Nikon D5000 is a great Digital Camera!
We have had our Nikon D5000 for about four or five years now and really enjoy using it. We purchased it because we had a 1-year-old boy who never stopped moving and we could not get any decent pictures of him with a regular point-and-shoot camera. He was already onto the next thing before the flash would snap. With the Nikon D5000, the pictures take instantly and the quality is superb. I have not even really learned how to use all the settings yet, but even still our pictures always turn out great. Ours came with the extra 18-55 mm lens which takes really great pictures if you need a decent zoom. The package deal that we got was a great value, and I would definitely recommend a Nikon to anyone looking to upgrade their camera. It is easy to get the hang of taking pictures and videos and has a great user manual that will help you out. One other good thing about this digital camera is that you can choose the manual setting and adjust the exposure based on your setting. I would definitely buy another Nikon if anything ever happened to this one. Portability The only downside to any digital camera like this is that it is bulky and hard to just bring along anywhere.
