Nikon D5000 Sample Images Posted to dpreview.com

"We've posted samples images from the Nikon D5000 DSLR. We borrowed a production specification version of Nikon's latest digital camera and made the best of the London weather. Most of the shots have been taken using the Nikkor 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 VR and at default settings. However, we've tried to use a range of the camera's ISO settings, two of its scene modes (including the new Silhouette mode) and even tried turning Active D-Lighting off for some of the low-light samples. We've added these samples to the end of our hands-on preview."

Curious about the new Nikon D5000 and what its photo quality is like? Then check out the sample images. I spend a few minutes pixel-peeping at the images and the quality looks quite good - though all of the sample images I looked at were taken at ISO 200 or ISO 400, where most DSLR sensors do a bang-up job.
