The Nikon D5000 SLR has been announced, a higher entry level digital SLR which is somewhere between the D60 and D90.

Nikon's Press Release reads:

The D5000 has inherited the D90’s groundbreaking HD movie capability, Nikon’s proprietary D-Movie function. Coupled with extensive in-camera editing features, a wide choice of scene modes, 12.3MP sensor and high-sensitivity between ISO 200 and 3200 (which can be extended to ISO 100 and ISO 6400 equivalent) for shooting in a wide range of lighting conditions, this camera makes it easier than ever to take great quality pictures.

The price will be around $980 in the US and £650 in the UK (body only). Some places are accepting pre-orders whilst some retailers have the camera in stock.

Will you be investing in the camera?
