Nikon D5000 Recall of Some Units. How’s it now?
Months ago, I’ve been wanting to own a DSLR camera because of this passion to shoot different subjects. By the way, I have owned a Kodak point-and-shoot camera but the lock of the battery compartment was broken and it’s a useless thing now. Comparing the two camera types, DSLR cameras produce high quality photos than Point-and-Shoot cameras. I was searching for this two DSLR camera brands, Nikon and Canon, on the internet and were undoubtedly the top choices pinoy photographers were looking for. But my instinct weighs more on Nikon brands I think because of the result of the colors produced by Nikon DSLRs.
After looking for the latest lines of affordable Nikon DSLRs, I found this D5000 unit as my choice because of its features plus the bonus feature, the Movie mode, which is not available to most entry-level units. The unit is made to be fit and affordable to an entry-level photographer like me.
But my utmost emotion suddenly stops when I came upon this website of PRG Photo Shop, a camera shop in Cebu. What I found is the Service Advisory for Nikon D5000 units. The company has been recalling the Nikon D5000 units because of the following technical issues:
My longing to own this camera quickly falls and doubts of its reliability started to grow up. I’m still trying to look upon this unit to different camera stores and tried my luck if I still have a chance to look for serial numbers not included in the recalled units. But unfortunately, my luck wasn’t enough to look for it.
To my dismay, I ended my odyssey and rested my feet. I tried visiting the Canon store and luckily they’ve been releasing this 500D models (the same level as Nikon D5000 models) months ago. Without a doubt, and never heard about a recall of this model, I bought this Canon DSLR camera. I compared the reviews of the two models, and without a single smirch of an ink, the 500D wins. Thanks for the reviews found on the net, I have this dignity to own one of this entry-level DSLR cameras.
By the way, how’s the Nikon D5000 units now?
