Nikon D5000 Review : Nikon D5000 Conclusion Part 5

Conclusion :

Digital SLRs keep getting better and better. The truth is, there hasn’t been a bad digital SLR for a few years now. Because they’re so good, I’m becoming more and more of an advocate of less expensive bodies. Most photographers don’t need a full frame sensor or a pro-level build. Features like frame rate and moisture-sealing are over-hyped in my opinion. The Nikon D5000 is exactly the kind of digital SLR most photographers should be buying. It offers great performance, excellent image quality, solid features and a couple bonuses – HD video and the tilt-swivel LCD. The D5000 is more camera than most people will ever need. And if you’re reading this and thinking, “But Photo-John, how am I going to spend all of my $2000 camera budget?” — no problem. Spend it on lenses. A professional zoom lens or two will do more for most photographers than a better body could. When you find your camera is getting in the way, then upgrade. The D5000 is an incredible camera – especially when you consider the $730 price tag. Buy a better lens, like the Nikon AF-S 18-200mm. the AF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 VR or if you really wanna go big, the AF-S 70-200 f/2.8 VR lens. and you’ll be shooting the kids’ soccer games like a pro
