Nice camera, but i'm not sure they need a camera between the D60 and the D90.]]>Apr 26th 2009 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/Apr 26th 2009 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/
I do expect to see a d90x or equivalent in the next few months with a display like this

I wonder what the replacement for the d90 will be - it can't be called a d100. ]]>Apr 26th 2009 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/

Kudos Nikon, for making your D90 stand out even more... even if it means entry level users go with a Canon. ]]>Apr 27th 2009 12:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/Apr 26th 2009 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/Apr 26th 2009 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/Apr 26th 2009 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/Apr 26th 2009 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/

The pros uses Canon for all their photographic needs, because they have "L" lenses which stands for luxury. They also make broadcast video equipment too, unlike Nikon."
----------
Thanks for your sage advice and well-reasoned commentary.

I will recommend Canon L series lenses to my mother and also mention how making broadcast video equipment is relevant to her purchase of quality DSLR. I will also add that Nikon has no Luxury lenses and how the pros use Canon for ALL their photographic needs because of said L lenses.

You are making a real difference keeping it real here in the comments and your advice is appreciated. I'll price up some L lenses and help my mum buy the right cam. She'll be glad I got the right advice here.

Make no mistake, the D90 is the overall superior camera. The only advantage this has over it is the swivel out screen (though even that comes at the price of a reduced resolution).]]>Apr 26th 2009 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/Apr 26th 2009 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/Apr 26th 2009 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/Apr 26th 2009 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/Apr 26th 2009 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/Apr 26th 2009 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/26/nikons-d5000-dslr-unboxed-ahead-of-schedule/

Its funny because I also heard pros love getting done in the butt as well, but only with L dildoes. L which stands for luxury. You should go home and be a pro too.
