Would have been nice to hand meter to get a duplicate exposure. Also distortion is way off, or the focal length because the cup of tea looks way different. Swapping lenses could help. Even putting some pro glass on it for test will let it perform at optimum.]]>Apr 28th 2009 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/nikon-d5000-review-head-to-head-with-d90/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/nikon-d5000-review-head-to-head-with-d90/
Also I think the article has the cameras backwards as to which one has the pentamirror and which has the pentaprism.

The pentaprism, though heavier is generally the prefered technology when it comes to large bright viewfinders.]]>Apr 28th 2009 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/nikon-d5000-review-head-to-head-with-d90/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/nikon-d5000-review-head-to-head-with-d90/

so it depends how ppl use their camera. if they use the swivel often and likes lighter cameras D5000 is a good step-up from anyone who wants upgrade from a DSLR-like camera

personally, i'll take D90 over 5000 any day... but the MRS would probably say otherwise :\]]>Apr 28th 2009 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/nikon-d5000-review-head-to-head-with-d90/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/nikon-d5000-review-head-to-head-with-d90/Apr 28th 2009 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/nikon-d5000-review-head-to-head-with-d90/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/nikon-d5000-review-head-to-head-with-d90/
Tell her that the D90 is cheaper... it's got a lower number, right? In fact, maybe you should go for the D3.

I'm very eager to see how the Olympus E-620 compares. It has the contrast-detect AF with many of its lenses, which makes Live View (and thus its articulating screen, which Oly has had for generations) much more useful. A few fewer AF points, but more cross-type, I believe. Price is about the same, but Olympus kit lenses are probably better than the 18-55. Plus, the Oly kit lenses give you 28-300mm (35mm EFL), which is a nice range. Finally, the 620 is smaller and lighter.

Still, the Nikon surely has the Olympus beat on noise at higher ISOs. I wouldn't shoot above 1600 on a current-gen Oly, and even that may be pushing it. I hope Engadget does a review like this of the E-620 so we can compare notes.]]>Apr 28th 2009 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/nikon-d5000-review-head-to-head-with-d90/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/nikon-d5000-review-head-to-head-with-d90/Apr 28th 2009 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/nikon-d5000-review-head-to-head-with-d90/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/nikon-d5000-review-head-to-head-with-d90/
I like the thought process behind the D5000, but the implementation seems kinda lacking. But I'll definitely pick this one over the Canon. Live view really is best served with a tilt/twist screen.

Disclaimer: I use Pentax, but I'm not brand-biased.]]>Apr 29th 2009 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/nikon-d5000-review-head-to-head-with-d90/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/nikon-d5000-review-head-to-head-with-d90/

I think you got them the other way around. The D90 has a pentaprism...]]>Apr 28th 2009 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/nikon-d5000-review-head-to-head-with-d90/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/nikon-d5000-review-head-to-head-with-d90/Apr 29th 2009 2:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/nikon-d5000-review-head-to-head-with-d90/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/28/nikon-d5000-review-head-to-head-with-d90/
What does the size and placement of the grips have to with novice, amateur, or even pro cameras? I find more large camera's completely useless; unless on a tripod. A 'smaller in the hand' camera allow me, a semi-profession with a few international magazine cover shot, the freedom to be creative and more around to get the best shot possible.


After reading your first design paragraph I stopped. After all it is clearly a tech column not a real photographic review. Next time if you wanted to indicate that you think that this is a novice camera than give a real reason like the bundled lens would appear that Nikon's intent is toward the entry level user with this DSLR.
