Nikon D5000 and 10-24mm DX lens

Monday, April 13th, 2009 | Photos |

The release is supposedly imminent. Check it out at NikonRumors.

Bali-angle LCD, 2.7 inch? [Swivel LCD]

D movie image editing and enhanced scene mode

Silent Mode AF

11-point target tracking AF

ISO3200high sensitivity support

Megapixel count is undetermined, but presumably at least 12 MP.

LATER: DP Review has full specs and a comparison with the D90 and D60. Sensor would seem to be the same as the D90. The D90 has a pentaprism vs. the D5000’s pentamirror, and the while the D5000’s LCD is on a swivel mount it’s about a fourth as many number of pixels as the D90.

Price is about $300 hundred dollars different, with a lens on the D90  that’s worth about $200 more. Granted, the D5000 is new and hasn’t been marked down yet, but if I were buying today and wanted the kit lens I’d be tempted to get the D90.
