Nikon’s breakthrough D90 ushered in the era of the HD video-taking DSLR last September, and now the company has introduced a somewhat similar model for around $250 less. This is why we love the CE business. While not a complete apples-to-apples comparison, just like the D90, the new D5000 is a 12.3-megapixel DSLR that records 1280 x 720p video at 24 frames per second. Let’s see if the D5000 is as good a deal as it appears to be on the surface.
