Difference Between Nikon D3000 and the D5000?

  • Im just starting to getting into photography, i've only had point and shoot camera's and need a DSLR for my photo journalism. Its a toss up right now between the D3000 and ...show more

  • Answer:

    For an APS-C camera 10.2mp is acceptable for most hobbyist applications. I would probably go for the D5000 because of the few extra MPs, extra ISO sensitivity and the pivoting viewscreen. The pivoting viewscreen might be handy for photojournalism.

The D3000 has a CCD sensor while the D5000 has a CMOS sensor, giving a more clear picture, the D5000 also has a fully articulated screen which is good for self portraits, and high/low angles, it's good if someone wants to see themselves before the picture is taken, it is also good for astrophotography, the D5000 also has HD video mode.

I have the D3000 and it's going great. But i would agree with the first two answers here, the D5000 is more handy specially for such a job you will be using it in. Go for the D5k Good luck!
