Lots of conversion work. So honestly, in a cineform workflow, this codec, though old, makes it much easier to convert to a more useable format for say after effects and premiere. Just to add, I am also proficient in avid and final cut. There are advantages to each of these. CS5 will improve premieres competitiveness.

All Canon have to do is supply a fully articulating screen with the 2000D while at the same time keeps the screen resolution at 230K. This will better differentiate the product from the 500D and give it more character rather than merely being a re-badged 450D. It won’t be better speced.

The bottom-swivel LCD is more attractive than a fixed LCD (of the same resolution), but I prefer the side-oriented articulation of the Oly E-620. Having seen the video from the D90, I'm not very attracted by that feature. And the D5000 isn't that much smaller than the D90, which remains a superior camera and ships with a more useful kit lens. It seems to me this is aimed at first-time buyers. Those who are more familiar with camera features and have a better understanding of what's on the market will go with the D90. That said, amongst those looking only in this price range, I think this camera will compete very well with the T1i/500D, which doesn't impress me too much. Nikon have done well with the market positioning of their products recently (D300/D90/D5000), giving those considering Canon plenty of good reasons to go with Nikon. In fact, most of the people I know or have seen with DSLRs have Nikon. At some point Canon will have to compete more aggressively in order to maintain their market share.

However, Olympus implemented this better in the E-620 with side hinges. http://a.img-dpreview.com/previews/olympuse620/images/screen2.jpg Nikon could have done that and relocated the buttons to the other side, above or below the screen. This looks similar to (but better than) Sony's folding screen implementation on the A350: http://a.img-dpreview.com/reviews/SonyDSLRA350/Images/sony_a350_Screen.jpg The articulating screen is a good feature.

Photography has always been about tradeoffs depending on your priorities for a givin shot, and to expect one camera to do everything for bargain pricing just doesn't seem realistic to me. I do think Canon should come out with a lower priced FF body, but I'd also like a higher end body 1.6 sensor as I'm not a fan of tele extenders. Still not holding my breath.

In at least one case they had a decent midrange zoom (albeit not as long as I'd like) where they discontinued the AF-S version but still sell an older, more expensive, and inferior predecessor.

Nikon has been adding DX lenses while discontinuing some of their sparse FF lineup. The inflated prices of what they do have are another minus.

Avoids registration and subject motion issues for the dozen or so people for whom HDR is important. So shoot your HDR scenes in 14 bit raw and use the extra bits to extraopolate additional exposures.
