Get the D90!!at 3.3k u get the 18-105, u slash out the need of extra 55-200 zoom to accompany the 18-55!! 55-200 cost 890! for that extra u pay for D90, u got built in AF motor n commander body flash, which is indeed very useful!

can u tell me which part of them see similar??
from what i see, there is alot different..

mayb he meant the image sensor as the most important similarity, both having 11 point of focus. n quite a few more.... difference would b less den similarity da articulating screen, top lcd, AF motor and command flash

I would say most people whose starting photography looks at the megapixels first . Then sensor... since both D90 and D5000 has similar or is it the same?

@kalido u may consider this offer

hey guys...........

I'm still new in da world of DSLR but I guess I do understand that megapixels alone does not determine quality , if that was my consideration I'd proly be lookin at a compact with much higher megapixels for the same money ....haha

anyway, as I said I'm still new and was reading a bit bout the different DSLRs in this price range and came across this site that compared the D5000 and D90 . The writer pointed out that the D5000 shared many of the D90's features . But I though I'd check with some real world users here in da forum if that's the case....

ouh thanks bro

I was with the megapixel thingy before this as well , but I ended up with D90 instead of 50D xD

D5000 inherits a few stuffs from D90. 11AF, 12.1 CMOS sensor, Expeed processor etc. What D90 has better than D5000 would be, high resolution screen (good for checking focus), twin command dials (don't need to access menu at all, you can rely on these 2 most of the time), built in motor (to use the cheap yet good 50mm f/1.8D and many other good lens), D90 comes with EN-EL3e instead of the lower capacity one with D5000, and of course you have the MB-D80 original grip option to use. Not sure if I missed any, these are what I have in mind for now.

u forgot top lcd screen n built-in flash commander

wat D5000 is better than D90 is slightly better ISO performance n articulating screen (n some say light weight )

About the ISO performance, this is something I'm not too sure about. Most review says they are either on par, or D90 is better.

Not sure if the link can be used or not, but D90 scores better under Low-Light ISO, the rest is the same.

this im not sure too, i c reviews say D5000 is better, slightly
which even if its true it doesnt reli helps or make much difference

Very easy to check... find one day TT, shoot same thing with same settings totally, ISO put 1600/3200. see how it goes when zoom at 100%. sometimes review can just be a reference, not a fact.

I trust my own eyes =D

but like i said, difference is slightly, means u cant c it unless pixel peep more than 100%
but if base on hardware specs, both shud be the same

Reviews are better than you in pixel peeping for sure .

Haha.... Nic don wanna feel regret getting D5000, at least got something important better den D90

haha yeah @@ if not why they review XD
should be the same since same processor, same sensor. Doesn't have noticeable difference i think

Both same sensors, technically should not have differences . Unless slightly different noise reduction algorithms on the expeed processor.

Sensor I know is the same.... but is the processor exactly the same?

no, wont regret bought D5000
jz regret y that time dun have more $$$ to purchase D90

anyway, i tot of 1 thg, if i got D90 instead of D5000, i wont getting Sigmalux

different software makes the slight difference if theres any i guess
