Abstrakt: The Nikon D5000 ($729.95 for body only) suffers from many of the same setbacks that the D90 experienced before it. The camera doesnt capture full HD video and its 1280 x 720 footage simply wont cut it in todays market. The rolling shutter issue does...
Abstrakt: The Nikon D5000 is one of a handful of sub-$1000 video SLRs. Overall we found the Canon XSi did a better job shooting video, with higher definition and smoother video motion, but the Nikon was superior for still photography....

Great image quality with low noise, Fully-articulated screen with Live View, 720p HD movie mode, 11-point AF and viewfinder guides.
No AF motor for older lenses, UI slow for experienced owners, Relatively small optical viewfinder, Screen hinged at bottom, not side.
