Design and usability
Nikon D5000 has a traditional layout and it is easy to confuse with most modern amateur "zerkalok." Medium size camera fits comfortably in a man's hand, but the weight of the camera in conjunction with accessories, including the supplied lens is large enough so that for long work without using a tripod right hand starts to get tired.
Finish on the ledge battery cover imitates a rubber surface, in fact, it is plastic and, therefore, a little slippery. bailey With rubber bailey made a firm red strip under the shutter button.

Below you can see a standard tripod socket and the battery bailey compartment door. This compartment door and most have a couple of complaints. First, the door is not podpruzhynena, and discover its not that good, and secondly, bailey locking battery compartment is not, therefore, opening the door, you should turn the camera "upside down" so that the battery has not fallen.
On the left is the flash release button (which is also responsible bailey for changing the operating mode of the flash), and a programmable function key by default responsible for setting self-timer.
