How does a nikon d5000 rate as a camera?

What?

Overall, good camera, especially for stills, since it inherited the D90's sensor

for video, eh, could be much better

read reviews, hold it in your hand, and shoot with it a little before you buy

That is too much of a open ended question. It is a camera so according to that… 100% Camera. Vs.a 5D m II, it is not as good. Vs.a Polaroid Instamatic… Its superior.
