I went for the 5000 in the end and it arrived yesterday. Now begins the learning curve since I know nothing.

Cant recommend Ken Rockwell enough. Great site for the basics, also has a specific user guide for the D5000. Really helps to grasp the basics in a no nonsense way, lets you get one with working out how to take decent photos.

Use Manual exposure only - youll thank me for it.

PS: I take delivery of my TWO Nikon D3X bodies, plus a boat-load of lenses next week!

You can get stronger colours than this by setting the picture control to vivid, in shooting menu, picture control and adjust from standard. You can make it even wilder if you want.
