Ending an extended span of rumours, Nikon has on Tuesday announced its much anticipated consumer-level digital SLR, Nikon D5000 Digital SLR Camera. This Digital SLR of Nikon would come imbibing features such as an HD Movie mode and Live View application from its sibling Nikon D90 digital camera.
The D5000 DSLR would be hitting the UK market with a sensor resolution of 12.3 Megapixels and a flip-out vari-angle screen of 2.7 inches diagonal size. Other significant features of the new launch would be an ISO sensitivity equalent of 200 -3200 that can be boosted further to 100-6400. The monitor that boasts of 230,000 pixels also claims a 170 degree viewing angle.
The maximum video-mode resolution offered by this digital SLR would be 1280 x 720 pixels. However, one disadvantage is that the D5000 does not offer any autofocus control while engaging this function. The images captured can be played back on an HDTV, apart from playing back them on the camera monitor itself.
The D5000 also offers some other niceties in the form of an integrated image sensor cleaning system and a dust reduction system based on Airflow Control technology. A unique autofocus system is offered by the D5000 that refers to a 3D tracking AF with an 11 point autofocus. The device also offers 19 shooting modes and options for in-camera image editing.
The D5000, according to the plans of Nikon would hit the UK market in May with an expected price tag of GBP 719.99.
