Nikon New: Introducing the D5000

Nikon has done it again. Nikon has introduced the D5000. A very impressive little camera, nicknamed the D90 Lite. This camera is essentially the same thing as the D90 but with a few twists.

It houses the same sensor as the D90 as well as these key features.

I knew it was only a matter of time before Nikon would put an LCD screen (like the above pictured one) on one of their cameras. Nikon keeps putting out something new and exciting every few months or so. Check the Nikon USA site for a full list of Features and Specs that this little camera has to offer.
