Nikon brought us the first video-enabled SLR with the D90 last August, and has now followed up with what is essentially a more consumer-oriented, lower-priced sibling in the D5000, at $850 with lens. The video mode remains unchanged, shooting at a maximum 720p at 24 frames per second, with lab-tested performance results that are nearly identical. The still image capabilities differ in notable ways, though, despite the fact that the two cameras share a 12.3-megapixel sensor.
Canon introduced its own sub-$1000 video-enabled SLR at nearly the same time as Nikon, with the Canon Rebel T1i, which we recently reviewed. Both cameras share a common problem when it comes to image sharpness — the Nikon outperformed the Canon by a bit, but neither excelled here. On the other hand, we were impressed by the low light, image noise and dynamic range performance of the Nikon D5000, all of which were notably superior to the T1i.
A complete review of our findings follows, including performance comparisons to several SLRs and, in our expanded video testing section, several camcorders as well.
