Now yes, I understand, the two are not in the same price range and it is clear the d90 is a better camera than the d5000. My question is, is it worth the extra 200? I'm planning on upgrading from a d40 and am only going to buy a new body. I currently have a 18-55 VR and a 10.5 fisheye. From the small bits and pieces I've read, it seems that the differences between the two cameras are: Body structure, and internal motors. I'm sure there are many other important differences so if someone could explain them, that would be phenomenal.
Now the internal motors arn't really all that big of a deal to me. The 18-55 dosn't need them and AF isn't all that important to me on the fisheye. However, if internal motors do make a large difference in the future, someone let me know.
It seems as though the only thing the d5000 has over the d90 is the flip out screen. From first glance it seems like a cool gadget but I'm contemplating on how much it will help. If some d5000 users could help me out here, it'd be much appreciated.
I'm guessing If I went with the d5000, I'd have an extra say 200 to pick up a SB-600. However, I've also heard the movie function on the d5000 is a reduced form of the d90's. That's a little dishearting to hear as I will be using the D-Movie quite a bit.
Thanks in advanced
