Nikon D5000: Variable Angle LCD, HD DSLR, 12.3 MP and the right price
One thing that we always do at an event is take an overhead crowd shot.
Usually, it becomes a an approximation of framing, based on experience, and well, blind luck.
The Nikon D5000 
No, it’s not the first camera to do that, but the first one that will take our lenses.
Add in HD video, 12.3 MP, and classic 3D color matrix metering, and this is an outstanding camera in the entry level market. With a kit lens,18-55mm, it comes in nicely under $700.
True it is DX format, but that’ll make your lens costs lower and make the rig lighter.
That’s why this camera is part of the Grand Prize package in the Let’s Do Lunch Photo Contest we are doing.
Here is a quick tour by Lindsay Silverman, from Nikon:
Coming soon will be our Real World Review on this camera, and honestly, with the holidays upon us, we are very excited at the prospect. We like to photograph events and this looks perfect.

I am so glad to see a professional photographer expound on the ease and joys of using a variable angle lcd in live view. I would not photograph with out it! I am not a professional, but I don’t have to roll around in the mud either to get a photo of the underside of a mushroom, for example. I would hate to see this technology go by the wayside. And Thank you Nikon for producing a higher end camera with interchangeable lenses that uses the articulating lcd!
