The Nikon D5000 has Arrived!! |
2010.01.27 |
Wow, I really wish I didn’t have to work once my camera arrived! It’s so much fun to get a new toy, but a new camera is all the more exciting. I had researched this camera quite a bit and found the features/quality to price-point compelling! After purchasing the camera, I found this link…
D5000 vs. D300s Raw Image Quality Comparison
This camera has many new strengths that I hope to highlight in upcoming posts. The first of which (and one of the things that strongly compelled me to purchase it) is the ISO.
The following pictures is taken at a 1250 ISO. You’ll note very little noise for a non full-frame camera:
Compare this image (1250 ISO on my new D5000) to these images from my old D60 – starting at 800 ISO (picture of Matt) and ending with an evening shot of Will at ISO 800 as well. Of course, in all fairness, the evening shot does bring out the pixelation a bit more:
Finally, for the ISO comparison, check out this rather unexciting picture into a darker corner. The first image is at 1600 ISO and the second at 3200 ISO.
These next pictures were just me playing around… one includes the box (hey, I was excited, what can I say??) 200 ISO
