Okay, so sub-$800 is for the body-only prices, but less than three weeks after the Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i generated lots of buzz for being the cheapest dSLR to shoot video, comes today’s announcement of the Nikon D5000, a 12.3 megapixel dSLR that shoots 720p movies and will sell for just $729.95 (body-only, or $849.95 with a 18-55mm kit lens).
The D5000’s other stand-out feature–the new articulating tilt and swivel LCD screen shown above in the image –was outed by the rumor patrol last week.
