no. once you have the camera and start looking through the viewfinder you really shouldnt be dissappointed with it. it seems very nice. the problem comes when side by side comparing it to something else, such as the D90.

no, you can't see DOF in the viewfinder, because the camera has the lens in its widest (smallest number, 1.4; 3.5; 5.6 for instance) aperture except when taking the picture (one of the noises when making a picture is the aperture snapping into the setting chosen).

I take pictures so quickly, my highschool was "Continuous High".

thanks for the info i found some information on you tube

i have a question i don't seem to be getting the speed that i should out of my camera that i it does a good burst for 4 frames than it slowes right down even when i am shooting jpeg basic the manual says i should be able to shot about 100 before it dose this what am i doing wrong or am i reading the manual wrong

there are some settings that will slow down continuous framerate. i think these are flash (obviously), noisereduction (will happen automatically at high iso even when turned off), active d-lighting and of course you cant have a very long shutter speed.

Stunning!

The D5000 is the choice of my mid-range DSLR , too bad it doesn't have built in motor to AF older lenses , other than that , it's good for me.

Hail to D5000's interval shooting

http://karol.mozdzierz.com.pl/foto/thunders/ - take a look what was I able to capture :] 46 thunders caught during one storm, and it was not a very hard task :]

here's an example:



Most of them were 15 seconds/F7.1/Iso 500, interval set to 17 seconds.

~Buffer began lagging today on continuous release after 4 - 5 shots, on a weak battery. Recharged - same results: indoors - outdoors, variable light, shutter, ISO, etc.... slow
SanDisk 4GB Extreme III class 6 card is writing like a class 2..... works fine in another camera....?!

Has now slowed down to a crawl as if it's laboring and can barely muster enough power to flip the mirror in any shutter release mode

contact Nikon I would say
