G9!?!?! Whoa, I really haven't been paying attention! I still love my G1. LOL

And I paid way more than $900 just 6 or 7 years ago for a Canon 10D. It's good to see the prices getting so low.

I think the camera makers have twigged that consumers are more interested in how their cameras handle low-light shooting, shaky hands and getting things in focus than they are in how many pixels there are in the images. My current one (Canon G9) hits the spot for me – compact, but has load of pro features including RAW shooting.

Great article, Jim. Megapixels are overrated, and some people think the more the better, and that is not necessarily true.

The D90 is an excellent camera, in my opinion. I will have to check the D5000 out, and compare. Newer is not always better…it just depends on all of the variables, and what a particular photographer needs or wants out of a camera.

“The megapixel war…”

Problem is is that it isn't about megapixels, a lot of people buy a camera because it has an X amount of megapixels but they completely forget that the amount of megapixels is the least thing to worry about.

You and me both. I sold my D2X and got my D90, but I am seriously looking forward to a D400 or D700X!!!

Glad I held out for a new camera.

Cool article. With cameras and iPods I cant keep up. Predetermined obsolescence has a way of draining one's wallet but gotta admit I'm addicted to the new stuff
