Right on schedule, Nikon’s announced the much-rumored D5000. Specs are almost exactly as predicted — behind that articulating 2.7-inch display lies a 12.3 megapixel DX-format sensor that maxes out at ISO 3200 with a 4fps burst rate, one-button Live View, and a 720/24p movie mode. Other features include an 11-point AF system with 3D focus tracking and 19 scene modes, but the real noise is the price: $849 with a 18-55 VR kit lens, or $729 for the body only — just slightly less than the Canon T1i, which has a higher-res sensor and can shoot 1080p video, but doesn’t have the trick LCD. That’s a tough call — we seriously can’t wait for the head-to-head. Full release after the break.
