Nikon D5000 12.3 MP Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Telephoto Zoom Lens
The D5000’s 24-fps HD D-Movie mode with sound captures video clips with amazing clarity–offering new and exciting creative opportunities. Fast, accurate 11-point autofocus with 3D Tracking, teamed with famous NIKKOR optics, assures incredible image sharpness, while active image sensor cleaning combats annoying dust automatically. Featuring a convenient built-in flash, 19 automatic exposure Scene Modes to make the impossible easy and 23 Custom Setting options to fit your preferences, as well as 14 in-camera image retouching functions, the D5000 is the perfect DSLR, beginning with performance to meet your picture-taking tomorrows.
As I mentioned in my article and video, First Impressions After Shooting The D5000 For A Few Days, most online sources have indicated that the Nikon D5000 has about a stop better high ISO performance than the Nikon D300. In addition, the consensus also seems to be that the D5000 has better detail at higher ISO settings than the D300.
To get a feel for how the D5000 handles at high ISO, I decided to set it to ISO 3200 and shoot a series of photos of my daughter and various things around the house using available light. The light is mixed lighting, part sunlight and part compact flourescent bulbs, fairly typical of what you would find indoors.
Here’s some of the ISO 3200 images I shot. All are shot with the new Nikon telephoto 35mm f1.8G on the D5000, in RAW, and processed in Lightroom. I’ve processed them the way I normally process any photos in Lightroom, so a lot of them have had vignetting applied… i.e. don’t be thinking that’s the how the Nikon 35mm f1.8G vignettes.
