The Bottom Line	Small improvements fine-tune one of the best digital SLRs in the sub-$1,000 class.	Like the D80 before it, the Nikon D90 delivers an excellent dSLR for the money.	Though it falls short in its design, the Nikon D5000 delivers a nice feature set, speedy performance, and great photo quality for the money.	Nikon scores big with the D80, its new 10-megapixel, sub-$1,000 dSLR.	A solid, slightly better-than-basic dSLR, the Canon EOS Rebel T1i delivers photo quality and performance that adequately compensates for most of its annoyances.
