Nikon D5000 Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)

The Nikon D5000 is a versatile, lightweight DX-format DSLR that brings high-end imaging features and HD video recording into a compact, entry-level camera body. Featuring the same 12.3-megapixel CMOS sensor and EXPEED image processor found in the higher-tier D90, it delivers sharp image quality, excellent dynamic range, and reliable low-noise performance up to ISO 6400 (expanded). The D5000 stands out as Nikon’s first DSLR equipped with a 2.7″ vari-angle LCD screen, allowing easy Live View composition and 720p HD D-Movie capture from creative high or low shooting angles. An 11-point autofocus system with 3D Focus Tracking and 3D Color Matrix II metering round out a solid feature set for everyday and travel photography.
