What do you think about the Nikon D5000? I am a little confused about lenses as well.?
What do you think about the Nikon D5000 and I am a little confused about the lenses. I am fully aware that Nikon does not put in body stablization, the image stabilization is in the lenses. What am I supposed to be looking for to see if the lenses have in body stablization. Also, I saw Nikon has different types of lenses for this camera like G, ED, and some others. Please explain these types as well as any others
The main thing I will point out is this, the D5000, D3000, D40, D40x, and D60 do not have auto focus moter built into the camera so you need lenses that have the motor if you want to maintain auto focus ability. There are many lenses to choose from, just one the right ones.
Image stabilization is something I know less about, but in some cases it comes with the lens, or in some cases it is in the camera body. I reacently read that the Pentax K-x has in-body stabilization and that it, "functions with pretty much any lens that can be attached to the camera."
Below I listed some links that are good resources. At photo.net listed below there are discussion forums where you can post questions, exchange information and learn a great deal.
Hope this helps.

well im not that knowledgeable about image stabilization.
anyways, what that guy said, most lenses can only autofocus on D5000 (and other lower models like D40 ..eetc) because these cameras dont have internal motor for AF thus, you need a af-s lens which means that it has its own autofocus motor and can do so in your d5000.
The G means that the lens is a G-type NIKKOR which means that it has no aperture ring.
ED is rather an element or special feature in some nikkor lenses. ED stands for Extra-low Dispersion glass which enables the production of lenses to offer superior sharpness and color correction by minimizing chromatic aberration.
The Nikon D5000 is a quality camera. Here is dpreview.com take on it.

Any lens for the Nikon D5000 will state if it has VR (Vibration Reduction). Some lenses do not, such as my Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8G lens. VR has very little use on a 35mm lens. VR is very useful on zoom lenses. A lens does not have body stabilization, that doesn't make any sense.
The following is quoted from photo.net
"ED" is "extra-low dispersion" glass, a more expensive and higher quality glass that reduces chromatic aberration, in which light of different colors takes different paths through the lens, which would result in a dot of white light being fuzzed up by the time it reaches the film or sensor.
"IF" is internal focus, meaning that the lens does not change physical length as you focus on subjects that are closer or farther away.
"DX" are Nikon's lenses that only work on its small-sensor Digital SLR bodies, i.e., they don't cast a large enough image circle to be used on a film camera.
"FX" refers to the full frame sensor
"G" lenses are Nikon's newest lenses. They don't have an aperture ring, which is a shame because it means that you are forced to adjust the aperture with a command wheel on the camera. The G lenses don't work on older bodies.
AF-S is "silentwave motor". Old-style Nikon autofocus lenses did not have motors in the lens, but relied on a screwdriver blade in the camera body to turn the focus ring. An AF-S lens has a built-in ultrasonic motor, a technology copied from the Canon EOS system. When using an AF-S lens, the photographer can push the shutter release (or a button on the rear of the camera, if a custom function is set) and let the autofocus system do its best, then touch up the focus manually by twisting the lens ring. The AF-S lenses also focus faster and more quietly.
