No longer must amateur photographers choose between the convenience of a digital camera and the quality of a thirty five millimeter SLR camera. Choose a Nikon D500 and you can have the convenience of both.

This camera is inexpensive enough to be affordable but high quality enough to give the best qualities of digital cameras and 35 millimeter SLR cameras. It offers the quality only found in Nikon and provides 12. 3 megapixel photographs. It can take shots at four frames per second or take video.

Even though small in size, there are nineteen different mode of auto-exposure in this powerful digital camera. The camera will get great shots in lighting conditions from candle light to full sun.

The camera also has an optional GPS capability and can label each shot with longitude and latitude. It also can recover the time by satellite so that you record all the information about a photograph when it is taken.

The camera offers editing of the digital shots on the camera screen. If there are shots that cannot be edited, then they can be disposed in order to free up the memory for even more new shots each day.

The rechargeable battery that comes with this camera will allow you to take over five hundred shots without having to recharge. This makes it perfect for family vacations and other special events. You will be able to take all the shots needed for the day so that you are able to dispose of those that are less than perfect.

Photos are recorded on SD memory cards, but if you need a larger capacity, the camera also works with the SDHC cards also.

As with most other 35 mm cameras, you are able to interchange lenses and all three major lens companies make lenses that will work with all Nikon DSLR cameras. There is also a built in flash for those shots where a little more light is needed.

When you want to review the shots from the day, choose to view them as a slide show or through thumbnails which allow for a quick review of many shots from the day.

However, the best price about this camera is its price. The camera is just over six hundred fifty dollars. This places it only slightly higher than a comparable thirty five millimeter film camera of the same quality. The Nikon d5000 is an excellent choice for most family photographers and will give great service.
