The Nikon D5000 has NTSC video output that can connect to a Steadicam Pilot's LCD monitor.
The camera produces very noticeable rolling shutter artifacts when used for video recording.
Video mode operation is difficult to control during handheld stabilized shooting.
The camera is limited to 720p resolution for video recording.
The video codec used by this camera is considered poor quality for professional stabilizer work.

The assessment is based on subjective experience rather than technical specifications.
The discussion does not provide detailed technical reasons for the control difficulties.
This evaluation is from 2010 and may not reflect how the camera performs with modern workflow expectations.
The recommendation to wait for other models assumes future product releases that may or may not occur.
