Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Nikon D5000, which was introduced in June 2009 is a Entry-Level DSLR camera with a 12.0MP APS-C sensor whereas Ricoh GXR P10 28-300mm, which was introduced in August 2010 is a Advanced Mirrorless camera with a 10.0MP 1/2.3-inch sensor. There is 14 months difference between D5000 and GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC, especially in sensor tech.
Despite some fundamental differences of these two body types, Mirrorless cameras are becoming serious alternatives to DSLR cameras thanks to their size/weight advantages and recent improvements in their focus speeds , which makes this comparison even more interesting.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Nikon D5000 and Ricoh GXR P10 28-300mm before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Nikon D5000 and Ricoh GXR P10 28-300mm compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
