What's a good digital SLR camera?
 

I'm arguing with myself & my bank balance about what to buy.
Nikon D5000 vs. D90 is sorta what I'm thinking about.
Comparable Canon??

D5000 loses a few features that I think I won't care about, but what do YOU guys think.

Background: old-time serious hobbyist, I even had a color darkroom. All my old Minolta manual-focus stuff has been orphaned long ago, so I don't already have a collection of lenses.

Hey There Jim
 

Jim , do you see that ad in here about the D90 for $52.00 on swoopo site.

It was below your post...

MY DECISION: Nikon D5000
