 "Great Camera!" 
By, E. Sumner (CT USA)

"Great Camera. If you are new to the DSLR game (like myself) or you are upgrading and you can fork up the cash, it is definitely worth it. It has a very concise, simple, and easy to use interface, the buttons are very well placed, and the swivel LCD is very nice and useful in certain situations (I really like how it folds inwards to protect the screen). My main purpose for this camera is still photos so the video is a cool bonus and is surprisingly better than I thought (though if you are looking to do serious HD video, I'd go for an HD camcorder or something else instead).

The D5000 is essentially a D90 squeezed into a smaller lighter body (of course it lacks the internal AF motor, doesn't have as good a grip, and has a slightly smaller pentamirror viewfinder instead of the pentaprism in the D90 - all of this amongst a few other things, but hey it's cheaper for a reason - also it is mentionable that the D5000 has an additional live view mode, a few more in camera editing tools, and more scene modes compared to the D90 - all useful for someone new to the DSLR in the sense that you can learn from them or just use them to make your life easier and your photos look great. So far I love it. It is simple to use and great for those new to the DSLR realm, but it also packs enough punch for those looking to upgrade and will give newcomers much room to learn and grow with it."

"Compact, great feature set, great low light image capture, good video capture!" 
By, Brian (Austin, TX United States)

"Perfect for the vacationer or hobbyist. The lack of an auto focus motor in the body is a non issue for most users. Video capture is good but it is not a replacement for a real HD video capture device. Image quality is superb, camera response time is excellent. If you are upgrading from a point and shoot you'll enjoy the vast improvements. I recently took this to Switzerland on vacation and shot over 2000 shots and was very happy with the outcome. On board image editing is handy and surprisingly useful. If you are looking for a compact feature rich SLR, this is it. The sensor/image processing package is superb and the compact body is about as pleasant as an SLR can be to handle."
