This would be the Canon EOS 500D contender?
The 12.3Mp D5000 will sit between the Nikon D60 and D90 in the Nikon range, and is designed to appeal to those upgrading from a compact camera or less advanced DSLR.

More about some of the features:-
Vari-angle LCD
The live view LCD on the Nikon D5000 measures 2.7 inches.
Apparently, it is twistable to many different angles, helping you compose pictures over a crowd above your head, at ground level or even all the way round to help you take self-portraits.
It can also be turned round to face into the camera body for protection when not in use.
HD movie recording
Like its slightly bigger brother the Nikon D90, the D5000 can record movies in HD format - in this case 720p. There's an HD connection for viewing at best quality on a high-definition-ready TV.
Price: approx. 600 pounds

If this has D90 capabilities, it is impressive. Shooting with Lawrence's D90, ISO 1250 is clean and up till 1600 is quite good.
But D5000 has no built in motor, meaning, it is a light body but needs AFS lenses...and AFS lenses are expensive,,...comparatively.
I think D5000 tries to win over potential canon buyers with their new features.
And new buyers may not be aware that the D5000 has no built in motor...
I think so...
If I was a new buyer, I would be very tempted with 5000D..
