Nikon D90 VS D5000

Here is a great way to compare cameras
Based solely on image quality. no fancy extra features.
: Compare cameras


I had the same question in a couple threads I made. I learned a lot. Ive wanted the D90 since a year ago and im finally getting it.

I learned that the D5000 can only autofocus with AF-S and AF-I Lenses, this is a huge minus to the D5000 vs the D90. In the DXO link I gave you rule the Canon out it dosent come near the new D5000 in image quality. The nikon D5000 does come close in image quality though so if you bought it im sure you will be pleased. However, the best way to decide on cameras if how it feels in your hands. I went into the camera shop to play with some cameras and the D90 feels awesome. Go into a shop and try them out. I picked up the D5000 after, it feels like a "mini" D90 thats less complicated. I tried out the articulating screen and its cool but dosent make a huge difference for me.


Hope that helps.

Dan.
