Amazon is now selling the Nikon D5000 and Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Lens kit
If you’d like to get your hands on one to get a feel of it but cannot, Engadget has a dozen of photos from all possible angles for your to check it out.
If you are getting serious about photography, you may want to consider the D200. The $600 Bestbuy deal we mentioned a while ago appears to have come back again. The D200 has none of the ~20 scene modes that D5000 has. So you are forced to learn the real elements of the photography: ISO, aperture, shutter speed, etc.

Eh . . . .D200 image quality is going to be crap compared to the D5000 or D90. or a D90.
Just buy the D5000 and force yourself to learn how cameras work.
Your statement has some truth in it. However camera is not all about image quality. D200 is more rugged, durable, faster, more controls at the disposal of the photographer, manual af-c/s switch, more usable lenses, has flash sync terminal, built-in CLS commander, etc. For people who don’t need these features, these features are worth nothing.
The D5000 does add the LiveView mode, HD Video, and other consumer-friendly features.
