I need help.
I know a lot of people here use webcams or video cameras to animate with.
The only camera that I own is the Nikon D5000.
Would that be a good camera for animating? And if you can animate with it, what lenses would work?
And if you have any other camera recommendations, post them! 
The common brickfilmer uses quickcam pro 9000, which is excellent - using a manual focus lense, although it is a webcam and therefore you need to be connected to a computer to take photos. With the quickcam pro and a good frame capture program (monkeyjam), brickfilm will be effective and easy. (i use it, its amazing and only £79.99)
Your nikon d5000 is an expensive camera, i dunno about cameras that much, but i think you should disable any automatic functions, like auto focus or something. But, yeah it should be good.
Hope these words helped in some random but lego related way.
