The Bottom Line	Though it falls short in its design, the Nikon D5000 delivers a nice feature set, speedy performance, and great photo quality for the money.	Like the D80 before it, the Nikon D90 delivers an excellent dSLR for the money.	It doesn't stand out for its feature set or design, but the Canon EOS Rebel XSi delivers on performance and photo quality.	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.
