Nikon d5000

A few months back Mr M bought me a Nikon D5000 DSLR camera. I had wanted one for a while but wasn't sure which one to get, I wanted a good reliable camera that would be easy to use for a new but keen photographer but not one I would get bored off within a year.
After months of research we settled for the Nikon D5000.



So what are the features of the Nikon D5000 I hear you ask me.

Well in simple terms the camera has a 12.9 mega pixel sensor, the LCD monitor is 2.7" wide with a tilt and swivel function which makes it perfect for taking pics from above  when in a crowd, especially if your not very tall like me :) It has the ability to detect faces as well as track subjects, this is perfect when trying to capture young kids. There is an image sensor cleaning as well as an extensive built in picture retouching process which includes raw development and straightening. The D5000 now has a new battery with increased capacity and finally a 72 thumbnail and calendar view in playback which shows the images taken respective of the dates.

This is a very simple review of the camera just highlighting a few of the key features, for a more detailed review why not have a look at Nikon's homepage or Wikipedia.

I will be putting up some pictures I have taken with my camera throughout the last couple of months to show the picture quality and my photography skills, I'm hoping the latter will increase with practice!

What cameras do you guys use?
