Nikon D5000 Digital SLR Camera Kit with 18-55mm VR Lens

The Nikon D5000 is a compact DX-format DSLR camera featuring a 12.3MP CMOS sensor and Nikon’s EXPEED image processor. Designed for photographers looking for a versatile camera for everyday photography, portraits, travel, and creative shooting, the D5000 combines DSLR image quality with a variety of automatic and manual controls.

The camera features an 11-point autofocus system with 3D Focus Tracking to help maintain focus on moving subjects. Continuous shooting at up to 4 fps provides additional flexibility when photographing action, while an ISO range of 200-3200, expandable from ISO 100-6400, allows the camera to adapt to a variety of lighting conditions.

A 2.7-inch vari-angle LCD provides additional flexibility when composing from high, low, and unconventional shooting positions. Live View allows images to be composed directly through the LCD rather than exclusively through the optical viewfinder, making the camera more convenient for certain shooting situations.

The D5000 also features Nikon’s D-Movie mode for recording HD 720p video at 24 fps with sound. Multiple video resolutions are available, and the camera’s compatibility with interchangeable Nikon lenses provides additional creative flexibility when recording video.

For still photography, the D5000 supports JPEG, RAW, and RAW+JPEG image capture. A selection of automatic scene modes is available for straightforward shooting, while Program, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, and Manual exposure modes provide greater control for more advanced photographers. Built-in image-editing features and Nikon’s multi-stage dust reduction system provide additional functionality directly within the camera.

Included with the camera is the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens. Designed for DX-format cameras, the lens provides an approximately 27-82.5mm equivalent focal length range, making it suitable for everyday photography, landscapes, portraits, and general-purpose shooting. Nikon’s Vibration Reduction technology helps minimize the effects of camera shake when shooting handheld.

The Nikon D5000 is optimized for use with Nikon AF-S and AF-I lenses. Compatibility and autofocus functionality may vary when using older Nikon F-mount lenses, so buyers should verify compatibility when pairing the camera with other lenses.

– Condition Note:
There are some visible scratches on the camera’s LCD screen as well as cosmetic scratches and wear on the exterior of the lens.
