The newly announced Nikon D5000 brings yet more innovation to the field of DLSR photography. It’s a prosumer DLSR with a 12MP sensor and the now-obligatory HD video capture. From the front, the camera looks like a run-of-the-mill Nikon.

But the new variable-angle LCD screen on the back of the camera should make it easier to capture those shots that require the camera to be lifted or lowered. When not in use, the 2.7″ screen fits into the recess on the backplate, or can be moved to cater for most any viewing angle.

The ISO sensitivity reaches up to 6400 in a special mode and other than that, the camera features all the bells and whistles one would expect to see in a USD 800 toy. The D5000 is set to be on sale at the end of April.
