Hello nairalanders,
I'm an amateur photographer, I do streets, landscape...I've been struggling with the choice of a most suitable camera with a limited budget of #60000 (for the right camera I may stretch further). I'm thinking Nikon D5000, I want to know the best price I can get a new Nikon D5000, how good is it compared with polo sharp shot d3200? does anyone have better suggestions for me? give me details and the price. Thank you.

Thanks mahn! I thought as much, I just wanted a second opinion. But, for whatever reason all price checking websites don't have anything on Nikon D5000

If you're really serious about photography and plan to take it serious in future, I'd advise you do not spend to be honest "hard earned money" on cheap systems YET. If you have money to spend later after you've developed your skill, then you can settle for the enthusiast cameras.. I will just not lie to you. You won't be impressed on the long run if you spend such money on a low system except if you're just a hobbyists like me or don't plan to take it serious but if I go buy your name, I'd advise you invest safely and wisely..
Either you save up more money like 80K and get Nikon D7000 or Nikon D5100 or D5200 and one Nikon 35mm F/1.8 DX or you get the Nikon D3200 and the above lens.
I'd strongly advice the D7000 and D3200 then move up as you polish your skill.. All the best.

I'm not on Nigeria and the prices here are different from that at home. Usually cheaper. But I'd advise you check Idumota at Lagos or Ikeja. Or better still ask photographers you know
