Intro
After a recent trek in the mountains near my home I realized, apart from having to lose some weight that I had to lighten my backpack. At first I looked at everything that could be reduced both in volume and in weight apart from my trusty D300 of course. But after a recent visit to my local camera store where I had the chance to try a D5000 I suddenly realized that a smaller and lighter “D300” (the D5000 uses the same 12.3MP sensor as the D90 and D300) with the inclusion of an articulating LCD screen could turn out to be a trekker’s dream camera, so I bought one to try out in the field.
