What is the difference between Nikon D3000 and Nikon D5000?

I have a few questions about Nikon D3000, D5000, and D90?

  • I'm fifteen years old and am thinking about purchasing a Nikon camera. I've always had an interest in photography (I've already taken photography courses at my community college), so I want to get myself a camera that takes excellent photos and will last me a long time (my Panasonic digital cameras just won't cut it). I have had my eyes on the D3000, D5000, and D90, but I'm still a bit uncertain about which one is worth buying. I'm concerned about the D3000, because apparently it does poorly in low light, and the D5000 has been recalled twice. Anyhow, I have a few questions about these three cameras: 1. How is the image quality? 2. How are the photos in low light? 3. Which, in your opinion, is the best camera for the money? In conclusion, I want your opinions and comments on the Nikon D3000, D5000, and D90. Thank you so much in advance!

  • Answer:

    I would recommend you Nikon D90 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera really a better option # Live View with contrast-detect AF, face detection # Image sensor cleaning (sensor shake) # Movie capture at up to 1280 x 720 (720p) 24 fps with mono sound # IS0 200-3200 range (100-6400 expanded) # 4.5 frames per second continuous shooting # 3D tracking AF (11 point) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ENOZY4?ie=UTF8&tag=bestdeals-y-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001ENOZY4

The D90. I say this over the D5000 becasue of the AF motor and a few other features. Having an AF motor on the D90 allows you to auto focus older lenses. Like the 50mm f1.8 D ($100) Having the abliity to autofocus older lenses allows you not to spend all your money on newer lenses but also obtaining older lenses. Good Luck

all are fine cameras, but the d3000 and d5000 would be dropped right off the list if I'm making it for something you didn't even know about. The entry level Nikon bodies like these, and the d40 and d60 have no auto focus motors. Most Nikon lenses have motors, but not all. So if you have a body with no motor, you end up cutting some lenses off your list, like the 50mm f/1.8 for example, it has no motor and becomes a manual focus lens on entry level bodies. So it's all about the d90. but even then I would hang off on buying it because it's getting old (in the dSLR world anyway) so I'd wait to see what the next model holds and buy that if it's significantly better, or just end up getting a better deal on the d90 when the new model causes the price of the d90 to soften.

the D90 and D5000 have a larger sensor than the D3000, and the D90 has an AF motor, which the other two do not.
