I did not regret the purchase, everything is fine.

I got the impression that Nikon, having inserted a matrix from the D7000, decided to compensate for this in another way. This is a "one-button" camera.
For those who buy a DSLR for the first time, it is recommended. The camera is able to surprise. But for those who have used a semi-pro, this is not an option for sure.
After buying, without thinking twice (2 months) sold.

Pros

1. Dynamic range. It's great. 2. Really fast aperture matrix. ISO 1600 working without reservations. There is practically no noise. 3. With a very difficult, for any camera, lamp lighting, auto ISO works wonders. It is better than the pre-installed one. Colors are separated perfectly. And there is almost no parasitic yellow or red blocking color. For me personally, this is a big plus. 4. Number of settings. A little less than in the D90. 5. Delete button. Two clicks and the photo is deleted.

Cons

1. I won’t say anything about the weight and size, it’s not for everyone. It’s small and light. 2. Buttons and again buttons. There are almost none. And this is wildly not convenient. True, if you were holding in your hands something that has more of them. 3. Plastic picture, although of excellent quality. Well, there is no life in it. 4. Rotary screen. Because of it, the left side of the camera is devoid of any buttons. And this is also very inconvenient. The button for displaying the settings went up to the right, when in the cameras before, it was from the bottom left, under the finger. Also buttons zoom in/zoom out and start photo browsing went to the right, and the menu became high. In general, the ergonomics are terrible. You need to have two right hands. 5. Liveview is slow (for those who are waiting for the speed of a soapbox). It claps too long. During this time, you can shoot 5 frames through the peephole. 6. The picture as a whole. It is rough, not smooth.

Has pros: One of the main advantages of the rotary screen, the entire Nikonov 5000 series comes with such a chic dignity, new angles, new thinking) new pictures) Has cons: Quite old, obsolete already
