Nikon D5000 12.3 MP DX Digital SLR Camera with 2.7-inch Vari-angle LCD (Body Only)

I have yet to try it but from what I see it my be what I was looking for. I got it mainly to use on my telescope. When we get a clear evening again (NW weather) Ill be able to see if it works better than my other DSLR camera. Tried it after getting a lens for it. It worked great even being a used camera. It has some interesting features. Lots to explore and see what there is to use. Very clear photos.

I have had the camera in my hands for five days. It does so much more than my old Nikon FN. The Tamron lens that I matched with the camera is a great combination 18-250. I have super light sensitive shots of friends and objects. Nature provides nice light contrast as well! The user manual is full of examples and cross-references to get you going. I really like the heft and placement of the controls of this camera. I have had photography classes and darkroom experiences. I am Adobe Photoshop experienced, as well. This is going to be an exciting adventure in photography. Give Nikon a try. The few extra bucks for the name is part of the end result. The lens you buy makes a difference as well.

Bought this as a replacement for our oldest daughter who took a nasty fall and managed to actually break a Nikon camera. Plenty of megapixels and easy to use in manual mode. If you do your part, this Nikon will do its and youll have excellent pictures.
