Nikon D5000
I got this camera back in July and chose it because of the high ratings of it's color range and good low light shots. It is my first DSLR and I'm more than happy with the image quality. The RAW files capture a great amount of color range. I used to combine a few photos to make a realistic "hdr" image, with this I don't even need to, it's great!
The only con is the live view auto focus is REALLY slow..almost useless. I still use live view with the twist screen to compose some shots that are hard to get at odd angles, then I usually switch to normal view and shoot. It would have been great if Nikon added the feature other camera makers have where it lowers the mirror before taking the shot in live view.
I did have to send the camera out for the recall, but it came back within a week and i've had no other problems.

Good, but should have went w/D90
Great camera, but I personally feel I should have went w/the Nikon D90 for the better quality view finder. I believe when judging the quality of the image on the VF- will make a difference in better photographs, either portrait of field work, in post.

Amazon still selling recalled products
Despite the fact that Amazon has sold recalled serial numbers in the past, I assumed I was safe to order it from Amazon since it has been a few months since the last problem order as noted on previous reviews. However, I was extremely disappointed to have received not only a recalled serial number product, but the box itself seemed to have been opened previously. Just a warning not to order it from Amazon if you believe that they no longer sell recalled products because clearly they still are.

D5000: for the budget-conscious intermediate/amature
Having had the D5000 for a few months now, and having used it with a few different lenses, I figured I'd better chime in here, in hopes of pushing this one's rating just a bit higher. It's certainly deserving. One of the reasons this camera got a bunch of bad reviews all over the place at first was because of the recall. Definitely a bummer. But by the time I received mine, the problem had been dealt with, and I received a perfectly working model. So how is it?
In a word: fantastic. I've owned one other dSLR in my life, and it was a Canon, and it was a while ago. Needless to say, this was a HUGE step up for me.
In getting truly serious about my photography, this camera has been the tool I've dreamed of having for a long, long time. It's fast, light, takes wonderful pictures, and is reasonably priced to boot. The menu system is well laid out, and there's a very useful info button if you want the quick-and-dirty of what a particular setting does. I've used this camera with Nikon, Sigma, and Tamron lenses, and with all of them it has just performed seamlessly. Of course, now that I know everything there is to know about this camera, it only makes me want a D3X that much more. But parting with 7k for a camera is more than a little crazy, especially at my level.
So my parting advice is this: if you really, really know what you're doing, you'll probably be a little disappointed and somewhat limited by this camera. While it does an admirable job at higher ISO's, it's no $7000 camera. In fact it's no $3000 camera. Meaning that you will see noise at the higher settings, plain and simple.
But if you're not expecting miracles, then this little gem of a camera might just surprise you with a few.

Still a problem with power on for Nikon D5000
I need to return the Nikon D5000 I bought from amazon.com - glad I got it from amazon.com so I can easily do that!
The serial number of the D5000 body I got is not part of the D5000 recall numbers. The camera powered on the first time I tried it, three days ago.
Since the first time, I have to put the end of a paper clip into the reset hole found next to the SD card slot. I found that solution online.
When I found I had to do that every time to turn the camera on, I called Nikon support. They suggested to be sure my battery is charged at least overnight.
I did that, with the spare battery I bought too. Same problem. Called Nikon again (I got great service from Nikon Support), and they said to return it, after I told them I got it three days ago from amazon.com.
The LCD resolution on the Nikon D5000 is almost clear enough for my middle-aged eyes. Not crisp, but good. I do studio and portrait photography.

Nikon Cameras HistoryNikon Corporation is one of the major companies of the Mitsubishi Group, a multinational corporation headquartered in Tokyo, Japan and specializing in optics and imaging.
Nippon Kogaku K.K., or Japanese Optical Society (afterwards became known as Nikon Corporation) was formed at July 25, 1917 as a result of merging of three firms: Tokyo Keiki Seisaku-sho's optical division, Iwaki Glass Seisaku-sho и Fujii Lens Seizo-sho. The new company was aimed at manufacturing high-quality optics for Imperial Japanese Navy. And up to 1945 it actually was their main goal that determined the company’s philosophy and traditions. The first president of Nippon Kogaku was Yoshihira Wada.
Apart from military equipment the company produced microscopes, telescopes and other measuring instruments for industry and science. From 1932 they started serial production of Nikkor lenses for photo cameras. It’s an interesting fact that all Canon cameras, launched between 1937 and 1947 were equipped with lenses produced by Nikon!
After the WW II Nippon Kogaku K.K. manufactured its own camera –a rangefinder Nikon 1 – and stopped manufacturing lenses for Canon. The new camera appeared already Nikon-branded.
