The Bottom Line	The Nikon D70 is a great enthusiast dSLR.	Though it falls short in its design, the Nikon D5000 delivers a nice feature set, speedy performance, and great photo quality for the money.	Its feature set is basic even by entry-level standards, but the Nikon D3000 delivers the photo quality and performance you expect when stepping up to a dSLR, with an optional interface that's very beginner friendly.	Like the D80 before it, the Nikon D90 delivers an excellent dSLR for the money.
