Hello “Nikon D5000″ .

I have the same problem too in my D5000. Completely lost power, would not turn on at all even with reset. My camera worked for 6 months though.

I loved the camera out of the box. However, it died the second day I had it. Completely lost power, would not turn on at all even with trying to reset and use fresh batteries. Very similar to the 2009 recall that was supposedly fixed (this model was not included in Nikon’s recall range.)

As some have suggested here , the Nikon D90 and the Nikon D5000 are not the same cameras.They are totally different cameras system with different consumers in mind.I’am not saying that the D5000 is not as good as the D90 , on the contrary it’s photographic capabilities are excelent but its arsenal of usability is aim at a different type of photography lover. it’s on board lens focusing motor,capability to change setting on most of its operating buttons not having to navigate the menu to change settings,its viewfinder,pentaprism instead of pentamirror,high resolution screen in order to better see what you have just photographed , its Creative lighting system and many other features gives the whole setup a more upscaled approach to photography.The D5000 is a great camera but to say that they are the same camera with just a mere difference is not admitting the obvious

I have a problem here, I have a SLR film camera PENTAX ASAHI ME – which is technical details are below – and I’m looking for an upgrading and I’m actually thinking about DSLR PENTAX K-x. The problem is that I have 4 lenses for my old pentax and I don’t know if there mount will bw suitable for the PENTAX K-x or not, I mean the question is : IF I GET DSLR PENTAX K-x, WOULD IT POSSIBLE TO USE MY OLD LENSES ??!! ( The technical details of the lenses are below )
The other problem is if the mount is not suitable so what do you suggest for me in a budget of 700 $ : Nikon D5000, Nikon D3000, Nikon D60, Nikon D40, Pentax K-x ( which is most reasonable for me and Nikon D5000 !! ) ???

Dear Feroza,

Try viewing through the viewfinder and take picture. See if it works. I don’t know which region are you from but the camera could temporarily malfunction due to condensation. In that case, leave the camera at room temperature from a few hours to a couple of days and see if it works after that. Also, recharge your battery for 8-hours, in case the last time you drained it to the last drop.

If none of the above helps, then take the camera to the Nikon dealer with the warrenty card.

Zill.
