^ Check out the Canon XS or XSi. Prices should be fairly low especially if you can find them used.

Damn, just realized...I haven't posted in here for a while

Jewel, GET OFF THAT A MODE. M mode, YouTube tutorials, and other forums are your friends and me of course. Haha.

I am a Nikon guy now but I would get a T1i over a D5000 any day.

Yeah, I'd like to hear a reasoning too. I'm debating between D5000 and D90. I am not a fan of Canon bodies or their lenses. The D90 seemsto have a lot more functionality than the D5000 but I'm still trying to figure out if that added functionality is worth the extra cost.

I think both cameras are neck and neck with almost everything except that the Canon shoots better at higher ISO and it has a better frame rate on the HD video.So even with these two small things and Canon's array of lenses, I would get the T1i over the d5000. The only thing I think D5000 might have is that it isa little cheaper then the t1i...but I could be wrong. Also think the T1i has auto focus when doing live view HD filming.

And as far as the D90 and D5000, I can't speak for the 5000 but the D90 is built really well just as far as construction goes. I bought my camera earlyJanuary and it literally has no scratches or dings at all. The D90 is really quiet as well and I am sure it shoots better in low lit situations. The HD featureis the same though and if you are into it, I think the burst mode is alittle better.

I'm a Nikon guy as well. If HD video is a priority, Canon is the way to go. Right now I'm thinking of dumping my Nikon gear to pick up a Canon 7Dwhenever funds allow.

Things I like about Nikon
- Ergonomics. It just feels "right" when being held.. especially the higher end bodies
- Two dials. one on the front and one on the back for changing aperture and shutter speed.
Things I hate about Nikon
- HD video is limited to 720p... even on the D300s. If it had 1080p with variable framerates, I'd get that over the 7D
- Expensive +*# lenses when compared to Canon.

Canon Likes
- Huge line-up of lenses
- They have their HD video on point... even more-so with the 7D
Canon dislikes
- Just doesn't feel "right" in the hands
- Missing the second dial for controlling aperture and shutter speed.

I think that's about it. At the end of the day just choose which tool works best. As much as I'm a Nikon fanboy at heart, I wouldn't hesitate toswitch if the other camp has better offerings.

I wouldn't recommend the D3000 at all. Its using last generations sensors. Its basically a rebadged D60. And their charging a premium for itto have the D3000 label. I'd save a bit more for a D5000 which has the latest sensor. Or save money by getting a D40.

My car in the back, aunts is the 5 series. Cars are dirty but i thought it was a pretty nice shot.

PS: Right now i am shooting high quality jpg. Some insight on raw would be great. I read up on it but still dont really get it, and how to work with it.

haha i loved my es <3

Spec wise they are almost identical. The D90 has a beefier body. It'll probably feel better in the hands since its a bigger camera. Mysuggestion is to go to Bestbuy and hand hold both of them to see which fits better in your hands. Then choose whichever feels better.
Here are some scenarios for you.

If you cop a D5000 Kit, you'll have money left over to pick up some lenses. About 400 dollars worth. And everyone agrees that the lenses are more importantthan bodies. With that said, the 35mm 1.8 is 200 bucks. and with another 200 left over... go pick up a used SB600 for flash.

If you decide to get the D90 kit. The only benefits I can see is a better body. The D90 is a bit faster fps-wise. Its 4.5FPS as opposed to the D5000's4fps.

IMO... I'd pick up the D5000 and get some extras with that money saved.

While you guys continue your conversation on your D5000 vs Ti debate, I personally just gota D5000 (I am a HUGE NIKON FAN, since the film cameras and I upgraded from a D40) Here our my test shot with the camera. Personally, I think both cameras aregreat, but I have a lot of Nikon equipment so I decided to go with the D5000
