sure would be cool if they include thi swivel in future higher end models like D400... would they? hmm...
For those looking for an articulting LCD with a smaller body with D90 IQ plus video capabilities. D5000 hits the jokpot.
With this release, I can sense a D90 price drop or queing up at the BnS section.

Just read two drawbacks (the bottom hinge can easily be envisaged, donno why the idiots put it htere):
The D5000 doesn't gain the lovely 920,000 dot screen that appears on the D90 and more expensive Nikons. Instead it gets a 2.7", 230,000 dot tilt and swivel LCD. This can help make the most of the camera's Live view and video recording capabilities; however because, like the majority of DSLR live view systems, the D5000's live-view AF is so slow, it's not as useful as the concept might suggest. Which isn't to say it's a complete waste of time, just that it'll be more of a benefit for a minority of users with quite specific needs (working on a tripod, for instance), rather than being a feature that every buyer will use regularly.
One problem with this particular design, though, with the hinge positioned towards the base of the camera, is that the screen movements can become severely restricted or blocked once the camera is actually attached to a tripod. Therefore, you well may have to think about where you want the screen to go, before mounting the camera on the tripod. It simply doesn't work as well as the side-hinged design on Olympus and Panasonic cameras.

I think the flip screen is pretty darn cool.
We could do a lot more from the hip shots, to give it that good old twin reflex feel.
heck.. people won't even know your shooting them haha. :thumbsup:

the screen flips downwards, not upwards. so unless you want to rotate the camera upside down and shoot, i frankly doubt you can see the screen when you flip it out, unless you do a massive flip out and rotation.. which i just feel is so chunky and obvious, everyone will know what you are doing. :bsmilie: :bsmilie:
So the real Canon 500D's competitor trades a 3" non-swivel 920k screen for a 2.7" 230k swivel screen?
One man's poison is another man's meat bah, I guess... There are good uses for a swiveling screen but the wholesome 920k screen is just delightful for image playback. Nevertheless, I don't think Nikon had excessively cropped any corners for the D5000 delivery as a bottom-line DSLR... In fact, it's almost amusing to note its continuous shooting speed is just 0.5 fps behind the D90.

was watching the d5000 video from the link. was quite amused that they mentioned all footage was taken using D-Movie on the D5000 camera. But did they mention how many different lenses were used to take those footages? then at the end of the video, 18-55mm. hehehe~...
To me, D5000 spec is awesome, can't imagine what will be inside D400 body(if there is going to be one this year)-sorry OT abit
Knowing that you are the most reliable source in telling rumour around here, that is why I'm not just guessing but have faith in this so called rumour and wanted to be the first in the kopi session/camera body molestation session. This is definitely AKAN DATANG, right?
