Nikon D5000

[Standard]

Rex, you might want to check out Ken Rockwell's site... He's got a lot of very useful information that's kind of dumbed down for non-professional photographers that I've found to be very helpful. This may be useful for you: http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d5000.htm

Thanks for the link Shaun, I passed it on to my daughter who is shooting a D40 which we bought her for a high school graduation present.

Nice shot I use a D200.

I prefer Panasonic, Olympus or Pentax when it comes to DSLR's, but Nikon hit a sweet spot with the D5000. I did not like the D40 or D80 series in comparison to the D70, but the D5000 has redeemed them in my eyes.

Oh, how I love me some Nikon. One of these days I'll actually invest in a digital version. Until that time, I'm stuck in the stone age with my F3. What can I say? It's built like a tank and will never let me down.

Ah yes - Ken Rockwell - the man Nikon owners love to hate...
