I was excited this morning when I discovered that the D5000 was in fact a reality! Very few people have seen this camera, as it is not released yet, but by reading the specs I will share my thoughts:
1. The swivel screen is excellent for photographing in large crowds where you need to raise the camera above your head (press scrums, concerts, etc.), and also great for seeing what you are filming with the video feature.
2. The camera will work very well for snapshots of people using the built-in flash, in Auto mode. My assumptions are based on the D90's excellent performance in full Auto mode, while taking family pics at birthday parties and other non-professional events. This camera, while not in the D90 class, will no doubt equal the D90 in its D-Lighting and flash balancing capabilities.
3. The video will probably be of the same quality as the D90; not so great with regards to the Jello-like effects of "rolling shutter", but very decent for low depth-of-field effects when using fast prime lenses.
4. It will be a great travel camera, just like the D90. It is small, light, unobtrusive, and relatively inexpensive considering its many features. Up until last year I would take my large professional camera bodies on international trips. I don't do this anymore; my last two trips were shot entirely on the Nikon D90, with great results.
5. Do you have a family with small children? The D5000 may be perfect for you. The video capability will be much easier than the D90 due to the swivel screen, and as mentioned above, the camera is feature-packed, inexpensive, lightweight, and it looks easy to use.
To get more information on this camera, do a Google search for "D5000". DP Review is also a great source for a more detailed study of the camera. The comments section is open, feel free to discuss and ask any questions!
