Last summer, Nikon launched the D90, the first DSLR camera that could also shoot high-definition video. Although videographers weren’t terribly thrilled with the D90’s capabilities as a video recording device, the units raw capability and high-quality DSLR features appealed to a broad range of photographers. Now, Nikon is following up with the D5000 DSLR; like it’s predecessor, it offers a 12.3 megapixel resolution and can shoot 1,280 by 720-pixel video—plus it offers 19 scene modes, a 2.7-inch vari-angle LCD monitor, and it’s cheaper than the D90.
