I narrowed down my two choices between the d5000 and the d90, heres my take:
-D5000 is, in all practical sense, a d90 in a d60 body, with a swivel screen and a less expensive lens.
I went with the D90 because I wanted a little better/more versatile lens than the stock 18-55mm lens that came with the d5000. If I bought the D5000 body only and the 18-105mm lens separately, which comes stock on the D90, the D90 and the D5000 are the same price. Both the D90 and D5000 have video abilities. The D90 can accept more lenses, however, over the D5000
I went with Nikon because my buddies shoot with them and love them. I find that is how much people pick the brands is by what their friends have/like. I love the D90 because I know I will never grow out of it
