Nikon D5000 DSLR Camera (Body Only)
The Nikon D5000 is a versatile and feature-rich DX-format DSLR that brings professional-level imaging technology to a compact, user-friendly body. Borrowing the high-performance 12.3MP CMOS sensor from the acclaimed D90, the D5000 delivers exceptional image clarity and low-noise performance. As the first Nikon DSLR to feature a Vari-angle LCD screen, it offers unparalleled creative freedom, allowing you to capture stills and HD video from unique perspectives with ease.

Creative Flexibility & High-Resolution Imaging
12.3MP DX-Format Sensor: This high-resolution sensor provides incredible detail and the ability to produce sharp, poster-sized prints. Paired with the EXPEED image processor, it ensures rich tonal gradations and accurate color reproduction.

Vari-Angle 2.7″ LCD: The 230,000-dot flip-down and swivel monitor allows you to compose shots from high above the crowd, at ground level, or even flip it around for easy self-portraits and vlogging.

HD D-Movie Mode: Record 720p High-Definition video at 24 fps with sound. By utilizing Nikon’s vast array of NIKKOR lenses, you can achieve cinematic shallow depth-of-field and creative perspectives that traditional camcorders can’t match.

Live View with Contrast-AF: Compose your images in real-time on the LCD. The Live View system includes advanced Face Detection and subject tracking to ensure your focal point remains sharp even as the scene changes.

Fast Performance & Advanced Features
11-Point AF System: Featuring Nikon’s 3D Color Matrix Metering II and 11-point autofocus, the D5000 tracks moving subjects with precision. Whether shooting sports or erratic pets, the focus stays locked on the action.

High Sensitivity (ISO 100–6400): Shoot confidently in low light. The native ISO range of 200–3200 is expandable to ISO 100 or up to ISO 6400 (Hi-1), allowing for clean handheld shooting in dim environments.

4 fps Burst Shooting: Never miss the decisive moment with a continuous shooting rate of 4 frames per second, perfect for capturing fast-paced action.

In-Camera Retouch Menu: Edit your photos instantly without a computer. The built-in software allows for distortion control, red-eye reduction, image overlay, and shadow recovery (D-Lighting) directly on the camera.

Reliable & Intelligent Design
Integrated Dust Reduction: A 3-tier dust-removal system uses airflow control and an ultrasonic vibrating sensor filter to keep the imaging sensor clean, ensuring your photos are free from spots.

19 Scene Modes: Choose from nearly 20 pre-set exposure modes—including Portrait, Landscape, and Night Silhouette—to get perfect settings for common shooting situations instantly.

Lens Compatibility: Optimized for use with AF-S and AF-I NIKKOR lenses, ensuring fast and quiet autofocus performance.

GPS Ready: Compatible with the optional GP-1 unit, allowing you to geotag your images with precise location coordinates for travel and archival purposes.
