review Nikon D5000 , analisys

The writer is a Nikon D5000 digital SLR users, so it was not the intention that this DSLR capability over from another rival, but this is a desire to share information to the reader because the writer as one of the use of a DSLR, so the reader can use as reference material in terms of choosing a DSLR start of ability until funds are available of course. May be useful for the reader.

After saving the old weigh and I finally decided to woo D5000 nikon 18-55 kit lens with VR with dowry 6.100 rb rupiah, the price is not cheap for unemployed like me but what can I say desperate and dying well had already purchased it than not can ngak sleep: D. Earlier I compared the Nikon D90 and Canon EOS 550D, but due to my budget that is not enough to get two rival tuk this camera, which will only be used only as a hobby. After trying and a slingshot with its kit lens I think the results are good (opinion of newbie snap) now out of curiosity with other entry level so I tried Nikon D5000, hm .... The first impression quite tempting. Nikon D5000 on hold more mantab because of its size slightly larger daripadan nikon D3000 and really fits my hand a rather wide: D.

Then also consider lens compatibility. Nikon D5000 only supports the lens Nikon AF-S-coded because it uses technology SWM motor (Silent Wave Motor and because there are lenses in a special motor, the price is also quite expensive lens from the lens model of its predecessor (such bekode AF only). Although many new lenses have AF-S, but many also legendary Nikon lenses that do not have these things like the lens of prime / non-50mm f/1.8 zoom like the prices are relatively cheap but high-performing compared to other Nikon lenses. Even though your still could use these lenses, but you had to use manual focus.

In addition to technical issues, emotional issues or other influence. For example, pengangan (grip) Nikon feels more comfortable in the hand, or the location of the buttons and the design feels more fitting Canon hearts.



The things that are still the same (or a slight increase / decrease) of the precursor (Nikon D60) are:

* Design of body: small, lightweight, plastic material, with size 127 x 104 x 80 mm and 55 grams heavier than the D60.
* Without a focus motor in the body: yes, like the D40/D60, lenses that can autofocus on the D5000 is just the lens with the AF motor like Nikon AF-S or Sigma HSM.
* Using the same kit lens as D60: AF-S 18-55mm VR (on the D90 kit lens AF-S 18-105mm VR).
* Module light meter: 420-segment RGB, still the same as D60 and D90 even though (for the upper class module with a 1005-segment RGB is only in the D300, D700 and D3).
* Use a mirror viewfinder (0.78 x, 95% coverage) that is not as bright viewfinder prism type as found in D90.
* No top LCD status and only one dial-wheel near the thumb (on the D90 there are two dial-wheel).
* Internal flash with a GN of 12 and able to sync up to 1 / 200 sec (still superior to D40 with 1 / 500 second) and now the D5000 supports bracketing feature.

select D60 or D5000?

* D60 later authors believe the price will go down (currently D60 price is too high in the range of 7 million) and if the limited funds of D60 is a more rational choice
* D60 is very good for basic photography needs (10 MP, 3 fps, 3 point AF) and already has Active D-lighting feature and the anti dust on the sensor
* D5000 is superior in movie mode, live-view LCD screen and if you feel the need to
* D5000 clearly won a landslide victory in the age of the shutter, 11 point AF and 4 fps burst, that's the most important in my opinion

select D90 or D5000?

* D5000 will be sold around 2 million cheaper than the D90, so depending on your funds
* D5000 are both wearing 12 MP CMOS sensor, 11 point AF and 12-bit engine, so the results of both are the same photos
* D5000 superior on-screen as much, if you need
* D90 excel in focus motor in the body, if you have a lot of older Nikon lenses of course need the AF motor in the body, it is a major in my opinion
* D90 excels in other aspects such as the viewfinder prism, a 3-inch LCD screen resolution of 920 thousand pixels, 4.5 fps Burst, wireless flash and accessories support the official Nikon battery grip.


Conclusion

For users who want to transition to a compact digital SLR, the Nikon D5000 may be more bridge. Hopefully this information helps, greetings ingatarfan.blogspot.
