Full-sized samples, video clips and review of the Nikon D5000 at The Imaging Resource – The verdict for the D5000:
What’s certain is the Nikon D5000’s ability to make superb still images. Its optical viewfinder is a pleasure to use, and you’ll get more straight horizon lines thanks to the built-in grid. The shutter sound is quiet, and single-point AF speeds are fast. For the consumer shooter wanting to move up in terms of functionality and image quality, and still have the familiar interface of the D40/D60 range, the Nikon D5000 is an excellent choice, and a definite Dave’s Pick.
