The Nikon D5000 slots between the D60 and D90 models, not only in terms of features and functionality, but also in terms of size and weight. It’s not as compact and lightweight, the D60, but it is not bulky and heavier than the D90. The right handle is closer to the D60 – it is a little uncomfortable for photographers with large hands and / or longish fingers, but not annoyingly so. New on the D5000 is a rubber thumb on the back of the body, which is an improvement over the D60.

The 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 VR kit Nikon believes that the purpose fairly well balanced – a little heavy at first – the Nikon D5000, and it hangs with a reassuring mechanical click. It also adds the very important to reduce vibration. Nikon bodies do not offer any type of camera image stabilization, unlike similar models from Sony, Pentax and Olympus, the affordable 18-55mm VR lens is a good investment.

The trigger on the Nikon D5000 is surprisingly quiet, with a mirror copy that makes wet slap DSLR quieter than the number of cameras! In addition, there is a new silent mode, in which the mirror is raised slowly enough to further reduce the sound it produces. This, however, presents a certain delay, which is not generally the value of a few decibels of difference in what is already an impressive silence shutter (Nikon recommends using the silent mode to take pictures of babies sleeping A situation in which a little shutter delay is not a problem).
