    I chose the D5000, originally bc I wanted live view, over the D3000. Now I’m glad I did, thanks to the many extra features the D5000 offers.

    Well, I just got a Nikon D5000 and it’s a great camera. Especially coz I can also make profesional looking YouTube videos with it because of the good lenses and HD format (not true HD but 1280 by 720 pix) and it does timelapse photography which I love. Those were the main reasons for me to go for the Nikon besides the good picture quality. It is less easy to use than a Canon but hey… it’s a Nikon!! Makers of the D3s, best pro camera in the world.

    To get auto-focus on the D5000 you have to use AF-S DX lenses only. You can still use AF and AI lenses but you will have to manually focus. D5000 and below Nikon DSLR’s do not have a focus motor (turns a screw) built in.

    I would go for Nikon at the moment. Don’t get a rebel. Your are really limiting yourself with a rebel. Nikon is leading the field in high ISO, color rendition, and focus. My opinion (and that’s all it is) is who cares about video on an SLR camera? My D90 has it, and I NEVER use the video feature. And all the newer Nikons are using CMOS now anyway.

    I never regret buying a d5000 over canon 500d, makes me wonder now why canon release a newer version, the 550D.

    still my favorite is the d700 its not too expensive like the D3s and its great. i had a nikon d90 and really i think all of this filming etc is unnecessary, i never used it.

    Is there any problem with the screen? since its can rotate I wonder if it got any problem eg. wiring problem, easy to break etc. )

    I bought this camera and have never been happier i love the ISO range and im personally a beginner and this camera really helps me with aperture and shutter speed. one down fall is somtimes you get used to just seeing the display screen on whats happening on the inside and you end up forgetting the the numbers are and i am more used to seeing the screen for settings instead of just knowing the numbers. i still love this camera
