difference between Nikon D90 and Nikon D5000
What is the difference between Nikon D90 and Nikon D5000 ?—Arundhati
I am planning to buy Nikon d90 but recently Nikon launched D5000 which is nearly similar to the D90 features.The main difference is on its price..it is $300 less than D90.
I just want to know why D5000 costs cheaper than D90 !! is there any technical difference or something differ in the features of these two !!

The biggest differences will be in build quality and ease of using the camera in the manual mode. The D90 is meant for someone who has some photographic experience with SLR’s. The D5000 is designed for someone who is new to SLR cameras.
Image quality will be virtually the same. The D90 will do better at ISO settings above 800 but then only moderately.

I have been debating the same thing for two weeks now.. I’ve done so much research.. but I’ve finally ordered my d90 today… In the long run, you have more to work with on the d90. You can get any kind of lens because the d90 has a motor in the camera that will focus any lens. The best lenses for the d5000 are af-s lenses.. a bit more expensive.. Check Cameta auctions they have awesome bundle packages for either of them..
