According to what many might (rightly) state, this is perhaps the best time to pursue photography as a career as well as a hobby. New variants of cameras are being introduced in the market, DSLRs have begun to come in all sizes, some that actually the average man’s pocket and so on. One such entry level DSLR that is made for the first time users is the Nikon DSLR D5000. It comes with a resolution of 12.3mp and a normal kit lens of range 18mm to 35mm.
Design and FunctioningThough sturdy and touch, with a magnesium alloy body which any good DSLR will boast of, Nikon DSLR D5000 weighs hardly half a kilogram, lighter than one of its predecessors, Nikon DSLR D90, which was touted as rather bulky. One of the features that renders its user friendliness is the swivel or tilt LCD screen which can be rotated to suit the needs of the user. This camera comes with the Image Sensor Cleaning technology that allows the user to press just one button to clean the dust particles on the CMOS sensor. It also offers shutter speeds ranging from a minimum of 30 seconds to a maximum of 1/4000th of a second. Its Advanced Scene shooting modes also include Autumn Colours, High Key, Low key, Silhouette, Dawn/Dusk apart from the normal Night Landscape, Portrait, Party, Pet Portrait and so on. It is compatible with SD and SDHC cards for storage.
