good workhorse
By Allen from Springfield, Illinois on 6/6/2007
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Pros:
Able to shoot in program, Accurate Colors, Great Resolution, Manual modes, Nice Features and Settings, Or shutter aperture man
Cons:
Complicated Controls, Settings for closeupetc, Sometimes hard to recall
Best Uses:
Everyday, Outdoors, Sports/Action, Travel
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I have had the 5000 for about 6 years and it has taken thousands of pictures without problems. I also have a Nikon N-80 and the features on the 5000 exceed those of the N-80, except for the obvious (such as no interchangeable lenses, inability to shoot above 800 ISO, and the digital zoom has its limits (regular zoom is good though)). Excellent, less expensive alternative to a digital SLR.
