Camera Labs has published their review of the Nikon D5000 dSLR Camera:

By inheriting the D90’s sensor and processing pipeline, the D5000 boasts two major benefits over its predecessor which bring it bang up-to-date: Live View and HD video recording. Making Live View more useful than any Nikon DSLR to date though is the inclusion of a fully-articulated monitor on the rear. Interestingly, this is hinged not at the side, but the bottom, but still allows for a great deal of flexibility when composing in Live View and filming movies.

It’s another compelling DSLR specification although one pitched at a similar price to two key rivals: Canon’s EOS 500D / Rebel T1i and the Olympus E-620. In our Nikon D5000 review we’ll compare all three models closely, starting with their physical differences and ending with how their respective image quality measures-up. We’ve also taken a detailed look at the D5000’s movie mode where you’ll see comparisons between it and Canon’s two movie modes. So if you’re considering one of these three DSLRs or are simply after a step-up from a budget, entry-level model, you’ve come to the right place.
