Okay, another product from Nikon, the Nikon D5000. It features a 12.3-megapixels image sensor with DX CMOS format and a 2.7-inch adjustable-angle screen (vari-angle monitor). It can take photos continually at a speed of 4 frames per second and record High Definition (HD) movies with a resolution of 1280 x 720 at a speed of 24 frames per second. The camera has a HDMI connector to support a direct HDTV connectivity.

The vari-angle monitor can be used when it is attached to the back of the camera in a safe way but the user also can turn it freely, rotate it or move it up and down. The camera also offers “Subjective Tracking” auto focus which locks on to a moving subject as well as “Face Priority” auto focus that can detect up to five faces in a scene in order to focus the closest subject. The camera also supports 19 automatic Scene Modes that will adjust the camera settings in order to capture sport pictures, portraits, candlelight photos, and more. Also, the camera has some editing functions that include a Soft Filter effect, Perspective Control (that can fix some distortions in perspective when taking architecture photos), Color Outline (that creates monochrome outlines of objects in images) and other capabilities.
