new camera = new pics
I bought a d5000 earlier today and my buddy took a few pics for me with it to test it out. Photobucket made the quality worse of course. They started out a lot sharper but they still look decent.

Ya I was gonna go with the 3000 buti found this 5000 used for the same price, the pics turned out decent but a little blurry in areas. It'll be better next time.

Great Camera. Love Nikon Gear!!!
Great shots.
Couple of things:
1. Use a tripod. It will make those low light shots much clearer.
2. Try A - Aperture Priority. The higher the F number (F22) the more depth of field you get. Which is the nearest point that is in focus out to the farthest point that is in focus. If you are shooting at F8 or lower the depth that is in focus is pretty narrow. Aperture Priority and high Fstop numbers slows the shutter speed down. So a Tripod is a must. It will actually allow a wider distance to remain in focus.
3. Learn to use the White Balance settings. It will improve clarity and color rendition.
4. Set Auto Bracketing. This will give you 3 or more pictures all in a row that are different exposures. Then you can keep the one you like and delete the ones you don't like.
Hint: When shooting low light, always use a tripod and more importantly use the timer function. It will eliminate any motion from your hand touching the camera. Believe it or not but even on a tripod - pushing the shutter release can cause minute vibration/camera shake that will blur the image slightly.
Have fun. It is a great camera.
Can't wait to see more pictures soon!
