easy left-hand operation. Current SD cards provide plenty of storage, and modern SD cards are quite fast, if not quite up to the level of the latest UDMA CompactFlash cards.
