I'm after a new DSLR, prefer Live View. been in Currys today and was quite impresed with the Nikon D5000, had a bit play with the Canon EOS 500d and that felt too lite and fiderly for me and my fat fingers

What would you guys recomend?

Ps
Heres my old Nikon D60 for sale if anyone's interested

Whats this?! People on Passionford with nothing to say!!

 

im using a d5000, about 470 now, nice camera to use with plenty of features, i use to use a d40 previously and decided to stick with nikon, pull out screen is useful for those low dwn type of shots

 

450d all the way

 

i have also got the d5000 had it for about a year and think its a fantastic bit of kit

 

Anything Nikon
Still using a D50, and feel no need to upgrade myself!

 

I say a mint used d90

 

Does the D90 come with Live view?

 

yep

 

Think i might look into the d90

 

Its a superb camera i love mine just look for a mint used one some bargains to be had.

knocks the socks of my old d3000

 

Here's another vote for the D90, if you can grab a used one for a decent price you won't regret it.

I upgraded last year from a Nikon D60 and the D90 is just so much better to use, the buttons/controls are in the right place. Although personally I don't see the need for the liveview mode.

 

+1

 

well insted of a £500 pound budget i forked out an extra £220 and got a brand spanker Nikon D90 , very nice bit of kit but i now need a bigger camera bag.

 

I use a D90 and the salesman said the d5000 was 2nd best to the d90 , it has 20mins of video which is ok , and loads of feature's im never ever going to get to grips with .
I run it with a sigma 120/400mm lens which for the money gives good results .....
I had a D50 beforehand so was deffo worth the upgrade ....
