Default The D5000 Rocks!
I've got a D300 and D80, but really miss my old D40 that I gave to my father. So, when a friend found me a D5000 for a crazy low price I jumped at the opportunity. The image quality is as good or better than the D300. Here are two quick shots I took this morning with my 18-200VR lens:

Speedwell Park DSC_0034

Camera: Nikon D5000
Exposure: 0.006 sec (1/160)
Aperture: f/9.0
Focal Length: 18 mm
ISO Speed: 800



Speedwell Park DSC_0035
Camera: Nikon D5000
Exposure: 0.006 sec (1/160)
Aperture: f/13.0
Focal Length: 18 mm
ISO Speed: 800
