KenRockwell: The D5000 may be a replacement for Nikon's D40 DSLR.
The D40 is due for replacement any day now; the D40 came out on 16 November 2006.
With PMA opening Tuesday, March 3rd 2009, we'll know for sure any day now. This rumor seems pretty reasonable.
The D5000 seems to be a D40-like body with a D90/D300 class sensor(...More)
