Some online camera reviewers fail to extol mightily the pivoting LCD of the Nikon D5000. Perhaps they should shoot for a year with this DSLR for a living so as to appreciate this feature. But for a wedding photographer like moi I find this addition (along with live-view) absolutely useful for those difficult camera angles. Moreover, I can use old MF lenses like my Nikkor 55mm f2.8 Micro (photo above). The superiority of Nikon's live-view enables moi to focus MF Nikkors and fine tune focus via zoom-in capable live-view...wow! If I nit-pick again: full-HD, 5.1 audio out, VGA LCD, manual hybrid sensor shutter, video focus tracking, lower price tag, yadda, yadda...
