Took the D5000 back and got the D90 and I’m glad I did.

The D5000 seems like it’s for people with small hands.

The D90 seems so much better to me.
This conclusion is based on about 15 minutes with each camera from a total noob that has no idea what they are doing.

LOL – make some pictures/videos (unboxing, what’s in the box, etc.) and send them to me before you return it, please?

Thanks!

Yes, They had them in.

I have not even opened it yet and I might bring it back in the morning and get the D90 instead. I think the D90 is more bang for the buck.

interesting.. I wonder the same thing about the d90 vs the d5000. It seems to be the 5000 has some better beginner features like the different shooting modes swivel screen. It is also smaller and lighter for those who care.

I don’t understand the benefit of the focus motor on the flash vs on the body. Can someone explain that one to me.

lastly the 5000 is smaller and lighter which may be a benefit to some.

I figure they ought to have at least seen the thing so they can bullshit some half-ass answer if you have any questions.

Is it worth the extra money for the D90 over this D5000?

Nikon is very expensive now. When are they going to low their prices again?
