    You can’t compare a D5000 with a 5D Mark II. The distance between these 2 DSLR are very far apart.

    nothing beats nikon :P

    I know that, I read it XD but 5D mark II beats it, only if I had that kind of money, but if its an entry I’d pick D5000, and wtf, why do I have a thumbs down comment? People get pissed that I side with nikon now? =P

    It doesn’t have a Built in motor for the focus, but the sensor as the D90 is the same so the focusing speed is great when viewing thru the viewfinder but the LV ( live view ) focus is kinda slower compared to the Canon 5D mark2 but that cam is :o 2699$

    sorry i mean Nikon D5000 is much better at high ISO and LOW light! if you are confused between 500D and D5000. Clearly it is D5000.

    I heard the D5000 focus speed is slow? Anyone know if that’s true?

  11. danderegilon 13 Jul 2009 at 10:32 pm

    Oh how I want this D5000..

  12. FreeDIDclipsforallon 16 Jul 2009 at 5:42 pm

    If canon comes with a “60D” they better make strong improvements, cause I’m only going to stick to nikon, I am a nikon and canon lover, but if it doesn’t go the same as the D5000, better yet the D90 then hell I’m not getting it.

  13. FreeDIDclipsforallon 17 Jul 2009 at 9:45 pm

    DAMN IT, I should have seen this review before buying the 500D! man I bought it, then saw the reviews, i wasn’t pleased with the 500D’s results, man canon has disappointed me with this piece of shit, I’m glad Nikon made a better low noise iso, and a bit better image quality than the 500D, go D5000!

  14. sharakeiasmithon 19 Jul 2009 at 3:58 am

    i want it soooo bad

  15. xceccyon 20 Jul 2009 at 9:31 am

    thanks for great preview. i have ordered this camera and i cant wait to use it!

  16. WhatDigitalCameraon 21 Jul 2009 at 3:23 pm

    Yes it accepts SD and SDHC cards.

  17. sarahsy90on 22 Jul 2009 at 12:01 pm

    what kind of memory does this use.. like what memory card
    i have SD something and i was wondering if that would work

    A good camera for the novice with money to spend to introduce them to DSLR photography … lots of bits but pricy - plastic body - not magnesium- not for the serious photographer though really imho - a good pub talk DSLR … with loads of features -tilt screen should have been available to the D300 - that would make it perfect … I’ll stick with my trusty D200 thanks very much …

    Only “LOWER” is not enough.Price for this must be in the middle between D40 and D90.Not even close to D90.Compare CANON EOS 500D, for 900$.15mpx and more detailed and cleared pictures.

  20. bambooprinceon 29 Jul 2009 at 5:07 am

    its not better and sharper then the D90… ! they’ve got the same sensor… and the price is even lower as the D90.

  21. TSJStudioson 01 Aug 2009 at 7:18 am

    Ok. The D-90 has movie mode and live view mode. so does the d5000. Same Sensor, but not top lcd display, they added more automated mode setting. low k dot screen resolution: which they fail to discuss., and to top it off they gave it a point and shoot feature by adding the swivel back lcd for portraits.

    You cant compare this to the d90 at all. I would honestly compare this to the Sony A350 which is why i think they designed this piece of trash. To defeat all competition.!!

  22. IMPERIALILLUMINATon 04 Aug 2009 at 7:09 am

    D5000 have better and sharper and detailed picture than D90.BUT price for D5000 is too high.
